Designed for commercial‑grade applications, this surface‑mount FPGA operates across a 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply window and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature range, and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,272 logic elements provide flexible programmable logic resources for custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.276 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (276,480 total RAM bits) for FIFOs, buffers, and small data storage.
• I/O Density — 179 user I/O pins to interface with external peripherals, sensors, and buses.
• Power — Core supply voltage defined at 1.15 V to 1.25 V for compatibility with low‑voltage system domains.
• Package and Mounting — 256‑lead LBGA package; supplier device package listed as 256‑FBGA (17×17). Surface mountable construction for standard PCB assembly.
• Operating Range — Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, matching the part's commercial grade classification.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant material and processing.
• Documentation — Supported by Cyclone IV device documentation covering operating conditions, DC characteristics, switching characteristics, I/O standards, and power consumption.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Programmable logic integration where a compact FPGA with moderate logic and RAM resources is required.
• Interface and Glue Logic — Use as a configurable bridge for custom I/O aggregation and protocol adaptation using available I/O pins and logic elements.
• Prototyping and System Development — Provides reconfigurable logic and on‑chip RAM for early development and hardware validation in commercial environments.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 6,272 logic elements combined with approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded RAM offers a pragmatic balance for mid‑range programmable designs.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package — 179 I/Os in a 256‑lead BGA footprint supports dense interfacing while keeping board area compact.
• Low‑Voltage Core Operation — Narrow core supply range (1.15 V–1.25 V) simplifies power‑rail planning for low‑voltage systems.
• Commercial Temperature Rating — Rated 0 °C to 85 °C to meet the needs of mainstream commercial product environments.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory compatibility.
• Standard Surface‑Mount Packaging — 256‑lead BGA/FBGA format supports standard assembly and high‑density PCB designs.
