• Logic Capacity 2,560 logic elements providing up to 162,000 system gates for implementing combinatorial and sequential designs.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM and ESB support for FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM and content-addressable memory (CAM) implementations.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 92 user I/Os with MultiVolt I/O interface support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V) and programmable I/O features such as output slew-rate control and programmable clamps.
• Clock Management Flexible clock resources including multiple PLLs, up to eight global clock signals, and programmable clock features for phase/delay adjustment and clock multiplication/division.
• Package and Mounting Surface-mount 144‑LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 144‑TQFP 20×20) for board-level integration.
• Power and Environmental Low-power design with an internal supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V; RoHS compliant and specified for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Test & Configuration On-chip JTAG boundary-scan circuitry for device test and in-system programming.

Typical Applications

• Memory interface controllers — Use ESBs and high-speed I/O support to implement DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM interface logic and buffering.
• System glue and protocol bridging — MultiVolt I/O and programmable I/O features enable interfacing between different voltage domains and peripheral buses, including PCI‑compliant operation for 3.3 V systems.
• Embedded control and logic — 2,560 logic elements and on-chip RAM are suited for control logic, state machines, and local data buffering in embedded systems.
• High-speed serial and parallel I/O — LVDS-capable signaling and programmable output characteristics support designs with high-speed channel requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated MultiCore design: Combines LUTs, product-term logic and ESBs to implement mixed register- and memory-intensive functions without external components.
• Compact, production-ready package: 144‑LQFP surface-mount package simplifies board assembly and keeps overall BOM count low.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O compatibility facilitates interfacing with a wide range of legacy and modern peripherals.
• On-chip memory primitives: ESBs provide targeted building blocks for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM, reducing the need for external memory in many designs.
• Clocking versatility: Multiple PLLs and programmable clock features enable precise clock management and low-skew distribution for complex timing requirements.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliant: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial deployments.
