• I/O Flexibility  Up to 360 I/Os with programmable sysI/O buffer options across common standards (series-level support for LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, LVDS and others), enabling broad interface compatibility.
• Clocking and Timing  Series supports up to four analog PLLs for clock multiply, divide and phase-shifting requirements.
• Memory Interface Support  Series-level dedicated DDR memory interface logic supports standard DDR memory interfaces for system memory needs.
• Package & Mounting  484-BBGA (484-FPBGA, 23 × 23 mm) surface-mount package for high-pin-count connectivity in a compact footprint.
• Power  Nominal core supply operating range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V.
• Operating Temperature  Industrial operating range: -40 °C to 100 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and manufacturing requirements.
• Design Ecosystem (Series-Level)  Series-level support includes ispLEVER design tools and pre-designed ispLeverCORE IP blocks to streamline implementation and reduce development time.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Motor control, PLC front-ends and industrial I/O aggregation benefit from the device’s industrial temperature rating, rich I/O set and programmable logic capacity.
• Signal Processing  Mid-range DSP tasks and algorithm acceleration leverage the family’s sysDSP blocks and embedded RAM for MAC operations and buffer storage.
• Memory Interface & Bridging  Designs requiring DDR connectivity can use the series-level dedicated DDR interface support to implement memory bridges and controllers.
• Embedded Systems  Control planes, peripherals aggregation and custom logic functions in cost-sensitive embedded products are supported by the device’s balance of logic, memory and I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range resources: 19,700 logic elements and ~0.43 Mbits of embedded RAM offer a practical combination of logic and memory for mainstream designs.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 360 I/Os in a 484-ball FPBGA (23 × 23 mm) enables dense system integration while preserving board area.
• DSP and clocking support: Series-level sysDSP blocks and up to four PLLs provide hardware acceleration and flexible clocking for performance-sensitive functions.
• Industrial-grade reliability: Specified for -40 °C to 100 °C operation to meet industrial application temperature requirements.
• Design productivity: Series-supported design tools and IP reduce time-to-market by enabling reuse of pre-validated cores and established toolflows.
• Regulatory-friendly: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into global production environments.
