The XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES integrates RocketIO GTP transceivers rated for 1.0 to 2.5 Gbps operation. These transceivers support protocols including XAUI, SATA Gen2, and Serial RapidIO. Each channel includes clock and data recovery circuitry, and the 2.5 Gbps limit is specified under recommended voltage and temperature conditions per AMD's Virtex-5 DC and Switching Characteristics documentation.
Does XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES supports partial reconfiguration through its configuration logic and associated tools in the ISE Design Suite. This capability allows dynamic replacement of functional modules without resetting the entire device, enabling adaptive behavior in applications like protocol gateways and real-time signal processing. Implementation requires specific HDL partitioning and use of the PlanAhead toolflow.
What I/O standards are supported by XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES?
XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES supports 21 I/O standards across its six banks, including LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, and differential standards such as LVDS, BLVDS, and RSDS. Voltage levels range from 1.2 V to 3.3 V per bank, allowing concurrent interfacing to DDR2 memory, CMOS image sensors, and legacy parallel buses without level-shifting components.
What is the configuration memory size required for XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES?
The XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES requires approximately 11.2 Mbits of configuration bitstream storage when configured in Master SelectMAP mode using compressed bitstream format. This value corresponds to the default uncompressed bitstream size scaled by typical compression ratios observed in production designs targeting this device.
Is XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES qualified for extended temperature operation?
XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136CES is offered in the Extended Temperature (E) grade, rated for operation from –40°C to +100°C case temperature. This qualification meets requirements for deployment in avionics, ground radar, and industrial control environments where thermal cycling and sustained high ambient temperatures are present.
