Key Features

• Core Logic — 250,000 equivalent system gates and 4,224 logic elements provide substantial combinatorial and sequential resources for complex logic integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 55 kbits of on-chip RAM (55,296 bits) with embedded FIFO control logic and configurable RAM block organizations for flexible data buffering and storage.
• I/O Density & Standards — 198 user I/Os supporting flexible multi-standard, bank-selectable operation and high-speed differential interfaces (series-level LVDS capability up to 700 Mb/s).
• Clocking & PLLs — Segmentable clock resources and on-chip PLLs with a documented input range supporting frequency synthesis to meet demanding timing and high-speed data requirements.
• Nonvolatile Antifuse Technology — Single-chip, nonvolatile antifuse programming technology manufactured on an advanced 0.15 μm CMOS antifuse process with seven metal layers; includes FuseLock protection for design security and reverse-engineering protection.
• Power & Supply — Core voltage supply range: 1.425 V to 1.575 V, supporting low-voltage core operation as specified.
• Package & Mounting — 352-BFCQFP with tie bar (supplier device package: 352-CQFP, 75 × 75 mm) in a surface-mount format for high-pin-count board designs.
• Operating Environment — Military-grade operation rated from −55 °C to 125 °C for use in thermally demanding and rugged environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Military and Rugged Systems — Military-grade temperature range and antifuse nonvolatile programming make the device suitable for defense electronics and rugged embedded controllers.
• Secure Communications — FuseLock programming and antifuse technology provide a higher level of design security for encryption, secure link processing and classified communications hardware.
• High-Speed Data Interfaces — High I/O count and differential I/O capability support LVDS-enabled serializer/deserializer interfaces and high-throughput data paths.
• Real-Time Signal Processing — Large logic and embedded FIFO resources combined with deterministic timing and PLL synthesis support signal processing tasks requiring predictable latency.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, One-Time Programmable Architecture: Antifuse-based single-chip programming eliminates the need for external configuration memory and provides permanent programming for secure deployments.
• Design Security with FuseLock: Built-in FuseLock technology protects against reverse engineering and design theft, preserving intellectual property.
• Deterministic Timing Controls: Segmentable clocks and on-chip PLLs enable user-controllable, deterministic timing suited to latency-sensitive designs.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 198 I/Os in a 352-pin CQFP package provide dense connectivity for board-level integration without sacrificing signal options.
• Rugged Temperature Range: Military-grade rating from −55 °C to 125 °C supports operation in harsh thermal environments.
• Embedded Memory and FIFO Support: On-chip RAM blocks with programmable FIFO control simplify buffering and dataflow management inside the FPGA fabric.
