• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution  Built as a nonvolatile FPGA, the device requires no external configuration memory for bitstream storage.
• Power and I/O Robustness  5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength on supported I/O standards; configurable weak pull-up or pull-down at power-up and individual output slew rate control.
• Supply and Temperature  Operates from 2.25 V to 5.25 V and is qualified for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 70 °C).
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 144-pin thin quad flat pack (surface-mount) package with supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP (20×20).
• System and Test Features  Hot-swap compliant I/Os, power-up/power-down friendly operation (no sequencing required), and boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG).
• In-System Diagnostics and Security  Unique in-system diagnostic and verification capability via Silicon Explorer II and Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to help protect designs from reverse engineering.
• Resource Utilization and Timing Control  Support for up to 100% resource utilization, 100% pin locking and deterministic, user-controllable timing for predictable system behavior.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• PCI-based interfaces  Implement 66 MHz PCI-compliant logic, bridging and peripheral control where mixed 3.3 V/5 V signaling is required.
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging  Use configurable I/O standards and 5 V tolerance to connect legacy 5 V devices with modern 2.5/3.3 V logic domains.
• Boundary-scan and in-system verification  Leverage IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and Silicon Explorer II diagnostics for board-level test and in-system debugging.
• Commercial embedded logic  Deploy as compact, nonvolatile programmable logic for control, interface glue and peripheral functions in commercial electronic products.

Unique Advantages

• Compact programmable capacity: 12,000 system gates and 768 logic elements deliver usable logic resources in a small 144-pin package to reduce board area and BOM complexity.
• Nonvolatile single-chip design: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory, simplifying power-up behavior and system architecture.
• Flexible mixed-voltage I/O: Configurable I/O standards with 5 V tolerance and drive simplify interfacing to multiple voltage domains without level-shifter components.
• Deterministic timing control: User-controllable timing and support for high internal clock rates aid predictable timing closure for critical interfaces.
• Built-in testability and security: Boundary-scan support, in-system diagnostics and FuseLock programming reduce risk during test and help protect IP.
• Wide supply range and commercial suitability: 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply operation and RoHS compliance support a range of commercial designs and manufacturing requirements.
