Product details
Overview
XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I 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 with deterministic latency and multi-gigabit I/O.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver compliance (VSR, XAUI), I/O bank voltage flexibility (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and -2 speed grade timing closure at 1136-pin FF package.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I integrates 64 RocketIO GTP transceivers supporting 100 Mbps–2.5 Gbps operation with embedded 8B/10B encoding and clock correction. Its fabric includes 36-kbit Block RAMs, DSP48E slices with 25×18 multipliers, and SelectIO technology with programmable slew rate and termination.
It uses a 6-input LUT architecture with dedicated carry logic and supports partial reconfiguration. Configuration occurs via Master SelectMAP or JTAG, with bitstream encryption available through AES-256 key storage in on-chip eFUSE.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I?
The XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I supports GTP transceivers operating from 100 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps per lane. This range covers protocols such as XAUI, SATA I/II, CPRI, and Serial RapidIO. The -2 speed grade ensures reliable operation at the upper limit under industrial temperature conditions (-40°C to +100°C).
Does XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I supports partial reconfiguration through its Internal Configuration Access Port (ICAP). This allows dynamic loading of functional modules without resetting the entire device. Implementation requires specific HDL partitioning, bitstream generation tools, and runtime controller logic within the FPGA fabric.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I?
XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I supports multiple configuration modes: Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial. Mode selection is controlled by the M0–M2 pins at power-up. JTAG is used for debugging and programming; Master SelectMAP enables autonomous boot from external flash memory.
Is XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I qualified for automotive applications?
No, XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and carries the 'I' suffix indicating industrial qualification. It is not AEC-Q100 qualified and lacks automotive-specific reliability testing, fault injection coverage, or safety documentation required for automotive ECUs.
What is the total embedded memory capacity of XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I?
XC5VLX50T-2FF1136I contains 2,002 kbits of total Block RAM, distributed across 288 individual 36-kbit RAMB36 blocks. Each block can be configured as dual-port RAM, FIFO, or shift register. No additional distributed RAM or ROM is included beyond this Block RAM resource.
