ORT42G5-2BMN484I

The ORT42G5-2BMN484I is an ORCA® Series 4 reconfigurable FPGA with integrated high-speed SERDES transceivers designed for backplane and board-level serial data links. It combines 10,368 logic elements with multi-gigabit transceiver capability and embedded memory to support protocols such as XAUI, Fibre Channel and other high-speed serial interfaces.

Targeted at industrial applications, the device delivers a compact 484-BBGA footprint, 204 user I/O, and an operating range from -40 °C to 85 °C, with a flexible supply range from 1.425 V to 3.6 V for system-level power design considerations.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  10,368 logic elements (cells) and 1,296 PFUs enable complex programmable logic designs.
• High-Speed SERDES  Four SERDES channels supporting per-channel data rates up to 3.7 Gbps with built-in Rx clock and data recovery (CDR) and transmitter preemphasis for reliable backplane links.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 113,664 bits of on-chip RAM available for buffering, FIFOs and embedded cores.
• I/O and Gate Count  204 user I/O pins and an FPGA system gate count up to 643,000 gates for mixed logic and interface functions.
• Protocol Support  Integrated support for XAUI and Fibre Channel functions including 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machines as described in the ORCA family documentation.
• Package and Mounting  484-BBGA package (supplier device package: 484-FPBGA, 23 × 23) for surface-mount assembly in space-constrained designs.
• Industrial Grade Temperature  Specified for -40 °C to 85 °C operation to meet industrial-environment requirements.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Backplane Data Links  High-speed board-to-board and backplane interconnects using the integrated multi-gigabit SERDES and clock recovery.
• 10 GbE XAUI Bridging  Implement XAUI interfaces and configurable backend logic for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
• Fibre Channel Interfaces  Support for Fibre Channel protocol functions with embedded 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machines.
• Multi-board System Synchronization  Clockless high-speed interfaces with CDR simplify clock domain crossing and reduce backplane signal count in multi-board systems.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated SERDES and FPGA Fabric: Combines multi-gigabit transceivers with 10,368 logic elements to reduce external components and simplify high-speed interface designs.
• Protocol-ready Building Blocks: On-chip support for 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machines accelerates implementation of Ethernet and Fibre Channel links.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 484-BBGA (23 × 23) package enables dense board layouts while providing 204 user I/O pins.
• Industrial Temperature Range: Ratings from -40 °C to 85 °C suit deployment in industrial environments.
• Flexible Power Options: Support for supply voltages from 1.425 V to 3.6 V allows integration into a variety of system power architectures.
• Standards-Oriented Throughput: SERDES channels capable of up to 3.7 Gbps enable high-bandwidth backplane links without external transceivers.
