EX256-FTQ100

The EX256-FTQ100 from Microchip Technology is a commercial-grade FPGA IC designed for compact, low-voltage programmable logic applications. It provides 512 logic elements and approximately 12,000 gates in a 100-lead LQFP surface-mount package with 81 user I/O pins, making it suitable for space-constrained embedded designs.

With a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range and an operating temperature window of 0 °C to 70 °C, this device targets commercial electronic applications that require configurable digital logic, flexible I/O count, and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  512 logic elements providing approximately 12,000 gates for small to medium-scale custom digital functions.
• I/O Count  81 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and signal routing on compact PCBs.
• Power  Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range to align with common low-voltage system rails.
• Package & Mounting  100-LQFP package in a surface-mount form factor; supplier lists as 100-TQFP (14×14) for footprint considerations.
• Grade & Temperature  Commercial grade device specified for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for typical commercial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to meet common environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Implement custom control and glue logic in compact consumer or industrial-facing products within the commercial temperature range.
• Peripheral and Interface Bridging  Use the 81 I/O pins to adapt and route signals between sensors, controllers, and buses in space-limited designs.
• User Interface Control  Provide programmable logic for panels, displays, and button matrices where moderate logic capacity and I/O flexibility are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, surface-mount package: 100-LQFP/100-TQFP footprint enables high-density board layouts and simplified assembly.
• Balanced logic and gate count: 512 logic elements and ~12,000 gates support a broad set of small to mid-scale programmable functions without excess overhead.
• Generous I/O availability: 81 user I/Os allow direct connections to numerous peripherals and interfaces, reducing external glue logic.
• Low-voltage operation: 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply compatibility for integration with common low-voltage systems and power domains.
• Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation for mainstream consumer and commercial product deployments.
• RoHS compliant: Ready for environmentally conscious manufacturing and global product distribution.
