FAQ

What is the maximum data rate supported by the GTY transceivers on the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I?

The XCKU5P-2SFVB784I supports GTY transceivers operating up to 28.8 Gb/s per lane using PAM4 modulation. This enables 100G, 200G, and 400G Ethernet implementations with RS-FEC. The transceiver architecture includes built-in clock data recovery, equalization, and PRBS pattern generation for compliance testing. Each GTY quad contains four transceiver lanes with independent TX/RX calibration.

Does the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I include hardened PCIe Gen4 support?

Yes, the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I integrates a hardened PCIe Gen4 x16 root complex block. It supports link training, error reporting, and Advanced Error Reporting (AER) without consuming programmable logic resources. The block interfaces directly with the AXI4-Stream fabric and supports MSI-X interrupt delivery. This eliminates the need for external PCIe switches in accelerator card designs.

How many hardened 100G Ethernet MAC blocks does the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I provide?

The XCKU5P-2SFVB784I includes 12 hardened 100G Ethernet MAC blocks compliant with IEEE 802.3bj RS-FEC. Each MAC supports full line-rate 100GbE processing with integrated CRC generation, flow control, and statistics collection. These blocks reduce logic utilization by approximately 35% compared to soft RTL implementations and operate independently across multiple I/O banks.

What memory interface standards are supported by the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I?

The XCKU5P-2SFVB784I integrates dual 64-bit DDR4 memory controllers supporting data rates up to 2400 MT/s. It also supports LPDDR4 at 4266 MT/s and RLDRAM3 at 2133 MT/s. All controllers include ECC support, programmable read/write leveling, and dynamic calibration. The memory subsystem connects directly to the AXI4-Stream interconnect fabric with configurable burst lengths and priority arbitration.

Is the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I suitable for radiation-tolerant applications?

The XCKU5P-2SFVB784I is not a radiation-hardened device. It is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C) and meets JESD22-A108 reliability standards. For aerospace or satellite applications requiring TID tolerance or SEE mitigation, AMD offers the XQRKU060 and XQKU060Q radiation-tolerant variants-neither of which share the same hardened 100G MAC or GTY transceiver specifications as the XCKU5P-2SFVB784I.
