XC5VSX95T decoupling capacitor

I am a new FPGA circuit designer. In the 'Virtex-5 FPGA PCB Designer’s Guide'  datasheet,at the page of 18, there is a 'Discrete Substrate Capacitor Specifications' table. In the table, the recommended XC5VSX95T VCCINT  4.7U decoupling capacitor has the Body Size of  0805, and  the type is 8-Terminal Ceramic X7S. According to my understanding, the capacitor is a four capacitors array . What I do not understand is the Body Size, is it means the whole array's size is 0805, or each capacitor size in the array is 0805. I cannot find a 0805  capacitor array that the value is 4.7u.

Looking forward to reply.

Why is this of interest to you?  Table 2-12 describes capacitors which are internally mounted in the FPGA packages (substrates), if my reading is correct.

 

If you are interested in PCB-mounted capacitors for the XC5VSX95T, your interest should be focused on Table 2-3 and Table 2-11.

Summary:
1. Read the manual or user guide. Have you read the manual? Can you find the manual?
2. Search the forums (and search the web) for similar topics.
3. Do not post the same question on multiple forums.
4. Do not post a new topic or question on someone else's thread, start a new thread!
5. Students: Copying code is not the same as learning to design.
6 "It does not work" is not a question which can be answered. Provide useful details (with webpage, datasheet links, please).
7. You are not charged extra fees for comments in your code.
8. I am not paid for forum posts. If I write a good post, then I have been good for nothing.
