Product details
Overview
XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 SXT family FPGA featuring 240,000 logic cells, 12.5 Mb of block RAM, 640 DSP48E slices, and support for 3.125 Gbps serial transceivers. It is used in high-performance digital signal processing, radar beamforming, and reconfigurable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver compliance with PCIe Gen1/Gen2, I/O bank voltage flexibility (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and configuration via Master SelectMAP or JTAG.
Technical Context
The XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48E slices for arithmetic-intensive tasks, and integrated RocketIO GTP transceivers. It supports multi-gigabit serial protocols including SATA, Serial RapidIO, and CPRI.
Configuration is performed through internal configuration memory loaded via external SPI flash or PROM, with fallback support and CRC-based bitstream integrity checking. The device uses 65 nm copper process technology and operates at core voltage of 1.0 V ±3%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Cells | 240,000 - total available LUTs + flip-flops for complex state-machine and datapath implementation |
| Block RAM | 12.5 Mb - distributed across 576 x 18-kb BRAM primitives, supporting true dual-port operation |
| DSP Slices | 640 × DSP48E - each performs 25×18 multiply-accumulate in one cycle, pipelinable for FIR filters |
| Transceivers | 16 × RocketIO GTP - 100–3125 Mbps serial I/O, compliant with PCIe Gen1/Gen2 and SATA GenII |
| I/O Pins | 720 user I/O - organized in 24 banks, supporting LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, and differential signaling standards |
| Core Voltage | 1.0 V ±3% - requires tight regulation; impacts dynamic power and timing closure margin |
Pinout & Package
XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C is housed in a 1738-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG) package with 35 mm × 35 mm body size and 1.0 mm ball pitch. Thermal and mechanical data comply with JEDEC MO-251.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CCLK | Configuration clock input | Drives internal configuration logic during Master SelectMAP mode; must be stable before INIT_B deassertion |
| INIT_B | Configuration status output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating configuration memory readiness and bitstream CRC pass/fail |
| DONE | Configuration completion indicator | Open-drain output pulled high externally; asserts when configuration completes and startup sequence finishes |
| PROGRAM_B | Configuration reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears configuration memory and restarts boot process |
| M0–M2 | Mode select inputs | Set configuration mode (e.g., Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG) at power-up; sampled on PROGRAM_B release |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated GTP transceivers | Enable direct interface to 3.125 Gbps serial links without external PHY, reducing board area and jitter accumulation |
| DSP48E slice architecture | Supports chained 48-bit arithmetic, symmetric FIR filtering, and real-time FFT engine implementation |
| SelectIO technology | Per-bank I/O voltage control allows mixed-voltage interfaces (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA core with 3.3 V legacy peripherals) |
| Partial reconfiguration support | Enables dynamic module swapping in runtime without full system reset, critical for adaptive radio and mission-critical systems |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C?
The XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C integrates RocketIO GTP transceivers rated up to 3.125 Gbps per lane. This rate is validated for protocols including PCIe Gen1/Gen2, SATA GenII, and Serial RapidIO. Operation above 3.125 Gbps is not supported; higher-speed applications require Virtex-6 or later families with GTX/GTH transceivers.
Does XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C supports partial reconfiguration through Xilinx ISE design tools and associated bitstream generation flow. This capability enables dynamic module swapping without full device reset, which is used in adaptive radio and real-time diagnostic systems where uptime and functional agility are critical.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C?
XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C 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 programming; Master SelectMAP enables standalone boot from external flash memory.
What is the I/O standard compatibility of XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C?
XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, and differential standards including LVDS, BLVDS, and RSDS across its 24 I/O banks. Each bank operates independently at voltages from 1.2 V to 3.3 V, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters.
Is XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C still in active production?
XC5VSX240T-1FFG1738C is in continued production and supported by AMD under its long-term product program. While newer Virtex families exist, this device remains qualified for aerospace, defense, and medical applications where design lock-in and extended lifecycle assurance are required.
