It delivers 1,728 logic elements and approximately 24,576 bits of embedded RAM paired with 176 user I/O pins, making it suitable for compact, reconfigurable logic and embedded-system integration.

Designed for industrial-grade applications, this device combines on-chip memory, a substantial I/O count, and reprogrammable logic capacity to support control, interface, and custom processing functions in a single programmable device.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  1,728 logic elements and 216 logic array blocks (LABs) provide reconfigurable logic resources for combinational and sequential designs.
• On-chip Memory  Approximately 24,576 bits of embedded RAM enable storage for FIFOs, small buffers, and state memory without external devices.
• I/O and Connectivity  176 user I/O pins support a broad range of external interfaces and parallel signals, enabling dense board-level integration.
• Package and Mounting  256-BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package optimizes board area while providing a robust ball-grid footprint for high-density designs.
• Industrial Grade and Temperature  Rated for industrial operation with an operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C for reliable performance in extended-temperature environments.
• Power Supply  Device supply specified at 2.375 V to 2.625 V to match target board power rails.
• Series-level Capabilities  FLEX 10K family features include embedded arrays for megafunctions, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE Std. 1149.1) for test and configuration, and architecture-level features such as dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant construction supports environmentally conscious designs and manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Reconfigurable logic and industrial temperature rating suit motor control, PLC subsystems, and factory automation interfaces requiring robust operation.
• Embedded Systems  Use as a programmable glue logic or subsystem controller to integrate custom peripherals, timing logic, and memory buffering within compact embedded platforms.
• Communication Interfaces  High I/O count allows implementation of parallel interfaces, protocol bridging, and custom bus logic for networking and telecom equipment.
• Prototyping and Product Development  The FPGA’s reprogrammability and on-chip RAM make it suitable for iterative hardware development, algorithm validation, and proof-of-concept designs.

Unique Advantages

• Reconfigurable Integration: Combines programmable logic and embedded RAM to reduce external component count and simplify system architecture.
