• I/O and Mixed‑Voltage Support — 171 user-programmable I/O pins with configurable I/O support for 3.3 V/5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2; 5 V input tolerance and 5 V drive strength are supported.
• Nonvolatile Single‑Chip Configuration — Single-chip, nonvolatile architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• Power and Reliability — Power-up/power-down friendly operation with no sequencing required for supply voltages, configurable weak pull-up or pull-down on I/O at power-up, and individual output slew rate control.
• Hot-Swap and Standards — Hot-swap compliant I/Os and 66 MHz PCI compliance for applicable interface implementations.
• Security and Test — Includes Actel Secure Programming Technology with FuseLock™ to protect design IP and supports boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG).
• Package and Mounting — 208‑pin BFQFP (supplier device package listed as 208‑PQFP, 28×28), surface-mount mounting suitable for standard commercial PCB assembly.
• Electrical and Environmental — Voltage supply range 2.25 V to 5.25 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Implement control logic and state machines where nonvolatile configuration and abundant logic resources are required for commercial devices.
• Interface Bridging — Use mixed-voltage, configurable I/Os and PCI-capable signaling to bridge and adapt between bus standards in I/O-dense systems.
• In-System Diagnostics and Test — Leverage boundary-scan (JTAG) support and in-system diagnostic capabilities for manufacturing test and validation.
• Secure Intellectual Property Protection — Deploy FuseLock™ secure programming to protect proprietary bitstreams in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, single‑chip solution: Eliminates external configuration memory, simplifying board-level BOM and reducing system complexity.
• Flexible mixed‑voltage I/O: Supports multiple I/O standards and 5 V tolerance, enabling direct interfacing with a wide range of legacy and modern peripherals.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 171 user I/Os in a 208-pin BFQFP provide dense connectivity without requiring larger packages.
• Secure programming: FuseLock™ technology helps protect design IP and mitigate reverse engineering risks.
• Power sequencing robustness: Power-up/power-down friendly operation avoids complex supply sequencing requirements during system design and deployment.
• Deterministic timing and control: Individual output slew control and configurable pull resistors provide predictable signal integrity and startup behavior.
