• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.276 Mbits of on-chip RAM to implement FIFOs, small buffers, or memory-mapped logic.
• I/O Capacity 179 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with external peripherals, sensors, and logic domains.
• Package and Mounting 256-LBGA package (supplier: 256-FBGA, 17×17) designed for surface-mount assembly in space-constrained boards.
• Power and Operating Conditions Core supply operating range 970 mV to 1.03 V with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C (commercial grade).
• Environmental Compliance RoHS-compliant construction to meet common environmental and regulatory procurement requirements.
• Documentation Device handbook and datasheet detail operating conditions, DC characteristics, switching characteristics, I/O specifications, and power management guidance for system integration.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Provide customizable logic, glue logic, and protocol adaptation in consumer and commercial products.
• Prototyping and Development — Implement custom logic functions and iterate designs quickly during board bring-up and proof-of-concept phases.
• Communications Peripherals — Implement parallel interfaces, bus bridging, or control logic where moderate logic density and many I/Os are required.
• Custom Control and Interface Modules — Replace fixed-function ASICs with reprogrammable logic for evolving product requirements in commercial applications.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Capacity: 6,272 logic elements provide sufficient gate count for mid-range custom digital functions without excessive PCB footprint.
• Ample I/O: 179 I/Os enable direct connection to multiple external devices and interfaces, reducing the need for additional I/O expanders.
• Compact Package: 256-LBGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) offers a high-pin-count solution in a compact form factor for dense board designs.
• Commercial Temperature Range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C to match typical commercial product deployment environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing and procurement requirements.
