XQ5VFX130T-1EF1738I

The XQ5VFX130T-1EF1738I is a radiation-tolerant field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from the Xilinx QPro Virtex-5 FX family, fabricated on a 65 nm process and packaged in a 1738-pin ceramic flip-chip BGA. This device combines a high-density logic fabric with embedded hard-IP resources including PowerPC 440 processor blocks, DSP48E slices for signal processing, and multi-gigabit RocketIO serial transceivers, providing substantial on-chip computing capability. It incorporates design features for single-event upset (SEU) reduction and total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance, making it suitable for systems that must maintain deterministic operation in charged-particle environments.

Typical applications encompass on-board processing for communications and earth-observation satellite payloads, command and data handling avionics in deep-space missions, and sensor processing elements in defense radar and electronic warfare platforms. The ceramic flip-chip package, combined with the industrial temperature rating designated by the “I” suffix, ensures mechanical robustness and reliable electrical performance over an extended thermal envelope. Procurement and lifecycle management require attention to export compliance under ITAR or EAR controls, project-tailored obsolescence planning as the Virtex-5 node is in its mature support phase, and extended lead times characteristic of high-reliability, radiation-qualified semiconductor devices.
