• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Nonvolatile configuration in a single chip simplifies system design by eliminating separate configuration memory.
• Security and Test Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) for protection against reverse engineering and supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) for board-level test and debug.
• Diagnostics and Tool Support In-system diagnostic and verification capability is available with Silicon Explorer II for field test and validation.
• Packaging and Temperature Supplied in a 208-BFQFP package case with a military operating temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C and a military-grade designation.
• On-Chip Memory No embedded RAM bits are reported for this device.

Typical Applications

• Military and Aerospace Systems Military-grade temperature range and security features make this FPGA suitable for rugged, mission-critical control and signal-processing tasks.
• PCI-Based Embedded Systems 66 MHz PCI compliance and multi-voltage I/O support make the device suitable for PCI endpoint, bridge or peripheral interface functions.
• Mixed-Voltage Interface and Glue Logic High I/O count and configurable I/O standards simplify integration between 5 V legacy logic and modern 2.5 V/3.3 V domains.
• In-System Test and Field Diagnostics Boundary-scan and in-system diagnostic support enable production test, field diagnostics and verification workflows.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Programmable Capacity: 48,000 system gates and 2,880 logic elements deliver the resource density needed to consolidate many discrete functions into a single device, reducing BOM and board area.
• Versatile I/O Support: 174 user I/Os with configurable voltage standards and 5 V tolerance enable direct interfacing to a wide range of legacy and modern peripherals.
• Designed for Harsh Environments: Military-grade classification and an operating range of -55 °C to 125 °C support deployments in extreme temperature conditions.
• Secure, Nonvolatile Configuration: Single-chip nonvolatile operation plus FuseLock™ programming technology reduce configuration complexity while protecting IP.
• Built-In Testability: IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and Silicon Explorer II diagnostics streamline manufacturing test and in-field validation.
• Wide Supply Range and Power-Friendliness: 2.25 V to 5.25 V supply tolerance and power-up/power-down friendly behavior simplify power sequencing across mixed-voltage systems.
