• Embedded Memory — Total embedded RAM of 73,728 bits (approximately 0.074 Mbits) suitable for FIFOs and on-chip buffering with family-level embedded FIFO control logic.
• I/O Resources — 317 user I/Os with support in the Axcelerator family for multiple I/O standards and high-speed differential interfaces; family benefits include LVDS-capable channels supporting up to 700 Mb/s.
• Performance — Family-level system performance ratings include 350+ MHz system performance and 500+ MHz internal performance, offering headroom for timing-critical paths.
• Power and Supply — Core voltage supply specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V for low-voltage operation.
• Package & Mounting — 484-ball BGA package (supplier package: 484-FPBGA, 23×23) designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Grade & Temperature — Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.
• System Resources — AX architecture features in-system diagnostic and debug capability and embedded phase-locked loop resources (family-level PLLs with 14–200 MHz input range and frequency synthesis up to 1 GHz).
• Security & Nonvolatile Configuration — Antifuse, single-chip nonvolatile programming with FuseLock programming technology to protect design IP (family-level feature).

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Data Communications — 317 I/Os and Axcelerator family LVDS-capable interfaces support protocol bridging and serial link buffering for telecom and data-path designs.
• Embedded Packet Processing — The combination of 8,064 logic elements and on-chip SRAM/FIFO resources enables packet buffering, framing and custom packet-handling logic.
• Industrial Control & Automation (Commercial) — Deterministic timing, segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs make the device suitable for control, sequencing and interface aggregation in commercial automation equipment.
• Custom Interface & Protocol Conversion — Flexible, multi-standard I/Os and programmable drive/slew characteristics support mixed-voltage interfaces and bank-selectable I/O configurations for interface adaptation.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile, Antifuse-Based Configuration: Single-chip antifuse programming provides one-time programmable, nonvolatile configuration and inherent protection against configuration loss.
• IP Protection with FuseLock: Family-level FuseLock technology helps protect bitstream and design IP from reverse engineering.
• High Internal Performance: Family-specified internal performance above 500 MHz supports tight timing budgets and high-frequency internal logic.
• Flexible I/O Standards: Bank-selectable, mixed-voltage I/Os and support for multiple single-ended and differential standards enable broad interface compatibility.
• Integrated Timing Resources: Segmentable clocking and embedded PLLs with wide input range and frequency synthesis capability simplify clocking architectures and reduce external components.
• Compact BGA Package: 484-ball FPBGA (23×23) provides a high-pin-count solution in a surface-mount footprint for dense board-level implementations.
