EX256-TQG100

The EX256-TQG100 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for commercial embedded applications. It provides a compact, low-voltage programmable-logic solution with 512 logic elements and 81 general-purpose I/O pins, suitable for control, interface and glue-logic tasks in commercial designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  512 logic elements and approximately 12,000 equivalent gates to implement small-scale digital functions and control logic.
• Logic Array Structure  256 LABs/CLBs-equivalent grouping for organized logic placement and simpler partitioning of designs.
• I/O Count  81 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces, sensor connections and bus bridging in compact systems.
• Power  Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range, making it suitable for low-voltage commercial platforms.
• Package & Mounting  100-LQFP package (supplier package: 100-TQFP, 14×14 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for space-efficient PCB integration and automated assembly.
• Operating Range  Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C for typical office and consumer environments.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant for environmental and regulatory compatibility in standard commercial product builds.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Use the EX256-TQG100 to implement programmable control logic, custom I/O handling and state machines in commercial electronic products.
• I/O Expansion & Protocol Bridging  Deploy the FPGA to consolidate and translate signals between peripherals, improving subsystem integration without adding discrete logic chips.
• Prototyping & Development  A compact logic resource for early-stage prototyping of digital functions and proof-of-concept designs in commercial projects.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Logic Density:  512 logic elements and 12,000 gates provide a focused resource set for small to medium control and interface tasks.
• Generous I/O Count:  81 I/Os simplify board-level integration by supporting multiple peripherals and signals without external expanders.
• Low-Voltage Operation:  2.3 V to 2.7 V supply compatibility aligns with modern low-voltage commercial platforms and power rails.
• Surface-Mount 100-LQFP Package:  A space-efficient, automated-assembly–friendly package (14×14 mm supplier TQFP footprint) eases integration into compact PCBs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade:  Designed for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match typical commercial product environments.
• RoHS Compliant:  Meets common environmental compliance expectations for commercial manufacturing.
