• Clocking & PLLs  Segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs with a 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis capabilities up to 1 GHz for robust clock management.
• Security & Diagnostics  Nonvolatile antifuse programming with FuseLock™ protection against reverse engineering, plus in-system diagnostic and debug capability via Microchip Silicon Explorer II and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing.
• Power & Temperature  1.425 V to 1.575 V core supply and industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Package & Mounting  484-FPBGA (23 × 23) package, surface-mount mounting for PCB-level integration.
• Standards & Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing and programmable I/O features including programmable slew rate, drive strength and input pull circuits.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data aggregation  Uses LVDS-capable I/Os and embedded FIFOs to buffer and aggregate high-throughput serial data streams.
• Communications infrastructure  Embedded PLLs with frequency synthesis and flexible I/O standards support interface bridging and timing-sensitive link designs.
• Industrial control and automation  Industrial-grade temperature range and deterministic timing make the device suitable for control logic, motor control interfaces and sensor aggregation.
• Test & measurement systems  On-chip memory, programmable FIFOs and in-system diagnostic features enable reliable data capture and debug in measurement equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip, nonvolatile solution: Antifuse programming delivers a one-time programmable, nonvolatile FPGA fabric that simplifies system power-up and configuration.
• Deterministic and user-controllable timing: Architecture features provide predictable timing behavior beneficial for real-time and latency-sensitive designs.
• Flexible, multi-standard I/Os: Bank-selectable I/O voltages and support for numerous single-ended and differential standards reduce external transceiver requirements.
• Integrated clocking and frequency synthesis: Embedded PLLs and segmentable clocks enable complex clock domains and synthesized frequencies up to 1 GHz.
• Embedded memory with FIFO control: Variable-aspect RAM blocks and programmable FIFO logic simplify buffering and data width adaptation on-chip.
• Design security and debug: FuseLock programming protects design IP while Silicon Explorer II and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support enable in-system diagnostics.
