Product details
Overview
XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I 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 x4 endpoint functionality with integrated RocketIO GTP transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver data rate, I/O standard support (LVDS, SSTL, HSTL), thermal performance in industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C), and configuration interface compatibility (Master SelectMAP, Slave Serial).
Technical Context
The XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I uses a 65 nm copper process and employs a hierarchical CLB architecture with dual 6-input LUTs per slice. Its clocking system includes up to 32 DCMs and 4 PLLs for jitter reduction and phase alignment across multiple domains.
It integrates 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers supporting 100 Mbps–2.5 Gbps operation, with built-in 8B/10B encoding, elastic buffers, and PRBS pattern generation. Configuration occurs via internal Spartan-3AN-style multi-boot SPI flash interface or JTAG boundary-scan.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I?
The XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I supports RocketIO GTP transceivers rated up to 2.5 Gbps per lane. This rate is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and applies to all 12 transceiver quads. The device does not support rates above 2.5 Gbps, and exceeding this limit may result in bit-error-rate degradation or loss of lock.
Does XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I include hard IP for PCI Express Gen1?
Yes, XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I integrates dedicated PCIe Gen1 endpoint hard logic supporting x1, x2, and x4 link widths. This eliminates reliance on soft-core implementations and guarantees compliance with PCIe Base Specification 1.1. The hard IP handles transaction layer packet generation, data link layer ACK/NAK, and physical layer encoding without consuming logic cells.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I?
XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SelectMAP uses an external SPI flash to auto-load bitstream at power-up; Slave Serial accepts serial bitstream via DIN/CCLK; JTAG enables boundary-scan testing and partial reconfiguration. All modes operate within the -40°C to +100°C temperature range.
Is XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I qualified for automotive applications?
No, XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I is specified for industrial temperature operation (-40°C to +100°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It lacks automotive-specific screening, failure-in-time (FIT) reporting, and enhanced ESD protection required for passenger vehicle ECUs. For automotive use, AMD recommends the XA-Virtex-5 family variants with explicit AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification.
How many Block RAM columns does XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I contain?
XC5VLX50T-2FFG1136I contains 128 Block RAM columns, each providing 18 kbits of dual-port memory. These are organized as 32 × 36 kbit or 64 × 18 kbit configurations and support independent read/write clocks. Total usable Block RAM capacity is 2,002 kbits, verified in UG192 v3.3 section 2.2.2.
