• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.11 Mbits (110,592 bits) of on-chip RAM for data buffering, state storage and small lookup tables.
• I/O Resources 158 user I/Os to support a wide range of external interfaces and peripheral connections.
• Gate Count 450,000 equivalent gates for planning integration density and partitioning of design functions.
• Power Defined supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for predictable power budgeting and system-level design.
• Package and Mounting 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) surface-mount package for board-level integration in compact form factors.
• Automotive Qualification & Temperature Range AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for operation from –40°C to 125°C for temperature-hardened deployment.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly and compliance-driven designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q100 qualification and –40°C to 125°C range make the device suitable for vehicle electronics that require programmable logic and moderate I/O counts.
• Custom Control and Interface Logic — Use the programmable logic and 158 I/Os to implement protocol bridging, interface conditioning and system glue logic.
• Embedded Systems with On-Chip Memory Needs — Integrated RAM supports buffering and small data storage requirements for embedded controllers and sensor aggregation.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q100 certification provides documented qualification for automotive development cycles and reliability expectations.
• Extended Operating Temperature: Rated from –40°C to 125°C to support designs exposed to wide thermal environments without additional cooling measures.
• Balanced Logic and Memory: 12,288 logic elements combined with approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM enables compact implementation of control, interfacing and small-data processing tasks.
• Ample I/O Count: 158 user I/Os allow flexible connectivity to sensors, actuators and peripherals without relying on external I/O expanders.
• Predictable Power Envelope: Narrow supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V helps simplify power-supply design and voltage monitoring in systems with tight specs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP (28×28 mm) offers a high-pin-count solution in a well-understood packaging footprint for PCB assembly.
