EX256-TQ100A

The EX256-TQ100A is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Microchip Technology designed for automotive-qualified embedded logic. It delivers 256 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and 512 logic elements in a 100-pin LQFP surface-mount package, offering flexible I/O and logic capacity for vehicle and other temperature-sensitive applications.

With AEC-Q100 qualification, a wide operating temperature range, and a compact 100-LQFP/100-TQFP (14×14) package, this device targets systems that require qualified components, moderate logic density, and robust I/O connectivity under automotive temperature conditions.

Key Features

• Logic Core 256 configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and 512 logic elements provide on-chip combinational and sequential logic resources for control and glue-logic implementations.
• Gate Capacity Approximately 12,000 gates of usable logic capacity to implement medium-complexity functions and state machines.
• I/O Count 81 general-purpose I/Os to support multiple peripheral interfaces and signal conditioning channels from a single device.
• Power Single supply operation from 2.3 V to 2.7 V, suitable for systems with mid-range core supply requirements.
• Package & Mounting 100-LQFP package (supplier device package: 100-TQFP, 14×14) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB space-efficiency and standard assembly processes.
• Automotive Qualification & Temperature Range Grade: Automotive with AEC-Q100 qualification and an operating temperature range of −40°C to 125°C for use in automotive environments.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant to meet lead-free and environmental sourcing requirements.

Typical Applications
