Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 24,000 logic elements to implement mid-range combinational and sequential logic designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.03 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffers, FIFOs, and packet/data storage requirements.
• I/O and Packaging — Up to 197 user I/O in a 256‑LFBGA (supplier package: 256‑CABGA, 14×14) surface-mount package for compact board layouts.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Guaranteed operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for harsh-environment deployments.
• Power — Core supply range of 1.045 V to 1.155 V to meet precise power delivery and rail design requirements.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing consistency.
• Family Architecture (ECP5) — Based on the ECP5 family architecture (data sheet) which includes advanced clocking (PLL), programmable I/O structures, DDR memory support, DSP resources and flexible SERDES/PHY building blocks for diverse system functions.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Use where industrial temperature operation and multiple I/O are required for motor control, PLC interfaces, or factory automation logic.
• Communications Interfaces — Implement protocol bridging, packet buffering, and PHY interfacing leveraging the device’s I/O count and embedded memory.
• Edge and Embedded Processing — Deploy mid-density programmable logic for real-time data handling, sensor aggregation, and custom logic offload.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic Density: 24,000 logic elements provide a balance between capacity and cost for many mid-range FPGA designs.
• Significant On-chip Memory: Approximately 1.03 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces reliance on external memory for buffering and local data storage.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package: 197 I/O in a 256‑LFBGA (14×14) footprint supports dense interfacing while keeping PCB area manageable.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation to meet requirements for industrial deployment and extended temperature use cases.
• Precision Power Window: Narrow core supply range (1.045 V to 1.155 V) enables predictable power budgeting and stable core operation.
• Standards and Compliance: RoHS compliance aligns the device with common manufacturing and environmental requirements.
