Virtex®-5 FPGAs are available in -3, -2, -1 speed grades, with -3 having the highest performance. Virtex-5 FPGA DC
and AC characteristics are specified for both commercial and industrial grades. Except the operating temperature
range or unless otherwise noted, all the DC and AC electrical parameters are the same for a particular speed
grade (that is, the timing characteristics of a -1 speed grade industrial device are the same as for a -1 speed grade
commercial device). However, only selected speed grades and/or devices might be available in the industrial range.
All supply voltage and junction temperature specifications are representative of worst-case conditions. The
parameters included are common to popular designs and typical applications.
