XC2V500-5FG456I

The XC2V500-5FG456I is a Virtex®-II field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 456-ball BGA package. It delivers mid-range logic capacity, embedded memory, and a broad set of system I/O in a surface-mount, industrial-grade package suited for embedded and industrial applications.

Based on the Virtex-II platform architecture, this device combines configurable logic resources, dedicated arithmetic blocks and block RAM to support designs requiring flexible interface options, on-chip memory and deterministic clock management.

Key Features

• Configurable Logic: 6,912 logic elements (cells) organized across 768 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) to implement custom logic and control functions.
• Gate Equivalent: Approximately 500,000 gates suitable for mid-range FPGA designs requiring significant logic density.
• Embedded Memory: Approximately 0.59 Mbits of on-chip RAM (589,824 total RAM bits) for data buffering, FIFOs and small on-chip storage.
• I/O Capacity: 264 user I/O pins to support a variety of peripheral interfaces and external memory connections.
• Clocking and Arithmetic (Platform Capabilities): Virtex-II platform features such as dedicated 18-bit × 18-bit multiplier blocks and Digital Clock Manager (DCM) modules for frequency/phase control and clock de-skew are part of the platform architecture.
• Power and Supply: Core voltage supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, enabling defined core-power planning in system designs.
• Package & Mounting: 456-ball BGA (456-BBGA / supplier package 456-FBGA, 23×23) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
• Industrial Temperature: Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for use in industrial environments.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control: Implement motion-control logic, sensor aggregation and custom I/O handling using the device’s logic resources and 264 I/O pins.
• Communications & Networking: Use embedded memory and dedicated arithmetic blocks to implement packet buffering, protocol engines or custom data paths.
• Memory Interface Prototyping: Leverage the device’s I/O count and Virtex-II platform memory interface capabilities for SDR/DDR or SRAM interface development and validation.
• Embedded Processing & Glue Logic: Integrate peripheral interfaces, bus conversion and control tasks inside a single programmable device to reduce board-level BOM.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Range Capacity: 6,912 logic cells and roughly 500,000 gates provide a practical balance between logic density and cost for mid-sized designs.
• On-Chip Memory for Low-Latency Tasks: Nearly 0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for buffering and control functions.
• Robust I/O Count: 264 I/Os enable complex interfacing without immediate need for external I/O expanders.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: −40 °C to 100 °C operation supports deployment in harsh or temperature-variable environments.
• Compact BGA Package: 456-BBGA (23×23) keeps PCB footprint compact while supporting high pin-count routing.
• Standards-Friendly Platform Features: Built on the Virtex-II platform with documented block RAM, multipliers and clock management capabilities to accelerate design implementation.
