Key Features

• Core Capacity — 400,000 system gates and 9,216 logic elements provide a dense, reprogrammable logic fabric for medium-complexity digital designs.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 55,296 bits (approximately 0.054 Mbits / 54 Kbits) and 1 kbit of FlashROM user nonvolatile memory for configuration and small user storage.
• I/O Flexibility — 151 user I/Os with support for 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V single-ended standards; bank-selectable I/O voltages enable mixed-voltage interfacing on a single device.
• Security and In-System Programming — On-chip 128-bit AES decryption for secure JTAG ISP and FlashLock technology to protect FPGA contents during in-system updates.
• Clocking and Performance — High-performance routing with segmented hierarchical clocks, up to 350 MHz system performance, and configurable clock conditioning blocks including PLL capability.
• Low Power Operation — Flash-based instant-on architecture and a low-voltage core (1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range) optimized for power-sensitive designs.
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28 × 28) surface-mount package simplifies board layout for compact designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to match commercial application requirements.
• Standards & Testability — IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support for board-level test and in-field programming.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics — Implement user interfaces, control logic and peripheral bridging in portable and high-volume consumer products where low power and instant-on are advantageous.
• Battery-Powered Devices — Use the low-voltage core and Flash-based configuration to minimize power draw and enable reliable instant-on operation.
• Embedded Control — Integrate custom control functions, protocol translation and timing-critical logic using the device’s clock conditioning and programmable routing resources.
• Secure In-System Updates — Enable field upgrades and secure configuration storage via AES-protected JTAG ISP and FlashLock security.

Unique Advantages

• Single-Chip, Nonvolatile Solution: Flash-based configuration eliminates external configuration memory while retaining programmed designs when powered off.
• Secure Field Programmability: Built-in AES decryption and FlashLock support secure in-system updates and protect IP on-device.
• Mixed-Voltage I/O: Bank-selectable voltages and multiple single-ended I/O standards reduce the need for external level translators, simplifying BOM and board design.
• Compact Package with High I/O Count: 151 I/Os in a 208-pin PQFP package provide dense connectivity in a space-conscious footprint.
• Configurable Clocking: Multiple clock conditioning blocks and PLL support flexible clock management for timing-critical applications.
• Commercial Focus: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant to meet commercial production and regulatory requirements.
