It operates at -1 speed grade with I-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +100°C) and is housed in a 1759-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG1759) package. It targets high-performance digital signal processing in radar and broadband wireless infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the XC6VLX550T-1FF1759I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic density, DSP slice count, I/O voltage support (1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), transceiver line rate (up to 6.6 Gbps), and thermal performance in convection-cooled systems.
Technical Context
The XC6VLX550T-1FF1759I implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48E1 slices for arithmetic-intensive tasks, and integrated 6.6 Gbps multi-gigabit transceivers. It supports PCI Express Gen2 x8, Serial RapidIO, and CPRI protocols via its GTx transceivers.
Configuration is performed via Master SelectMAP or JTAG, with bitstream encryption and SEU mitigation features enabled. The device uses 40 nm bulk CMOS process technology and supports partial reconfiguration for dynamic function swapping without full system reset.
