XC5VSX240T-1FF1738I
Virtex-5 SX DSP-Optimized FPGA
The XC5VSX240T-1FF1738I is a high-performance FPGA from the Virtex-5 SX family designed for applications that require intensive digital signal processing and high-bandwidth data handling. It combines large logic resources with dedicated DSP48E processing blocks, enabling engineers to implement complex algorithms directly in hardware.
Built using the Virtex-5 architecture, this device provides strong computational capability for systems where real-time processing and deterministic latency are critical. The FF1738 flip-chip BGA package offers a high number of I/O connections, making it suitable for advanced boards that interface with memory, high-speed converters, or network hardware.
With the -1 speed grade, the device delivers reliable performance for telecom infrastructure, embedded signal-processing equipment, and long-lifecycle industrial systems.
LXB Semicon supplies original FPGA components for global customers who require stable sourcing for both development projects and production systems.
What is XC5VSX240T-1FF1738I?
The XC5VSX240T-1FF1738I is a DSP-focused FPGA designed to accelerate mathematical processing tasks in hardware. It integrates specialized DSP48E slices that allow engineers to perform high-speed multiply-accumulate operations, filtering algorithms, and FFT calculations.
Because of these dedicated processing resources, the Virtex-5 SX family is widely used in systems where traditional processors would struggle to maintain real-time throughput.
Engineering Overview
In many hardware architectures, the XC5VSX240T-1FF1738I is positioned close to high-speed data sources. For example, it may sit between ADCs and CPUs in a signal acquisition system.
The FPGA handles the heavy computation—filtering, decoding, or modulation—before forwarding processed data to other system components. This approach significantly reduces system latency and increases overall throughput.
The large 1738-ball package also allows designers to connect multiple memory devices, communication buses, and peripheral interfaces within a single board design.
