• Performance and Timing — Family-level performance options include up to 250 MHz system performance and deterministic, user-controllable timing for reliable timing closure.
• Reliability and Diagnostics — Boundary-scan testing (IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) and in-system diagnostic and verification capability with Silicon Explorer II aid testability and fault isolation.
• Security — Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to protect design IP and reduce risk of reverse engineering.
• Power-Up/Hot-Swap Friendly — Power-up/power-down friendly operation with no required supply sequencing and hot-swap compliant I/Os; configurable weak pull-up or pull-down on I/Os at power-up and individual output slew rate control.
• Package and Mounting — 484‑ball fine-pitch BGA (484-FPBGA, 27 × 27 mm) in a surface-mount package suited to high-density board designs.
• Voltage and Temperature Range — Voltage supply range 2.25 V to 5.25 V; military temperature grade with operating range −55 °C to 125 °C.
• Standards Compliance — 66 MHz PCI‑compliant operation and up to 100% resource utilization with full pin locking for deterministic pin assignment.
• Manufacturing Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Defense and Aerospace Systems — Military temperature grade (−55 °C to 125 °C) and high gate count support compute-intensive, ruggedized applications in harsh environments.
• PCI-Based and Mixed-Voltage Embedded Systems — 66 MHz PCI compliance and configurable I/O levels enable integration into PCI and mixed-voltage platforms.
• High-Density I/O Control — Up to 360 user I/Os suits designs that require large numbers of external interfaces such as data-acquisition front ends and complex control panels.
• Secure and Testable Designs — FuseLock technology together with JTAG boundary-scan and on-board diagnostic support streamlines secure in-system verification and test.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 108,000 system gates and 6,036 logic elements enable consolidation of multiple functions into a single FPGA, reducing component count.
• Flexible, Mixed‑Voltage I/O: Configurable I/O supports multiple voltage standards and mixed-voltage operation, simplifying integration with diverse peripherals.
• Rugged Operating Range: Military-grade temperature rating (−55 °C to 125 °C) and wide supply range support deployment in demanding environments.
• Nonvolatile Single‑Chip Solution: On-device nonvolatile configuration removes the need for external configuration memory, improving system reliability and simplifying BOM.
• Built‑In Security and Testability: FuseLock secure programming plus IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and Silicon Explorer II diagnostics support IP protection and system bring-up.
• Design Determinism: Deterministic, user-controllable timing and full pin locking help achieve predictable timing behavior and repeatable hardware builds.
