ORT42G5-2BMN484C

The ORT42G5-2BMN484C is an ORCA® Series 4 FPGA-class FPSC designed for high‑speed serial backplane data transmission and board-level interconnects. It combines a reconfigurable embedded system-on-a-chip architecture with multi‑channel SERDES transceivers and FPGA fabric to support applications such as XAUI, Fibre Channel and other high‑speed serial interfaces.

This device delivers a balance of logic density, on‑chip memory and I/O count in a compact 484‑BBGA package, with a commercial operating range and RoHS compliance for standard electronic system designs.

Key Features

• FPGA Logic Density — 10,368 logic elements providing programmable logic capacity for custom protocol handling and data path functions.
• Embedded Memory — 113,664 bits of on‑chip RAM (approximately 0.114 Mbits) available to implement FIFOs, buffering and small lookup tables directly in device fabric.
• High‑Speed SERDES — Multi‑channel SERDES transceivers supporting channel speeds up to 3.7 Gbps and designed for backplane operation, with built‑in Rx clock and data recovery and transmitter preemphasis as described in the ORCA family datasheet.
• Protocol Support — Built‑in 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machine capability for implementations such as XAUI and Fibre Channel as documented for the ORCA ORT42G5 family.
• I/O Capacity — 204 user I/O pins to interface with external logic, PHYs and board-level peripherals.
• Power and Mounting — Wide supply support from 1.425 V to 3.6 V and surface-mount 484‑BBGA (484‑FPBGA, 23×23) package for compact board integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Specified operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial applications.
• Standards Compliance — RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment in typical electronics supply chains.

Typical Applications

• Backplane Networking — Implement high‑speed serial backplane links and multi‑channel interconnects using integrated SERDES and link management features.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet / XAUI — Implement XAUI interfaces and related 10 GbE back‑end functions leveraging embedded 8b/10b support and SERDES channels.
• Fibre Channel Systems — Use built‑in encoding/decoding and link state functions to accelerate Fibre Channel link implementations.
• High‑Speed Bus Bridging — Build bridges between high‑speed buses and on‑card logic, using the device’s FPGA fabric, memory and I/O resources for protocol translation and buffering.

Unique Advantages

• High‑speed serial capability: Up to 3.7 Gbps SERDES channels with Rx CDR and preemphasis enable reliable board and backplane links at multi‑Gbps rates.
• Balanced logic and memory: 10,368 logic elements combined with approximately 0.114 Mbits of on‑chip RAM supports complex protocol state machines and in‑fabric buffering without immediate external memory.
• Large I/O count: 204 user I/O pins give flexibility for interfacing multiple external devices, PHYs and control signals in dense system designs.
• Compact package: 484‑BBGA (23×23) ball grid arrangement provides a small footprint for high‑density board layouts while accommodating the device’s I/O and power requirements.
• Flexible power rails: Support for 1.425 V to 3.6 V supplies allows integration into a variety of system power architectures.
• Commercial deployment ready: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operating range and RoHS compliance for standard commercial electronics applications.
