XC5VFX200T-2FF1738I

Die XC5VFX200T-2FF1738I is a high-capacity FPGA from the Virtex-5 FXT family (Xilinx, now AMD), sitting at the upper end for designs that demand massive logic resources combined with a strong set of high-speed serial transceivers. It’s fabricated on the proven 65nm process, making it a reliable pick for complex, performance-oriented applications.

Here’s the core info engineers typically check first:

• ~196,608 logic cells — lots of headroom for heavy DSP workloads, intricate packet engines, multi-protocol interfaces, or large-scale custom logic
• 24 RocketIO GTX transceivers — these support multi-gigabit serial links, commonly achieving up to ~6.5 Gbps in real deployments (great for 10Gb Ethernet, PCIe Gen1/2, Serial RapidIO, or proprietary high-speed backplanes)
• 960 user I/Os — ample flexible pins for external DDR2/3 memory, high-speed converters, or system interconnects
• Embedded block RAM around 16–17 Mbit (plus distributed RAM for fast local buffers and small FIFOs)
• Integrated PowerPC 440 hard processor blocks — useful for embedded control, software offload, or hybrid designs without needing an external CPU
• Paket: 1738-pin FF (flip-chip BGA, ~42.5 × 42.5 mm), industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C junction)
• -2 speed grade — provides excellent timing performance and closure margins while balancing power better than the peak -3 options in many scenarios
