• Embedded Memory 24,576 bits of on-chip RAM to support small data buffers, state machines, and temporary storage for logic operations.
• I/O Count 92 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with external peripherals, sensors, and buses in a variety of compact system designs.
• Gate Density 113,000 gates of logic capacity for integrating multiple moderate-complexity functions into a single device.
• Power Low-voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V to match modern low-voltage system domains.
• Package & Mounting 144-LQFP surface-mount package (supplier package: 144-TQFP, 20×20 mm) for board-level assembly in space-constrained layouts.
• Operating Range Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C to suit standard commercial applications.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Logic Prototyping and Development Use the device for prototyping custom digital logic, proof-of-concept designs and FPGA-based development platforms where 1,200 logic elements and embedded RAM are sufficient.
• Control and Interface Functions Implement control state machines, protocol bridging, and peripheral interfaces using the available I/Os and on-chip logic resources.
• Compact Embedded Systems Integrate moderate-complexity logic and buffering into space-constrained, surface-mount board designs using the 144-LQFP package.
