Key Features

• Core Logic  21,504 logic elements (cells) delivering approximately 600,000 equivalent gates for combinational and sequential logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM: 129,024 bits (approximately 0.13 Mbits) for register files, FIFOs, and small on-chip buffers.
• I/O Count  Up to 158 user I/Os to support multiple peripheral interfaces and external signaling.
• Package  208-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Power  Specified supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for core operation.
• Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 125 °C to support temperature-challenging deployments.
• Automotive Qualification  Grade: Automotive with AEC-Q100 qualification for applications requiring automotive-grade components.
• Mounting & Compliance  Surface-mount device with RoHS compliance for modern assembly and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Systems  In-vehicle electronic control units and domain controllers where AEC-Q100 qualification and −40 °C to 125 °C operation are required.
• Industrial Control  Embedded control and automation modules that benefit from high logic density, on-chip RAM, and a robust supply/temperature envelope.
• High-Reliability Embedded Designs  Systems needing a qualified, surface-mount FPGA with substantial I/O and logic capacity for custom hardware acceleration or glue logic.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Qualified Component: AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive grade designation support deployment in vehicle-level electronics.
• Substantial Logic Capacity: 21,504 logic elements and roughly 600,000 gates allow complex functions and medium-scale integration on a single device.
• Significant I/O Count: 158 I/Os enable flexible interfacing to sensors, actuators, and peripheral devices without extra I/O expanders.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −40 °C to 125 °C rating provides headroom for harsh-environment and temperature-variable applications.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP (28 × 28 mm) package balances pin density and board-level manufacturability for production volumes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports global assembly and environmental requirements.
