• I/O Capacity  278 user I/Os to accommodate multiple interfaces and peripherals in I/O-constrained designs.
• I/O Standards and Signal Integrity  Device family supports a wide range of I/O standards and adjustable I/O slew rates to help manage signal integrity across interfaces.
• Clock Management  Four PLLs per device with five outputs per PLL; PLLs are cascadable and dynamically reconfigurable for flexible clock synthesis and distribution.
• Low-Power Architecture  Based on a low-power process and power-aware design flow to reduce static power consumption for thermally constrained or battery-powered applications.
• Package and Mounting  484-FBGA (23×23) surface-mount package in a 484-BGA footprint for compact board integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and supplied in a commercial grade.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-volume, cost-sensitive products  Leverages the Cyclone III family’s low-power and cost-focused attributes for consumer and volume production designs.
• Portable and battery-powered systems  Low-power architecture suits thermally challenged or battery-operated devices that need extended operation.
• I/O-intensive systems  High I/O count supports sensor aggregation, protocol bridging, and multi-channel interfaces where board-level I/O is constrained.
• Embedded processing and custom peripherals  On-chip memory and logic density make the device suitable for integrating custom peripherals and soft-processor implementations.
