Key Features

• Core Capacity – 250,000 equivalent system gates with 4,224 logic elements to implement complex digital functions.
• Embedded Memory & FIFO – Approximately 55 kbits of total on-chip RAM with embedded FIFO control logic and variable-aspect RAM blocks for width-configurable read/write ports.
• I/O Density & Flexibility – 248 user I/Os arranged in up to 8 banks with bank-selectable, mixed-voltage operation (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) and support for differential and single-ended standards.
• High-Speed Interfaces – Support for high-speed differential I/O standards including LVDS and LVPECL; LVDS capable to 700 Mb/s as a family characteristic.
• Performance – Family-level system performance in excess of 350 MHz and internal performance over 500 MHz, supported by segmentable clocks and embedded PLLs (14–200 MHz input range, frequency synthesis capability up to 1 GHz).
• Security & Nonvolatile Programming – Antifuse, single-chip nonvolatile architecture with FuseLock programming technology to help protect design IP against reverse engineering.
• Package & Temperature – 484-FPBGA (23 × 23) surface-mount package, industrial-grade operation from −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant.
• Power – Core supply voltage range 1.425 V to 1.575 V (nominal 1.5 V) for low-power core operation.
• Design & Test Support – Deterministic timing, user-controllable timing resources, boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system diagnostic/debug capability with Microchip Silicon Explorer II (family feature).

Typical Applications

• High-speed data acquisition – Use embedded FIFOs, high-speed I/Os and PLLs to capture, buffer and forward high-rate data streams.
• Protocol bridging and interface conversion – Leverage mixed-voltage, bank-selectable I/Os and programmable IO characteristics to implement protocol bridges between different logic families and standards.
• Industrial control and automation – Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O capabilities make the device suitable for control logic, sensor interfacing and deterministic timing tasks.
• Embedded system logic – Implement system glue logic, state machines and peripheral controllers using the available logic elements and on-chip RAM.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, one-time programmable architecture: Antifuse technology provides a single-chip nonvolatile FPGA solution that eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• IP protection with FuseLock: Built-in programming protection mitigates the risk of reverse engineering and helps safeguard proprietary designs.
• Flexible mixed-voltage I/Os: Bank-selectable I/O voltages and programmable slew/drive options simplify interfacing to multiple logic families without additional level shifters.
• Deterministic timing and clocking: Segmentable clocks and programmable PLLs enable predictable, high-performance timing for synchronous designs.
• Integrated memory and FIFO control: On-chip RAM blocks with configurable widths and embedded FIFO logic reduce external RAM requirements and simplify buffering designs.
• Industrial temperature and RoHS compliance: Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant, supporting deployment in industrial environments.
