• Embedded Memory  Includes 55,296 bits of total on-chip RAM (approximately 0.055 Mbits) to support FIFOs, small buffers, and local data storage.
• I/O Resources  Offers 151 general-purpose I/Os to interface with multiple peripherals and external devices from a single package.
• Flash-Based, Low-Power Architecture  Part of the ProASIC3 family with Flash*Freeze technology as documented in the family datasheet, providing flash-based configuration and low-power characteristics.
• Power Supply  Operates from a defined core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for predictable power design and rail planning.
• Package & Mounting  Supplied in a 208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28×28) package and intended for surface-mount assembly, enabling high pin-count connectivity in a compact footprint.
• Operating Conditions & Grade  Commercial grade device rated for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Custom Digital Logic and Prototyping  Implement application-specific digital functions and iterative design changes using the device’s 9,216 logic elements and flash-based configuration.
• Interface Bridging and Glue Logic  Use the 151 I/Os to consolidate peripheral interfaces and reduce external glue components on mixed-signal or multi-board systems.
• Control and Sequencing  Deploy for embedded control, sequencing, and state-machine tasks where on-chip RAM and flexible I/O are required.
• Medium-Density Data Path Processing  Leverage the combination of gates, logic elements, and on-chip memory for data routing, buffering, and protocol handling in compact systems.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic resources: 9,216 logic elements and ~400,000 gates reduce the need for multiple discrete logic devices, simplifying board design.
• Flash-based, low-power operation: ProASIC3 family Flash*Freeze technology provides a flash configuration approach that aligns with low-power design goals.
• High I/O density in a compact package: 151 I/Os in a 208-pin PQFP (28×28) allow dense connectivity without a larger BGA footprint.
• Predictable power rail requirements: Narrow core voltage range (1.425 V to 1.575 V) helps streamline power-supply design and sequencing.
• Commercial temperature rating and RoHS compliance: Suited for standard commercial environments while meeting RoHS lead-free requirements.
