XC5VFX200T-2FFG1738C

Bu XC5VFX200T-2FFG1738C is a top-tier FPGA from the Virtex-5 FXT family (Xilinx, now AMD), built on the solid 65nm process. It’s geared toward engineers who need massive programmable logic combined with a generous number of high-speed serial transceivers in a single chip.

Key specs that usually come up first in design reviews:

• ~196,608 logic cells — plenty of fabric for dense DSP blocks, intricate packet handling, large multi-protocol interfaces, or sophisticated control systems
• 24 RocketIO GTX transceivers — reliable multi-gigabit links, supporting real-world data rates up to ~6.5 Gbps (perfect for 10Gb Ethernet, PCIe Gen1/2, Serial RapidIO, or proprietary high-speed interconnects)
• 960 user I/Os — lots of flexible pins for DDR2/3 memory, fast ADCs/DACs, or board-level expansion
• Embedded block RAM around 16–17 Mbit (plus distributed RAM for quick-access buffers and small FIFOs)
• Hard PowerPC 440 processor blocks — excellent for embedded control, software acceleration, or hybrid hardware-software designs without an external processor
• Paket: 1738-pin FFG (flip-chip BGA, ~42.5 × 42.5 mm), commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C junction)
• -2 speed grade — offers strong clock performance and timing closure headroom while keeping power consumption more manageable than the fastest -3 bins

Design teams pick this one for demanding apps like telecom line cards, high-definition video/broadcast infrastructure, radar and signal-intelligence front-ends, advanced test & measurement systems, or anything requiring many fast SerDes ports alongside heavy logic density. The FXT variant stands out over LXT or SXT when transceiver count and embedded processors are must-haves.
