XC2VP30-6FF896C

The XC2VP30-6FF896C is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Xilinx’s Virtex-II Pro family, combining reconfigurable logic with embedded processing and high-speed serial connectivity. The device features integrated 32-bit PowerPC 405 processor hard cores and multi-gigabit RocketIO transceivers capable of data rates up to 3.125 Gbps, housed in an 896-ball flip-chip BGA package (FF896). The -6 speed grade and commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C) define its timing and environmental operating envelope. This platform architecture enables partial reconfiguration and hardware/software co-design, supported by the mature ISE design tool suite.

Typical applications span embedded computing, industrial automation, defense electronics, and telecommunications infrastructure where on-chip processing reduces board space and latency. The device frequently serves as a control-plane processor, protocol bridge, or signal processing node in legacy line cards, software-defined radio front ends, and aerospace payload controllers. From a procurement standpoint, the Virtex-II Pro family is no longer in active production; units available today are typically from end-of-life stock or authorized aftermarket channels. Designers maintaining long-lifecycle programs must assess obsolescence risk and validate traceability carefully. The commercial temperature grade limits deployment to controlled environments, distinguishing this variant from extended-temperature or military-qualified alternatives.
