The XC5VLX50-1FF676C from Xilinx is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for high-performance logic, signal processing and embedded control. If you're maintaining or building equipment that needs dense, reprogrammable logic on an established Virtex-5 platform, this part is a dependable choice.
This device is part of the Xilinx Virtex-5 LX family (Xilinx is now part of AMD), built on a 65 nm process with a 1.0 V core. It comes in a 676-ball flip-chip fine-pitch BGA (FF676) with a -1 speed grade and a commercial temperature rating.
Key Features of the XC5VLX50-1FF676C
High-density programmable logic
The LX50 provides 46,080 logic cells across 7,200 slices, built on Virtex-5's 6-input LUT architecture. That gives you room for complex control, protocol and data-path logic in a single device.
On-chip memory and DSP resources
It includes 1,728 Kb of block RAM and 48 DSP48E slices for multiply-accumulate and filtering functions. This suits designs that need buffering and arithmetic performance without external memory for every task.
Flexible clock management
Six clock management tiles, each combining digital clock managers and a PLL, handle clock synthesis, de-skew and phase control. This simplifies multi-clock designs and timing closure.
Versatile SelectIO interfaces
The FF676 package delivers 440 user I/Os supporting a wide range of single-ended and differential standards, including LVDS, LVCMOS, HSTL and SSTL. It interfaces readily with memory, ADCs, DACs and other logic.
27 × 27 mm BGA for dense PCB layouts
The 676-ball flip-chip BGA on a 1.0 mm pitch balances I/O count with board footprint. It is the exact part for boards designed around the XC5VLX50 in the FF676 package, so you can keep production running without a redesign.
Tin-lead package for leaded assembly
This is the standard FF676 package with tin-lead solder balls; the lead-free equivalent carries the FFG676 designation. It suits leaded assembly lines and applications operating under RoHS exemptions, such as defence, aerospace and certain industrial equipment.
