XC5VSX95T-2FFG1136C

The XC5VSX95T-2FFG1136C is a mid-to-high density FPGA from the Virtex-5 SXT family (Xilinx, now AMD), built on the proven 65nm process and optimized for applications that lean hard into DSP processing with a good dose of high-speed serial connectivity.

Here’s the rundown of the specs engineers usually check right away:

• ~94,208 logic cells (with 14,720 adaptive logic modules / slices) — solid fabric for building complex DSP chains, multi-channel filters, video codecs, FFT engines, or other signal-processing heavy designs
• 16 RocketIO GTX transceivers — these handle multi-gigabit serial reliably, typically up to ~6.5 Gbps in real deployments (great fits for 10Gb Ethernet, PCIe Gen1/2, Serial RapidIO, or custom high-speed data pipes)
• 640 user I/Os — plenty of flexible pins for external DDR2/3 memory controllers, fast ADCs/DACs, or system interconnects
• Embedded block RAM around 8.8 Mbit (plus ~1.5 Mbit distributed RAM for quick-access buffers and small FIFOs)
• Strong DSP48E slice count (around 488) — those second-gen 25×18 multipliers with 48-bit accumulators shine in high-throughput fixed- or floating-point math, FIR/IIR filters, and arithmetic-intensive workloads
• Paket: 1136-pin FFG (flip-chip BGA, ~35 × 35 mm), commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C junction)
• -2 speed grade — delivers excellent timing performance and good closure headroom while managing power better than the top -3 options in many DSP/SerDes scenarios

The SXT platform is DSP-first with fast transceivers — it puts emphasis on those DSP48E blocks and GTX ports rather than embedded processors (no PowerPC; that’s FXT turf) or max plain logic density (that’s more LX/LXT).
