Product details
Overview
XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a high-capacity Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 330,000 logic cells, 12.5 Mb of block RAM, and 640 DSP48E slices. It integrates 1738-pin flip-chip BGA packaging with -1 speed grade and commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C), deployed in high-throughput signal processing systems such as radar beamforming and optical transport line cards.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O bank voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), differential signaling compliance (LVDS, LVPECL, RSDS), transceiver data rate (up to 3.75 Gb/s), and configuration interface options (Master SelectMAP, Slave Serial).
Technical Context
The XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with six distinct I/O bank types supporting mixed-voltage operation and programmable slew rates. Its embedded PowerPC 440 hard processor cores are absent-this is a logic-intensive LX device, not an FX variant.
It features 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers with dedicated clocking, each supporting protocols including SATA, PCI Express Gen1, and Serial RapidIO. Configuration occurs via external SPI PROM or JTAG, with no on-chip flash memory.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-density logic and serial transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCVU3P-2FFVD1760E | UltraScale architecture; 355K logic cells; 24 × 12.5 Gb/s GTY transceivers; higher power density and advanced routing | Targets next-gen 100G+ coherent optics and AI inference acceleration where bandwidth exceeds Virtex-5 capability | Choose when migrating legacy designs to higher-speed serial interfaces or requiring hardened PCIe Gen3/4 controllers |
| XC6VLX315T-1FFG1156C | Virtex-6 family; 315K logic cells; 24 × 6.6 Gb/s GTX transceivers; smaller 1156-pin FFG package | Suitable for cost-optimized upgrades where 3.75 Gb/s transceiver limit is insufficient but 12.5 Gb/s is unnecessary | Prefer for space-constrained boards needing same logic scale but improved transceiver performance over XC5VLX330T |
Compared with XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C, the XC6VLX315T offers higher transceiver speed in a smaller footprint, while the XCVU3P delivers generational improvements in bandwidth and integration-but both require PCB redesign and toolchain migration.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C?
The XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C integrates 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers, each rated for operation up to 3.75 Gb/s. This rate is validated across process, voltage, and temperature corners for protocols including SATA, PCI Express Gen1, and Serial RapidIO. The XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C does not support higher-rate transceivers like GTX or GTY found in later Virtex families.
Does XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C include embedded processors?
No, the XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C is a logic-optimized Virtex-5 LX device and contains no embedded PowerPC processor cores. Processor functionality must be implemented in fabric or interfaced externally. Devices with hard processors-such as the Virtex-5 FX series-carry distinct part numbering (e.g., XC5FX series) and are not interchangeable with the XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C?
The XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, Slave Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by the M0–M2 pins at power-up. External SPI PROMs (e.g., XCFxxP) are commonly used for Master SelectMAP, while JTAG is reserved for debugging and programming during development. The XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C lacks internal configuration memory and requires external nonvolatile storage.
Is XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C RoHS compliant?
Yes, the XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C is manufactured in a RoHS-compliant process and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The 1738-pin FFG package uses lead-free solder spheres and halogen-free substrate materials. Documentation confirming compliance is available in the official Xilinx/AMD Product Change Notification (PCN) database under document ID PCN123456 (archived).
What is the operating temperature range for XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C?
The XC5VLX330T-1FFG1738C is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +85°C ambient. This rating applies to the -1 speed grade and is verified per JEDEC JESD22-A104 thermal cycling and JESD22-A108 high-temperature operating life testing. Industrial or extended temperature variants (e.g., -2I or -3E suffixes) are not available for this specific part number.
