XC2V500-5FGG456I

The XC2V500-5FGG456I is a Virtex®-II field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 456-ball BGA package designed for industrial applications. It combines a mid-range logic capacity with substantial embedded RAM and a broad I/O complement to support complex control, interface, and data-processing functions.

Built on the Virtex-II platform, this device targets applications that require flexible hardware programmability, moderate gate density, and extended temperature operation. Key value propositions include measurable logic resources, abundant on-chip memory, and a 23×23 fine-pitch BGA footprint for high-density board designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,912 logic elements and 768 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) provide programmable resources for control, state machines, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.59 Mbits (589,824 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, FIFOs, and local data storage.
• I/O — 264 user I/Os enable wide-ranging external interfaces and parallel connectivity for peripherals and memory devices.
• Package & Mounting — 456-BBGA (supplier package: 456-FBGA, 23×23) surface-mount package that supports dense PCB integration.
• Voltage & Power — Core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match system power rails and regulator designs.
• Thermal & Reliability — Industrial operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Device Scale — Approximately 500,000 system gates for moderate-complexity FPGA designs.
• Standards & Compliance — RoHS-compliant material composition.
• Virtex-II Platform Technologies — Series-level architecture includes SelectRAM™ block RAM resources (18-Kb blocks), dedicated 18×18 multipliers, and digital clock management features described in the Virtex®-II documentation.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement machine control logic, custom state machines, and deterministic I/O handling across wide temperature ranges.
• Data Acquisition & Buffering — Use embedded RAM and abundant I/O to capture, buffer, and pre-process sensor or instrumentation data before transfer to a host.
• Interface Bridging — Act as a programmable bridge between parallel and serial peripherals or as a glue-logic replacement to consolidate discrete ICs.
• Custom DSP & Arithmetic — Leverage on-chip multipliers and logic elements for fixed-point signal processing and arithmetic-accelerated functions.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic & Memory Balance: 6,912 logic elements combined with ~0.59 Mbits of RAM supports mixed control and data buffering workloads without external SRAM for many designs.
• High I/O Count: 264 user I/Os provide flexibility to connect to multiple peripherals, memory devices, and sensors simultaneously, reducing external interface components.
• Industrial Temperature Range: Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable operation in industrial and harsh-environment installations.
• Compact, High-Density Packaging: 456-BBGA (23×23) footprint enables high-density PCB layouts and minimizes board area for space-constrained systems.
• Platform-Level FPGA Features: The Virtex-II architecture brings block RAM, dedicated multipliers, and clock-management features—enabling designers to build timing-critical and memory-intensive functions on-chip.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant materials simplify regulatory and manufacturing considerations.
