It provides a compact balance of logic capacity and I/O count for embedded control, interface, and custom logic tasks.

Built in a 100-pin BQFP surface-mount package and rated for supply voltages from 3 V to 5.5 V, this device supports deployment across a wide range of industrial temperature conditions and board-level integration scenarios.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 608 logic elements (cells) and approximately 24,000 gates to implement custom combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O Integration — 83 general-purpose I/O pins to connect sensors, actuators, buses, and peripheral ICs without external multiplexing.
• Package and Mounting — 100-BQFP package (supplier device package: 100-PQFP, 20×14); surface-mount mounting type for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Voltage Flexibility — Wide supply range from 3 V to 5.5 V to accommodate different system power domains and legacy interfaces.
• Industrial Temperature Rating — Operating temperature from −40 °C to 85 °C, suitable for industrial environments.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant to meet common environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement custom control logic, I/O aggregation, and simple state machines for factory automation and process control systems.
• Embedded Interface Bridging — Provide protocol adaptation and parallel/serial interface glue logic using the device's available I/O and programmable logic.
• Sensor and Actuator Interfacing — Aggregate and preprocess signals from multiple sensors or drive actuator control logic leveraging the 83 I/O pins.
• Custom Logic Prototyping — Rapidly iterate hardware-accelerated functions in development platforms where a compact, industrial-grade FPGA is required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, High-Value Logic — 608 logic elements and ~24,000 gates deliver practical capacity for mid-range logic tasks while minimizing board footprint.
