The XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I integrates 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers rated for 100 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps operation. Each transceiver includes a CDR, 8B/10B encoder/decoder, and elastic buffer. This range supports XAUI, SATA I/II, and Serial RapidIO Gen1 protocols. The 2.5 Gbps limit is specified under recommended operating conditions with proper reference clock jitter and PCB layout.
Does XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I supports partial reconfiguration through its FPGA fabric and configuration logic. This capability allows dynamic swapping of functional modules during operation without resetting the entire device or halting system execution. Implementation requires use of Xilinx ISE Design Suite 13.4 or later and adherence to placement constraints defined in UG191.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I?
XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave Parallel, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SelectMAP uses an external PROM or microcontroller to drive CCLK and DIN; Slave Parallel allows host CPU to write configuration data directly; JTAG enables programming and boundary-scan testing. All modes are electrically compatible with the FFG665 package pinout.
Is XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I qualified for automotive applications?
No, XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is not intended for automotive safety-critical systems. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C) and used primarily in telecom, medical, and aerospace applications. For automotive-grade alternatives, refer to Xilinx Automotive (XA) variants such as XC5VLX50T-2FFG665C, which undergo additional qualification testing.
What is the total Block RAM capacity of XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I?
The XC5VLX50T-2FFG665I provides 2,129,920 bits of total Block RAM distributed across 256 BRAM primitives. Each BRAM can be configured as single-port or true dual-port memory with widths from 1 to 36 bits and depths up to 18 Kbits. This capacity supports large FIFOs, coefficient tables, and frame buffers in video and signal processing designs.
