• High-Speed SERDES — Embedded SERDES supporting 150 Mbps to 3.2 Gbps for generic 8b10b/10-bit/8-bit modes and data rates of 230 Mbps to 3.2 Gbps per channel for other protocols; device-level support for multi-channel serial links.
• DSP and Multiplier Resources — sysDSP architecture with cascadable slices and support for high-performance MAC operations; device provides up to 320 18×18 multipliers.
• Clocking and Timing — Multiple analog PLLs and DLLs (ECP3-150 supports up to 10 PLLs and 2 DLLs) to support complex timing and clock domain management.
• Flexible sysI/O — 586 user I/Os with a wide range of supported I/O standards, on‑chip termination and source-synchronous features for memory and high-speed interfaces.
• Configuration and System Tools — Family-level support includes configuration utilities and on-chip features for device configuration and diagnostics.
• Package & Mounting — 1156-BBGA (supplier package: 1156-FPBGA, 35×35 mm) in a surface-mount form factor.
• Power and Temperature — Core/operating supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V; rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C. RoHS compliant and specified as Industrial grade.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Serial Connectivity — Implement multi‑protocol links such as PCI Express, Ethernet variants and other SERDES-based protocols using the device’s high-speed transceivers and abundant I/O.
• Signal Processing and DSP — Leverage the sysDSP slices and 320 18×18 multipliers for real-time filtering, accumulation and other compute‑intensive operations.
• Memory Interface and Buffering — Use the device’s embedded memory and source-synchronous I/O support for DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory interfaces and large data buffering.
• Industrial Control Systems — Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O options make the device suitable for motor control, automation and sensor-aggregation designs.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 149,000 logic elements and ~7.01 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduce the need for external logic and memory, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Multi‑protocol serial capability: Embedded SERDES with broad data-rate support enable flexible deployment across a range of serial standards and link topologies.
• Dedicated DSP resources: Extensive multiplier resources and cascadable sysDSP slices accelerate multiply‑accumulate workloads and reduce reliance on external DSP processors.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs/DLLs provide the clocking granularity required for complex multi‑domain designs.
• Ruggedized for industrial use: Surface-mount 1156-BBGA packaging and −40 °C to 100 °C operating range support deployment in industrial environments.
• Comprehensive I/O options: 586 programmable I/Os with on-chip termination and source-synchronous support provide broad interface compatibility.
