Built on the Cyclone device architecture, this device targets applications that benefit from configurable logic, embedded RAM, multi-pin I/O and on-device clocking resources while operating within standard commercial temperature and supply ranges.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 5,980 logic elements for implementing custom logic, glue, and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.092 Mbits of on-chip RAM (92,160 total bits) for local buffering and state storage.
• I/O Resources  Up to 185 user I/O pins to support parallel interfaces, sensor/actuator connections, and external device control.
• Clocking  Includes up to two PLLs as provided in the Cyclone family for clock multiplication and phase control.
• Package & Mounting  256-BGA (supplier package: 256-FBGA 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB designs.
• Power  Operates from a core supply in the range 1.425 V to 1.575 V, enabling low-voltage system architectures.
• Temperature Grade  Commercial operating range from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard embedded and electronics applications.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant device meeting lead-free environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data-path Processing  Implement custom datapath logic, packet processing, or protocol handling using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Memory Interfaces  Support for external memory interfaces and buffering tasks that benefit from internal RAM and clocking resources.
• High-density I/O Control  Drive and monitor numerous parallel signals or peripherals with the device’s 185 user I/O pins in space-constrained designs.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic  Replace multiple discrete components by consolidating control, bus bridging, and timing functions into programmable logic.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Combines approximately 5,980 logic elements with ~92,160 bits of embedded RAM to support mixed logic and buffering requirements.
• Flexible I/O Count: 185 user I/O pins provide ample connectivity for parallel interfaces, sensor arrays, and external peripherals.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 256-FBGA (17×17) delivers a space-efficient footprint for PCB designs that require high pin density.
• On-Device Clocking: Up to two PLLs enable local clock generation and phase management for synchronous designs.
• Low-Voltage Core: Core supply range of 1.425–1.575 V supports modern low-voltage system architectures.
• Commercial Availability: Commercial temperature grade and RoHS compliance make the device suitable for standard embedded and consumer electronics applications.
