It integrates 38,400 logic elements (approximately 1,500,000 gates), 280 user I/Os and on-chip RAM, packaged in a compact 484-BGA surface-mount form factor.

Designed for commercial applications that require programmable logic integration, the device combines dense logic, embedded memory and a high I/O count with low-voltage operation to support a range of commercial embedded designs.

Key Features

• Core / Logic: 38,400 logic elements providing approximately 1,500,000 gates of programmable logic to implement complex digital functions.
• Embedded Memory: Total on-chip RAM of 276,480 bits, approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded memory for buffering, FIFOs and small data storage.
• I/O Capacity: 280 user I/Os to support broad interfacing needs and reduce external component count.
• Power: Nominal voltage supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V suitable for low-voltage system designs.
• Package & Mounting: 484-FPBGA (23 × 23) package, 484-BGA case, surface-mount mounting for dense PCB layouts.
• Operational Range: Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant to support environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems: Implements custom logic, peripheral integration and protocol handling in commercial electronic products.
• Communications Equipment (Commercial): Provides programmable logic and high I/O count for protocol adaptation and interface bridging in commercial comms gear.
• Control and Automation (Commercial): Enables custom control logic, motor or process interfacing and system coordination within commercial automation equipment.
• Prototyping and Low-to-Medium Volume Production: Suits development and production runs where reprogrammability and integration reduce BOM and speed time-to-market.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 38,400 logic elements and approximately 1.5 million gates support complex, high-density logic implementations without immediate migration to larger devices.
• Integrated on-chip RAM: Approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded memory reduces the need for external memory in many buffering and state-storage applications.
• Extensive I/O count: 280 I/Os enable multiple external interfaces and simplify board-level integration by minimizing additional I/O expanders.
• Compact BGA package: 484-FPBGA (23×23) surface-mount package offers high pin density in a space-efficient footprint for compact PCB designs.
• Low-voltage operation: 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range aligns with modern low-voltage system rails.
• Commercial readiness and compliance: Commercial temperature rating (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance support mainstream product requirements.
