Product details
Overview
XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 46,080 logic cells, 2.5 Gbps serial transceivers, and embedded Block RAM totaling 2,088 kbits. It implements high-speed signal processing in radar baseband subsystems with deterministic latency and multi-gigabit I/O.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include transceiver compliance (VSR), I/O bank voltage flexibility (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and configuration interface options (Master SelectMAP, Slave Serial).
Technical Context
The XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C integrates 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers supporting 100 Mbps–2.5 Gbps operation with built-in 8B/10B encoding and elastic buffers. Its CLB architecture uses dual 6-input LUTs per slice with dedicated carry logic for arithmetic acceleration.
Configuration occurs via internal Spartan-3-style JTAG or external Master SelectMAP mode using parallel 32-bit bus at up to 100 MHz. The device supports partial reconfiguration through ICAP interface and includes integrated DCMs for clock synthesis and phase alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for the GTP transceivers in XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C?
The XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C integrates 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers each rated for 100 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps operation. These transceivers support protocols including PCIe Gen1, SATA II, and XAUI. Operation above 2.5 Gbps is not supported, and no oversampling or gearbox functionality is included in this generation.
Does XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C support partial reconfiguration in the field?
Yes, XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C supports partial reconfiguration via the Internal Configuration Access Port (ICAP). This capability allows dynamic loading of new logic modules without resetting the entire device or disrupting active I/O or memory operations, provided the design adheres to Xilinx's PR design flow and floorplanning rules.
What configuration modes are available for XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C?
XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C supports four primary configuration modes: Master SelectMAP (parallel 32-bit bus), Slave Serial (SPI-like serial interface), JTAG boundary-scan, and Slave SelectMAP. Mode selection is controlled by the M0–M2 pins at power-up, and all modes are fully documented in UG191 v3.1.
Can XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C operate with mixed I/O standards on the same bank?
No, XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C requires uniform VCCO voltage and compatible signaling standards within each of its 16 I/O banks. For example, an LVCMOS33 output cannot share a bank with an SSTL18 input. Each bank must be assigned a single VCCO and adhere to one electrical standard group per bank.
Is XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C qualified for extended temperature operation?
XC5VLX50T-2FF1136C is specified for commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C). It is not officially qualified for extended industrial (–40°C to +100°C) or military temperature ranges. Derating analysis and qualification testing would be required for operation outside the published commercial range.
