Key Features

• Core Logic  2,048 logic elements for implementing custom logic and control functions in a small FPGA footprint.
• Embedded Memory  81,920 total RAM bits (approximately 80 kbits) of on‑chip memory to support buffering, state storage and small data tables.
• Interfaces  Hardened SPI and I2C blocks plus up to 26 I/Os that can be used as dedicated interfaces or general‑purpose I/O for sensors and host processors.
• On‑Chip Oscillators & Clocking  Includes low‑frequency (10 kHz) and high‑frequency (48 MHz) on‑chip oscillators and flexible clock resources for always‑on and active modes.
• LED and IR Drive  Integrated RGB PWM with three 24 mA constant‑current outputs and a 500 mA IR LED driver for direct LED interfacing without external MOSFETs or buffers.
• DSP Capabilities  On‑chip DSP block supporting signed/unsigned 8‑bit and 16‑bit multiply, accumulate and MAC functions for sensor pre‑processing.
• Power and Supply  Operates from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply range and is built on a 40 nm ultra‑low power process optimized for low standby currents.
• Package & Mounting  36‑VFBGA (supplier device package: 36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm), surface mount for compact board designs.
• Temperature Grade  Industrial operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C for robust operation across a wide set of environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Smartphones & Mobile Devices  Always‑on sensor management, level shifting and pre‑processing tasks using on‑chip oscillators and low standby current.
• Tablets & Handheld Devices  Peripheral interfacing, RGB status LED control and sensor aggregation using integrated SPI/I2C and LED drivers.
• Industrial Handhelds & Commercial Devices  Compact programmable logic for sensor fusion, I/O expansion and control logic within industrial temperature ranges.
• Sensor Pre‑processing and Sensor Fusion  Use DSP resources and embedded memory to offload filtering and pre‑processing from the application processor.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated solution: Embedded memory, DSP, hardened SPI/I2C and LED/IR drivers reduce bill of materials and external components.
• Ultra‑low power operation: 40 nm low power process and low standby current characteristics enable always‑on and battery‑sensitive designs.
• Direct LED and IR drive: Three 24 mA RGB outputs and a 500 mA IR driver provide direct drive capability for status LEDs and IR functions.
• Compact package: 36‑UCFBGA (2.5 mm × 2.5 mm) surface‑mount package minimizes PCB area for space‑constrained products.
• Industrial temperature rating: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range supports demanding environmental conditions.
• Flexible I/O and clocking: 26 I/Os plus on‑chip oscillators and PLL/clock resources simplify timing and interface design.
