• Performance & Timing  Internal performance up to 250 MHz, deterministic user-controllable timing, individual output slew rate control and 66 MHz PCI compliance for interface designs.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution  Nonvolatile configuration eliminates the need for external configuration memory and supports power-up/down friendly operation with no supply sequencing required.
• Automotive Qualification & Environmental  Automotive-grade device with AEC-Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
• Supply & Package  Wide supply range from 2.25 V to 5.25 V, available in a 484-ball BGA (484-FPBGA, 27×27) surface-mount package; RoHS compliant.
• Security & Testability  Secure Programming Technology (FuseLock™) to protect design IP and boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG).
• Diagnostics & Utilization  In-system diagnostic and verification capability (Silicon Explorer II) with support for up to 100% resource utilization and 100% pin locking.
• Clocking  Multiple global clocks (3) and quadrant clocks (4) to support partitioned timing domains and complex synchronous designs.
• Embedded Memory  No on-chip RAM bits (total RAM bits = 0), for designs that rely on logic and flip-flop resources or external memory.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control systems  Automotive-grade qualification and extended temperature range make the device suitable for in-vehicle logic, interface and control functions that require deterministic timing and high I/O counts.
• High-density I/O bridging  Use where large numbers of configurable I/Os are needed to aggregate, translate or route signals between subsystems supporting multiple I/O voltage standards.
• Embedded nonvolatile logic  Single-chip nonvolatile FPGA implementation for systems that benefit from on-chip configuration without external memory and simplified power sequencing.
• PCI-compliant interface logic  Designs requiring PCI compatibility at up to 66 MHz can leverage the device’s configurable I/O and timing control for host or peripheral interface functions.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-grade, AEC-Q100 qualified: Ensures the device meets automotive qualification standards and operates across -40°C to 125°C for robust field use.
• High logic density with extensive I/O: Approximately 108,000 system gates and 360 user I/Os enable complex functions and high-pin-count interfacing in a single FPGA.
• Nonvolatile, power-friendly operation: Nonvolatile configuration with no supply sequencing required simplifies power architecture and system start-up behavior.
• Flexible mixed-voltage I/O: Configurable I/O standards and wide supply range (2.25 V–5.25 V) reduce the need for external level shifters and simplify integration.
• Built-in security and test support: FuseLock™ programming protection combined with IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan enables secure production testing and IP protection.
• Deterministic timing and diagnostics: User-controllable timing, multiple clock domains and in-system diagnostic tools help reduce design risk and speed validation.
