Are Virtex-5 and Virtex-6 discontinued?

Every AMD discontinuation notice that touches Virtex-5 or Virtex-6: which parts, the last-order dates, and what AMD names as the replacement.

Updated 6 min readBased on AMD discontinuation notices

Short answer

Not as families. AMD has discontinued selected Virtex-5 and Virtex-6 device-package combinations in four notices. The latest, XCN23005, took final orders until 30 September 2024 for the Virtex-5 TX150T and TX240T and six Virtex-6 devices in listed packages, with no direct replacement.[1] Earlier notices withdrew single packages and replaced FFV parts with FFG.

A fifth notice, XCN11031 (2011), only renumbered special-order Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 part numbers when AMD moved their wafer production; the devices themselves did not change in form, fit or function.[5]

2024: XCN23005, selected devices with no replacement

AMD discontinued these device-packages “due to declining or zero run rate”. Final orders closed on 30 September 2024 (orders open from 31 August 2024 became non-cancellable, non-returnable), and final deliveries were due by 31 March 2025.[1] Every part in the notice is listed with no direct replacement.

2021: FFV packages replaced by FFG

XCN20011 withdrew FFV-package versions of selected Virtex-5 and Virtex-6 parts (along with 7-series FFV, FBV and SBV parts). AMD had moved its flip-chip parts to the lead-free FFG, FBG and SBG packages under the EU RoHS 2 directive, and states the packages are fully compatible, so each FFV part's replacement is the same part in FFG.[2] Final orders closed on 2 October 2021.

The XC5VLX110 FFG1760 replacements were withdrawn too

XCN20011 names XC5VLX110-1FFG1760I and XC5VLX110-2FFG1760I as replacements for the FFV1760 parts, but XCN20010, with the same dates, discontinued the XC5VLX110 in FF(G)1760 altogether.[3] For that device and package there is no current replacement.

2019–2021: two single packages withdrawn

Two notices withdrew one Virtex-5 package each, because the substrate supplier stopped making that package's substrate. Both apply to every speed and temperature grade in the package, and neither names a replacement:

  • XC5VLX110 in FF(G)1760: XCN20010, final orders 2 October 2021, final deliveries 2 April 2022.[3]
  • XC5VLX220T in FF(G)1136: XCN18021, final orders 6 August 2019, final deliveries 6 February 2020.[4]

The same devices in their other packages were not affected.

What to do if your part is listed

Check the exact package, not just the device

Every notice here withdraws device-package combinations. An XC6VLX760 in a package the notice doesn't list, or an XC5VLX110 outside FF(G)1760, is not covered by it.
  • FFV part: order the FFG version named in XCN20011. AMD states the packages are fully compatible.[2]
  • No direct replacement: an existing design stays in production on remaining stock. Moving to a current family is a new design, not a part swap.

Virtex-6 vs Virtex-7 compared sets the two families side by side, and the Virtex-6 and Virtex-5 family pages list every device and part number.

Frequently asked questions

Is Virtex-6 end of life?

Not as a family. AMD's notice XCN23005 discontinued six Virtex-6 devices in selected packages (XC6VLX365T, XC6VLX550T, XC6VLX760, XC6VHX255T, XC6VHX380T and XC6VHX565T), with last orders on 30 September 2024 and final shipments by 31 March 2025. Other Virtex-6 device-package combinations were not listed.

Is Virtex-5 end of life?

Not as a family. AMD has discontinued selected Virtex-5 device-packages: the XC5VTX150T and XC5VTX240T (XCN23005, 2024), the XC5VLX110 in the FF(G)1760 package (XCN20010, 2021), the XC5VLX220T in FF(G)1136 (XCN18021, 2019), and FFV-package versions replaced by FFG (XCN20011, 2021).

What replaces a discontinued Virtex-5 or Virtex-6 FFV part?

The same part in the FFG package. XCN20011 names the FFG part as the replacement for each FFV part, and AMD states the packages are fully compatible; FFG is the lead-free flip-chip package AMD moved to under RoHS 2.

Is there a replacement for the XC6VLX760 or XC5VTX150T?

AMD lists no direct replacement for any part in XCN23005, which covers both. Keeping an existing design in production means sourcing remaining stock; moving to a current family means a new design.
