Product details
Overview
XC5VLX85-2FF1153C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 LX family FPGA featuring 85,440 logic cells, 480 DSP48E slices, 4.2 MB of total block RAM, and operation at -2 speed grade. It is packaged in a 1153-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG1153) and targets high-performance digital signal processing and embedded vision systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX85-2FF1153C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count (640 user I/Os), differential signaling support (LVDS, SSTL, HSTL), embedded memory depth, and timing closure capability at 667 MHz system clock frequency.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX85-2FF1153C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, shift registers, and dedicated carry logic. It supports multi-gigabit transceivers (up to 3.2 Gbps) and includes integrated PCI Express® Endpoint blocks compliant with Gen1 x4 configuration.
Configuration is performed via Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, or JTAG modes using external PROM or processor-controlled interfaces. The device supports partial reconfiguration and features dual-register flip-flops per LUT for high-speed pipelining and low-power operation.

Does XC5VLX85-2FF1153C support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VLX85-2FF1153C supports partial reconfiguration through its ICAP (Internal Configuration Access Port) interface. This allows dynamic replacement of specific logic modules without resetting the entire device. The feature is enabled via Xilinx ISE tools and requires proper floorplanning and bitstream generation. Partial reconfiguration is actively used in XC5VLX85-2FF1153C deployments for adaptive radar waveform updates and runtime protocol switching.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX85-2FF1153C?
XC5VLX85-2FF1153C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. JTAG is used for debugging and boundary-scan testing, while SelectMAP enables high-speed parallel programming from microprocessors. All modes are fully documented in the XC5VLX85-2FF1153C configuration user guide.
Is XC5VLX85-2FF1153C RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, XC5VLX85-2FF1153C is manufactured in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant process and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). The FFG1153 package uses matte tin finish on solder balls. Compliance documentation, including Certificate of Conformance, is available for XC5VLX85-2FF1153C upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
What is the total amount of block RAM available in XC5VLX85-2FF1153C?
XC5VLX85-2FF1153C provides 4.2 MB of total block RAM, composed of 280 × 18 Kb (or 140 × 36 Kb) Block RAM primitives. Each block supports true dual-port operation, byte-write enable, and programmable parity. This memory capacity is sufficient for multi-line video buffers, packet queuing, or coefficient storage in XC5VLX85-2FF1153C-based signal processing pipelines.
