• I/O and Package  188 user I/Os in a 256-ball fpBGA (256-FPBGA, 17×17 mm) surface-mount package for compact board integration and high pin density.
• Non-volatile, Instant-on Architecture  ispXP non-volatile architecture provides immediate configuration at power-up without external configuration memory and supports in-system reconfiguration.
• Voltage and Temperature  Flexible supply operation from 1.71 V to 3.465 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Clocking and Timing  Up to four analog PLLs per device to enable clock multiplication, division and phase shifting for timing and interface requirements.
• Memory Interface Support  Dedicated DDR memory interface capability supporting up to DDR333 (166 MHz) operation for external memory connectivity.
• Programmable I/O Standards  sysIO programmable buffers support a wide range of interfaces (LVCMOS levels, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI, LVDS, LVPECL, Bus-LVDS, RSDS) to accommodate varied signaling requirements.
• Low-Power Modes  Sleep mode support for significant static current reduction during low-activity periods.
• System and Development Support  IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan plus on-chip debug and configuration capabilities for system integration and in-field reconfiguration.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Buffering: Use the device's dedicated DDR support and embedded RAM to implement DDR333-compatible interfaces and on-chip data buffering.
• High-Density I/O Control: With 188 I/Os in a compact 256-ball fpBGA, the FPGA is suited for applications requiring many signal lines in constrained board space.
• Configurable Logic for Embedded Systems: Instant-on non-volatile configuration and 15,000 logic elements enable system glue logic, protocol bridging and custom control functions.
• Mixed-Signal Interface Gateways: Programmable sysIO buffers supporting LVDS, PCI and multiple SSTL/HSTL families make the device appropriate for varied interface translation and aggregation tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-On Non-Volatile Operation: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables immediate device availability at power-up.
• Flexible I/O Standards: Programmable I/O buffers support many common signaling families, reducing the need for external level translators.
• Balanced Integration: Combines approximately 15,000 logic elements with roughly 0.33 Mbits of embedded memory and 188 I/Os in a single compact package to minimize BOM and board area.
• Multiple PLLs for Clocking: Up to four analog PLLs provide clock management options for multi-domain systems and high-speed interfaces.
• Power and Thermal Fit for Commercial Designs: Wide supply range (1.71 V–3.465 V) and commercial temperature rating (0 °C–85 °C) for a variety of mainstream applications.
• In-Field Reconfiguration: Reconfigure SRAM-based logic and update designs in-system with TransFR™ reconfiguration and JTAG-accessible configuration pathways.
