Product details
Overview
XC5VSX50T-2FF665C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 46,080 logic cells, 2.5 Gbps serial transceivers, and integrated PowerPC 440 processor cores. It supports PCI Express x4 endpoints, DDR2 memory interfaces up to 533 MHz, and operates at -2 speed grade with commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C). It is used in high-performance embedded computing and reconfigurable signal processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VSX50T-2FF665C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include transceiver compliance (PCIe Gen1), I/O bank voltage flexibility (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and hard IP block availability (RocketIO GTP, Block RAM, DSP48E).
Technical Context
The XC5VSX50T-2FF665C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, and dedicated arithmetic units. It integrates 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers supporting 100 Mbps–2.5 Gbps operation and 2 PowerPC 440 tri-core processors with 32 kB instruction + 32 kB data L1 cache per core.
It features 1,152 Block RAMs (each 36 Kb), 192 DSP48E slices for high-speed multiply-accumulate operations, and SelectIO technology supporting SSTL, HSTL, LVCMOS, and differential standards including LVDS and RSDS across 16 I/O banks.
Key Specifications
