Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates commercial temperature grade if required, though datasheets often list industrial ranges for this family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official AMD documentation. Ensure ESD precautions are followed during handling due to moisture sensitivity levels specified in the datasheet. Cross-reference the part number with current AMD product lifecycle notices to confirm availability status.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required for complex digital signal processing or protocol conversion tasks. The 1738-pin package accommodates extensive I/O requirements suitable for board-to-board connectivity. Consider thermal management solutions given the power consumption associated with high-frequency operation and large logic arrays in this form factor.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the AMD Virtex-5 LX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring substantial FPGA capacity. The LX series balances performance and price, targeting mid-range enterprise and industrial markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Virtex-5 devices but offers specific resource configurations optimized for general-purpose programmable logic needs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other Virtex-5 LX variants with different speed grades or temperature ratings, such as XC5VLX155T-1FFG1738I. Upgrades to newer families like Virtex-6 or Virtex-7 require redesign due to architectural differences and pinout changes.
