FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XC5VLX50-1FF1153I?
The XC5VLX50-1FF1153I integrates RocketIO GTP transceivers rated for 1.0–2.5 Gbps per lane. These transceivers are qualified for PCIe Gen1 (2.5 Gbps) and Serial RapidIO (1.25–2.5 Gbps) operation. Performance is guaranteed across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C) with proper reference clock stability and board-level signal integrity design. XC5VLX50-1FF1153I does not support rates above 2.5 Gbps.
Does XC5VLX50-1FF1153I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VLX50-1FF1153I supports partial reconfiguration through its native bitstream architecture and associated tools in Vivado Design Suite. This allows dynamic replacement of specific logic regions without resetting the entire device. XC5VLX50-1FF1153I requires external configuration memory and careful floorplanning to isolate reconfigurable partitions. Implementation is validated per Xilinx UG192 and XAPP118.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX50-1FF1153I?
XC5VLX50-1FF1153I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Master SelectMAP uses internal oscillator to drive CCLK; Slave SelectMAP relies on external controller. JTAG is used for boundary-scan testing and programming. SPI mode enables compact flash-based boot. All modes are electrically and functionally verified per XC5VLX50-1FF1153I datasheet DS106.
Is XC5VLX50-1FF1153I RoHS compliant?
Yes, XC5VLX50-1FF1153I is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with Pb-free solder balls and halogen-free substrate. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements. The FF1153 package uses matte tin finish on copper pillars and conforms to JEDEC MO-251 specifications. Documentation is available in Xilinx Product Change Notification PCN#0903121.
What is the purpose of the PROG_B pin on XC5VLX50-1FF1153I?
The PROG_B pin on XC5VLX50-1FF1153I is an active-low input that triggers full reconfiguration of the device without requiring a power cycle. When asserted, it clears the configuration memory and initiates a new configuration sequence from the selected source (e.g., SPI flash or SelectMAP controller). XC5VLX50-1FF1153I requires minimum 100 ns pulse width and synchronization with CCLK for reliable operation per DS106 Section 5.2.
