FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C?
The XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C supports RocketIO GTP transceivers rated up to 3.75 Gbps per lane. This rating is validated under specified temperature and voltage conditions per the official Virtex-5 DC and Switching Characteristics datasheet (DS106). Operation at 2.5 Gbps is guaranteed across the full commercial temperature range; higher rates require careful signal integrity analysis and reference clock jitter control below 1 ps RMS.
Does XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C include hard IP for PCI Express?
Yes, XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C integrates a PCIe Gen1 endpoint hard IP block supporting x1, x2, and x4 link widths. This dedicated logic handles transaction layer, data link layer, and physical layer functions without consuming programmable logic resources. The implementation complies with PCI Express Base Specification v1.1 and supports hot-plug detection and power management states L0s/L1.
What configuration modes does XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C support?
XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Master SelectMAP is the default factory setting, using an external SPI flash to auto-load the bitstream on power-up. JTAG mode enables debugging and in-system programming, while Slave SelectMAP allows configuration by an external controller such as a microprocessor or CPLD.
How many Block RAM columns does XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C contain?
XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C contains 128 Block RAM columns, each providing 36 Kbits of storage, totaling 3.8 MB of on-chip memory. Each column can be configured as dual-port RAM, single-port RAM, or shift register, with byte-write enable and parity support. These resources are distributed across the FPGA fabric to minimize routing congestion during high-throughput memory access patterns.
Is XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C qualified for extended temperature operation?
No, XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136C is specified only for the commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C ambient). It does not carry industrial (–40°C to +100°C) or automotive (–40°C to +125°C) qualification. For extended temperature applications, engineers should consider the XC5VSX50T-2FFG1136I variant, which shares identical logic resources and pinout but is screened and tested across –40°C to +100°C.
