Flexibility
In Virtex-II Pro devices, changing of attributes requires partial reconfiguration. Virtex-4
and Virtex-5 devices allow all attribute changes from the DRP, and any default values can
be set in the HDL itself.

Power Supply Filtering
The Virtex-5 GTP transceivers simplify power supply design over previous generations in
two ways:
1. Only two supply voltages are needed to power the transceivers.
2. Because the two transceivers that share a tile have common power pins, the number of
power supply filtering components is reduced.
Table A-7 shows the power pin voltages for all Virtex families, and Figure A-3 shows the
power supply filtering for all Virtex families.
