Product details
Overview
XC5VLX50-1FF676I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 46,080 logic cells, 2.5 Gbps serial transceivers, and embedded Block RAM totaling 2,002 kbits. It implements high-speed signal processing in radar baseband units and supports PCIe Gen1 endpoint functionality with integrated RocketIO transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX50-1FF676I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), transceiver lane count (12 lanes), and -1 speed grade timing compliance for deterministic latency paths.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX50-1FF676I uses a 65 nm copper process and employs a column-based architecture with dedicated DSP48E slices for arithmetic-intensive tasks. It integrates 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers operating up to 3.75 Gbps per lane and supports multi-gigabit protocols including SATA, Serial RapidIO, and CPRI.
Configuration is performed via Master SelectMAP or JTAG, with bitstream encryption supported through AES-256. The device includes dual-register flip-flops per slice and supports partial reconfiguration for dynamic function swapping without full system reset.
