• Embedded Memory  Approximately 20,480 bits of total RAM available in embedded array blocks for on-chip storage and megafunctions.
• I/O and Connectivity  291 device I/O pins to support a variety of external interfaces and system connections; individual pin control options are supported at the family level.
• Supply Voltage  Operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V, matching 3.3 V system domains.
• Package and Mounting  484-ball BGA (484-FBGA, 23×23) surface-mount package optimized for compact board integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for commercial embedded equipment.
• Reconfiguration and Test  Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device, intelligent controller, or JTAG; family includes IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support.
• Family-Level System Features  FLEX 10K family capabilities include dedicated carry and cascade chains, low-skew clock distribution options (ClockLock/ClockBoost at the family level), and configurable output slew and open-drain options.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting common lead-free requirements for commercial products.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC  Implement system-on-a-programmable-chip architectures and megafunctions that combine logic and embedded RAM for custom system functions.
• Peripheral and Interface Logic  Use as custom peripheral controllers or interface glue logic where reconfigurable I/O and moderate logic density are required.
• Embedded Memory Functions  On-chip RAM blocks support buffer, lookup-table, and small data-storage tasks inside embedded designs.
• PCI and Bus-Based Designs  Applicable to PCI Local Bus (family-level support noted in FLEX 10K documentation) and other bus-interface logic implementations.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  Combines 2,880 logic elements with roughly 20,480 bits of embedded RAM, enabling compact implementations of control and data functions without external memory for many use cases.
• High I/O Count:  291 device I/Os provide flexibility to connect multiple peripherals, buses, and sensors directly to the FPGA package.
• Flexible Reconfiguration:  Supports in-circuit reconfiguration and JTAG boundary-scan for development flexibility, field updates, and test access.
• Compact BGA Packaging:  484-ball BGA (23×23) offers a small PCB footprint for space-constrained commercial products while maintaining high pin density.
• Commercial-Grade Specification:  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance for standard commercial applications and supply-chain requirements.
• Family-Level Design Features:  Leverages FLEX 10K family capabilities such as dedicated carry/cascade chains and clock distribution features to simplify arithmetic and timing-critical designs.
