Key Features

• Logic Capacity Approximately 14,000 gates and 336 logic element cells provide mid-range programmable logic suitable for custom control and interface functions.
• I/O Count 101 user I/O pins enable dense peripheral and interface connectivity without external I/O expanders.
• Power Supports a broad voltage supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V, allowing compatibility with a variety of system power rails.
• Package and Mounting 160-BQFP (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board designs.
• Industrial Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C, suitable for industrial environments and temperature-variable installations.
• RoHS Compliance Device is RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free assembly and regulatory requirements for many markets.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — The industrial temperature rating and extensive I/O make the device suitable for motor control, PLC logic, and factory automation interfaces.
• I/O Bridging and Protocol Conversion — 101 I/O pins enable consolidation of multiple interface signals for protocol translation or signal aggregation tasks.
• Custom Logic and Gate-Level Functions — Mid-range gate count and logic elements support bespoke glue logic, timing control, and application-specific finite-state machines.
• Compact Board-Level Designs — The 160-BQFP surface-mount package supports dense PCB layouts where board space and component count are constrained.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible I/O Density: 101 user I/O pins provide direct connectivity to sensors, actuators, and peripheral devices, reducing external components.
• Mid-Range Logic Capacity: Approximately 14,000 gates and 336 logic element cells strike a balance between capability and cost for many control and interface designs.
• Wide Supply Voltage Support: Operation from 3 V to 5.5 V simplifies integration with varied system power rails and mixed-voltage environments.
• Industrial-Grade Operation: −40 °C to 85 °C temperature rating supports deployment in temperature-challenging industrial settings.
• Surface-Mount Package: 160-BQFP (28 × 28 mm PQFP footprint) enables compact, manufacturable PCB designs and automated assembly.
• RoHS-Compliant: Meets lead-free assembly requirements for environmentally conscious manufacturing and regional regulations.
