Product details
Overview
XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a high-performance Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 220,000 logic cells, 12.8 Mb of block RAM, and 640 DSP48E slices. It supports PCIe Gen1 x8, DDR2-533 memory interfaces, and operates at -1 speed grade with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). It is used in high-bandwidth digital signal processing systems such as radar baseband processing.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (720 user I/Os), transceiver capability (no integrated multi-gigabit transceivers), configuration interface (Master SelectMAP, Slave Parallel), and thermal design implications of the 1738-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch BGA package.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with six distinct logic tile types: CLB, Memory, DSP, Clock, I/O, and Configuration. Its clocking system includes 32 DCMs and 16 PLLs for low-jitter clock synthesis and phase alignment across multiple domains.
It supports configuration via SPIx4, BPIx16, or JTAG, and features System Monitor functionality for on-chip temperature and supply voltage monitoring. The device lacks built-in SERDES, distinguishing it from the SXT or FXT families, and relies on external PHYs for high-speed serial protocols.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR2 memory interface speed for XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I?
The XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I supports DDR2-533 (266 MHz clock, 533 MT/s data rate) using its dedicated memory controller hard IP and I/O banks configured for SSTL_18. This speed is guaranteed under -1 speed grade conditions at industrial temperature range and requires proper PCB layout with matched trace lengths and termination.
Does XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I include integrated multi-gigabit transceivers?
No, the XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I does not include integrated multi-gigabit transceivers. It belongs to the LX (Logic eXtended) subfamily of Virtex-5, which focuses on logic and DSP density rather than serial connectivity. High-speed serial links require external PHY devices or migration to the SX (Signal eXtended) or FX (Fabric eXtended) variants.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I?
The XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave Parallel, Slave Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-on reset. Configuration bitstreams can be loaded from SPI flash, parallel NOR flash, or through JTAG boundary-scan for debugging and programming.
Is XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I qualified for automotive applications?
The XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I is rated for industrial temperature (-40°C to +100°C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It has been deployed in non-safety-critical automotive test equipment and prototyping platforms, but not in ASIL-B or higher production ECUs without additional system-level qualification and validation per ISO 26262.
How many clock management tiles (CMTs) are available in XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I?
The XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738I contains 16 clock management tiles (CMTs), each integrating one DCM and one PLL. These provide independent clock synthesis, phase shifting, frequency multiplication/division, and jitter filtering capabilities across multiple clock domains required for mixed-signal and high-speed interface designs.
