It provides 24,000 logic gates and 608 logic elements with up to 140 general-purpose I/O, designed for surface-mount assembly and commercial embedded applications.

With a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.25 V, RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, this device is suited to designers seeking a compact, programmable logic solution in a 28 × 28 mm PQFP footprint.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements provide a mid-density programmable fabric for control, glue-logic and interfacing tasks.
• I/O Density — 140 I/O pins support extensive external device interfacing and parallel connectivity in a single-package solution.
• Memory — No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), enabling predictable external memory planning where required.
• Power — Wide supply compatibility with a voltage range from 3 V to 5.25 V to match common system rails.
• Package & Mounting — Supplied in a 208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208‑PQFP, 28×28 mm) for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial temperature rating from 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial environments.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant for environmental and lead-free manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Programmable logic for control and interfacing tasks within commercial electronic products operating within 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Peripheral and I/O Aggregation — Consolidation of multiple I/O functions using 140 available I/O pins to simplify board-level design.
• Glue Logic and Protocol Bridging — Implement custom glue logic and protocol adaptation where 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements meet moderate logic requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 24,000 gates and 608 logic elements offer a mid-range capacity suitable for many commercial programmable tasks without excessive area or power.
