XC2V500-5FGG456C

The XC2V500-5FGG456C is a Virtex®-II platform field programmable gate array offered in a 456-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It delivers a balance of programmable logic, embedded memory, and I/O capacity for mid-range digital designs that require on-chip RAM, dedicated arithmetic resources, and flexible I/O.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, the device provides a comprehensive set of architecture features from the Virtex-II family—including dedicated multiplier blocks and clock management—that support complex custom logic, memory interfaces and signal processing tasks.

Key Features

• Logic Resources  768 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) providing a total of 6,912 logic elements (cells) for implementing custom logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.59 Mbits of on-chip RAM (589,824 bits) to support buffering, lookup tables and local data storage.
• Dedicated Arithmetic  Series-level support for 18-bit × 18-bit multiplier blocks for efficient implementation of DSP and arithmetic-intensive functions.
• I/O Capacity & Flexibility  264 user I/Os in a fine-pitch BGA package, enabling a wide range of external interfaces and parallel connections for memory and peripherals.
• Clock and Timing  Virtex-II platform clock-management features including Digital Clock Manager (DCM) modules for precise clocking and phase control (series capability).
• Power & Supply  Nominal core supply range from 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match system power rails and ensure stable core operation.
• Package & Mounting  456-ball fine-pitch BGA (456-BBGA / supplier package 456-FBGA 23×23) with surface-mount mounting for compact board implementations.
• Commercial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C (commercial grade).
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Bridge  Use the device’s I/O capacity and embedded memory to implement DRAM/SRAM interface logic, buffering and protocol bridging.
• Signal Processing and DSP Acceleration  Leverage the dedicated multiplier blocks and internal RAM for filtering, transforms and arithmetic-accelerated datapaths.
• Custom Logic and Control  Implement glue logic, state machines and control systems where a reprogrammable, on-board logic fabric is required.
• Prototyping and System Integration  Fast iteration of system-level functions and integration of multiple digital subsystems onto a single FPGA device.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  768 CLBs and roughly 0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a mix of resources suitable for mid-density designs without external memory dependence.
• Built-in Arithmetic Support:  Dedicated 18×18 multiplier capability reduces the need for resource-heavy multiplier implementations in logic, improving performance for DSP tasks.
• Flexible I/O Count:  264 user I/Os in a compact BGA package enable multiple parallel interfaces and direct connections to peripherals or memory devices.
• Commercial Operating Range:  Specified operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance ease integration into commercial products and assemblies.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package:  The 456-ball FBGA (23×23) package supports high pin-count routing in space-constrained board layouts.
• Platform Toolchain Support:  The Virtex-II family is supported by established development systems for HDL-based design and implementation (series-level tool support noted in the datasheet).
