XC4VSX55-10FFG1148C

XC4VSX55-10FFG1148C is a Xilinx Virtex-4 SX FPGA. It provides about 55K logic cells with DSP slices, Block RAM and rich I/O to support complex digital logic and signal-processing pipelines. The -10 denotes the speed grade (timing performance within the family). The device is housed in an FFG1148 package (1148-pin Fine-Pitch Grid Array), suitable for high-pin-count boards; the trailing C typically indicates commercial temperature range. Applications include high-end DSP, communications, video, and FPGA-based prototyping or embedded processing where dense logic and high I/O are needed. Development tools are the older Xilinx ISE/Vivado-compatible flows for Virtex-4. For exact BRAM, DSP slice counts, IO counts, and timing specs, consult the official datasheet.
