Product details
Overview
XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES from AMD is a Virtex-5 FPGA with 46,080 logic cells, 2.5 Gbps serial transceivers, and 1136-pin flip-chip BGA package. It integrates dual-register LUTs, Block RAM, DSP48E slices, and PCI Express® Endpoint hard IP for high-performance embedded processing in radar signal conditioning systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver compliance (PCIe Gen1), I/O bank voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and configuration interface type (SelectMAP x16).
Technical Context
The XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES implements a column-based architecture with dedicated routing for clock, reset, and control signals. It supports multi-gigabit transceivers compliant with PCIe Gen1 (2.5 Gbps), SATA, and Serial RapidIO standards, and includes integrated DDR2 memory controller logic supporting up to 400 MHz operation.
Configuration is performed via Master SelectMAP mode using a 16-bit parallel interface, with bitstream encryption enabled through AES-256 key storage in on-chip eFUSE. Device startup time is 12 ms typical at 2.5 V VCCINT with JTAG boundary-scan support for IEEE 1149.1 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR2 memory data rate for XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES?
The XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES supports DDR2 memory operation up to 400 MHz data rate (800 Mbps transfer rate) using its integrated memory controller. This capability is verified in Xilinx UG190 v3.1 and applies specifically to the XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES when configured with appropriate I/O standards and termination settings.
Does XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES include built-in PCIe Gen1 endpoint functionality?
Yes, XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES integrates hard-wired PCIe Gen1 endpoint logic compliant with PCI Express Base Specification v1.1. This eliminates the need for soft IP cores and guarantees timing closure for x1 or x4 lane configurations without additional licensing fees.
What configuration modes does XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES support?
XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES supports Master SelectMAP x16, Slave SelectMAP x8/x16, Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by the M2:M0 pins at power-up, with Master SelectMAP x16 being the default for high-speed parallel loading from flash or microcontroller.
Is XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES compatible with RoHS and lead-free assembly processes?
Yes, XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES uses a Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) flip-chip BGA package with matte tin finish on solder balls. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 3 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature.
What is the purpose of the INIT_B pin on XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES?
The INIT_B pin on XC5VLX50T-1FFG1136CES is an open-drain, active-low signal that indicates device initialization status. It goes low during power-up or after PROGRAM_B assertion and returns high when configuration memory is ready and CRC checking begins, serving as a critical handshake signal in automated configuration sequences.
