XC2V1000-5FG456I

The XC2V1000-5FG456I is a Virtex-II field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Xilinx, providing reconfigurable hardware logic for embedded processing and high-reliability digital systems. This device belongs to the mature Virtex-II family, delivering approximately one million system gates and 4,320 logic cells alongside dedicated 18×18-bit multiplier blocks and 720 Kbits of SelectRAM block memory. The -5 speed grade offers balanced performance within the family, while the industrial temperature designation ensures reliable operation across an ambient range of –40°C to +100°C. Housed in a 456-ball fine-pitch ball-grid array (FBGA) package, the device supports a substantial user I/O count within a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained board layouts.

Typical deployments include industrial motor drives, test and measurement instrumentation, defense communication terminals, and aerospace guidance modules, where sustained in-field reprogrammability and long lifecycle support are critical. Procurement teams should recognize that the Virtex-II series has reached end-of-life status and is no longer recommended for new designs by the manufacturer. Consequently, sourcing efforts must prioritize authorized, traceable channels to mitigate the risk of counterfeit or remarked devices. The industrial temperature grade provides an added robustness margin for challenging thermal environments, though engineers planning long-term sustainment should evaluate form, fit, and function alternatives early, as obsolescence can constrain availability and lead times for replacement stock.
