The XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I supports a maximum transceiver data rate of 5.9 Gbps per lane. This value is specified in the Virtex-5 FPGA datasheet DS106 and validated across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. All 8 transceiver lanes meet this rate under typical voltage and thermal conditions.
Does XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I supports partial reconfiguration through its dedicated ICAP (Internal Configuration Access Port) and frame-based bitstream loading mechanism. This capability allows dynamic replacement of logic modules without resetting the entire device or halting system operation.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I?
XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and SPI x4 configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by the M0–M2 pins at power-up. Each mode offers distinct trade-offs in boot speed, security, and host processor dependency.
Is XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes, the "I" suffix in XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I denotes Industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +100°C junction). This rating is confirmed in AMD's Virtex-5 FPGA Packaging and Reliability Report UG169 and applies to the full 1136-ball FFG package variant.
What is the purpose of the System Monitor in XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I?
The System Monitor in XC5VSX50T-1FFG1136I provides on-die temperature and supply voltage measurements accessible via I²C or dedicated analog outputs.
