• I/O Flexibility 336 user I/Os with support for mixed-voltage operation and differential standards; family-level support for LVDS and 700 Mb/s capable I/Os, bank-selectable I/Os (8 banks), registered I/Os and programmable slew/drive settings.
• Performance Family-level system performance greater than 350 MHz and internal performance beyond 500 MHz, with segmentable clock resources and embedded PLLs for clock synthesis and distribution.
• Security & Programming Nonvolatile antifuse implementation with FuseLock™ programming technology to protect designs from reverse engineering and unauthorized copying.
• Power & Supply Core voltage operating range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for low-voltage core operation.
• Package & Mounting 676-ball fine BGA package (676-FBGA, 27 × 27) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for dense board-level integration.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial grade operation with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Telecom and Networking: Implement protocol offload, packet processing or custom interface bridging using large I/O counts and embedded FIFOs for data buffering.
• Industrial Control: Use deterministic timing, segmented clocks and flexible I/Os for motor control, machine automation logic and sensor aggregation.
• Data Acquisition & Processing: Integrate high-speed I/O and on-chip RAM/FIFO to build front-end data concentrators, preprocessors or buffering stages.
• Secure Embedded Logic: Deploy nonvolatile antifuse programming and FuseLock protection where IP protection and one-time programmable configuration are required.

Unique Advantages

• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and ensures immediate operation on power-up.
• Deterministic Timing: Segmentable clocks, embedded PLLs and user-controllable timing simplify timing closure for real-time and latency-sensitive designs.
• High I/O Integration: 336 user I/Os and bank-selectable mixed-voltage support reduce board-level complexity when interfacing multiple standards and devices.
• On-Chip Memory and FIFOs: Approximately 73.7 kbits of embedded RAM and programmable FIFO control reduce external memory requirements for streaming and buffering tasks.
• IP Protection: FuseLock programming technology provides protection against reverse engineering and design theft for secure applications.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: 676-FBGA (27 × 27) enables high-density PCB layouts while supporting robust board-level integration.
