• I/O Resources — 118 programmable I/O pins for flexible interfacing to peripherals, sensors, and external memory.
• Package & Mounting — 285-LFBGA (supplier package: 285-CSFBGA, 10×10); surface-mount package suitable for compact PCB layouts.
• Power Supply — Core supply range from 1.045 V to 1.155 V for the device core domain.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for mainstream electronic applications.
• Family Architecture Features — Family-level capabilities documented in the ECP5 data sheet include PLL-based clocking (sysCLOCK PLL), dedicated DSP resources (sysDSP), on-chip memory architecture (sysMEM), and configurable routing/slice architecture.
• High-speed Interfaces & SERDES — ECP5 family documentation describes SERDES and Physical Coding Sublayer support for serial connectivity and high-speed I/O use cases.
• Programmable I/O and sysI/O Buffers — Configurable I/O cells and on-chip I/O buffer features described in the family datasheet for various signaling needs and DDR memory support.
• System & Test Features — Family-level features include IEEE-1149.1-compliant boundary scan testability, device configuration options, on-chip oscillator, and SEU support as described in the ECP5 datasheet.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems — Implements custom control, glue logic, and peripheral interfacing where mid-range logic and moderate on-chip memory are required.
• Communications & Networking — Supports high-speed serial links and programmable I/O for protocol bridging, SERDES client interfaces and data path processing.
• Video and Vision — Provides on-chip memory and DSP resources for frame buffering, preprocessing kernels, and timing control in camera and video pipeline designs.
• Memory Interface & Data Acquisition — DDR memory support and flexible I/O allow the device to act as an interface bridge, buffer, or controller in data-capture and buffering applications.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Approximately 12,000 logic elements combined with ~0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM enables implementation of moderate-complexity designs without external FPGA-class parts.
• Flexible I/O Count: 118 programmable I/O pins let you route multiple interfaces and peripherals from a single device footprint.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 285-LFBGA (285-CSFBGA, 10×10) package supports dense board designs while keeping a relatively small PCB area.
• Integrated Family-Level Capabilities: Built-in family features such as PLLs, DSP slices, SERDES and configurable I/O—documented in the ECP5 datasheet—provide the building blocks for timing-sensitive and high-speed designs.
• Low-Voltage Core Operation: A narrow core supply window (1.045 V–1.155 V) supports controlled power domains and predictable power sequencing in system designs.
• Regulatory & Assembly Readiness: Surface-mount package and RoHS compliance ease manufacturing and environmental compliance considerations for commercial products.
