XC2VP30-5FF896I

The XC2VP30-5FF896I is a high-performance field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Xilinx's Virtex-II Pro family, supplied in an 896-ball flip-chip BGA (FCBGA) package and rated for the industrial temperature range. This device combines a dense logic fabric with embedded processing and multi-gigabit serial connectivity, characteristic of the Virtex-II Pro platform. The architecture integrates configurable logic blocks, block RAM, digital clock managers, and one or more embedded IBM PowerPC 405 processor cores for hardware-accelerated control and signal processing. Multi-gigabit RocketIO™ serial transceivers support protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, and Serial RapidIO, enabling high-bandwidth chip-to-chip and backplane communication. The -5 speed grade provides a balanced performance profile suitable for demanding embedded computing environments.

Typical applications span industrial automation, defense electronics, aerospace payloads, and medical imaging, where reconfigurable logic, processor integration, and long lifecycle management are essential. The device is commonly deployed in software-defined radio, radar and sonar processing, high-speed data acquisition, and real-time image processing platforms. As a mature component from a legacy FPGA family, the XC2VP30-5FF896I is primarily sourced for sustaining existing designs and extended-life programs rather than new development. The industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +100°C) ensures dependable operation in harsh thermal conditions without the lead time or cost of full military qualification. Procurement teams should verify availability, revision status, and obsolescence risk, as Virtex-II Pro devices require disciplined supply chain planning to support ongoing production and maintenance cycles.
