Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 15,400 logic elements suitable for mid-density designs and complex glue logic integration.
• On-chip Memory — 358,400 total RAM bits (approximately 0.36 Mbits) to support buffering, packet handling and local storage.
• I/O Resources — 352 user I/Os with a programmable sysI/O buffer architecture (family-level) that supports a wide range of interface standards.
• DSP and Multiply/Accumulate — ECP family sysDSP block support (family-level) for high-performance multiply-and-accumulate operations when DSP blocks are required.
• Clocking — Four analog PLLs per device (family-level) for clock multiplication, division and phase shifting to support multi-clock domain designs.
• Power — Low-voltage core operation with a specified supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V for efficient power delivery and compatibility with 1.2 V systems.
• Package & Mounting — 484-ball BGA (484-FPBGA, 23 × 23 mm) surface-mount package optimized for high I/O density in space-constrained boards.
• Industrial Temperature — Rated for operation from –40°C to 100°C to meet industrial environment requirements.
• Standards & System Support — Family-level features include dedicated DDR memory interface support, SPI boot flash interface, IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan and internal logic analysis capabilities.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation — Leverage the industrial temperature range and high I/O count for control logic, sensor interfacing and field I/O aggregation.
• Communications & Networking — Use the device’s large I/O complement and on-chip memory for packet buffering, protocol bridging and interface adaptation.
• Embedded DSP Acceleration — Apply on-chip DSP resources and embedded memory for signal processing tasks such as filtering, encoding or protocol offload (family-level DSP support).
• System Prototyping & Glue Logic — Ideal for consolidating glue logic, custom peripherals and bus-bridging functions in compact BGA form factors.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 15,400 logic elements paired with ~0.36 Mbits of on-chip RAM provide a strong balance for mid-sized FPGA designs without external memory dependence.
• High I/O Density — 352 I/Os in a 23 × 23 mm 484-ball BGA package enable dense board-level integration and multiple interface endpoints.
• Industrial Robustness — Rated for –40°C to 100°C operation, supporting deployment in demanding industrial environments.
• Flexible Clocking — Four analog PLLs (family-level) allow designers to generate and manage multiple clock domains internally.
• Low-Voltage Core — Narrow supply range centered on 1.2 V simplifies power-rail design for systems using modern low-voltage cores.
• System-Level Features — Built-in support for SPI boot, DDR interfaces and boundary-scan eases integration and system bring-up (family-level capabilities).
