Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 600,000 system gates and 13,824 logic elements (VersaTiles) for medium-density programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — 110,592 bits of total on-chip RAM (approximately 0.11 Mbits) to support data buffering, FIFOs and state storage.
• On-Chip Nonvolatile Storage — Family-level support for 1 kbit of on-chip FlashROM for storing configuration and user nonvolatile data.
• I/O Count and Flexibility — 154 user I/Os in the 208-pin package; ProASIC3E family I/Os support mixed-voltage operation and common single-ended and differential standards.
• Clocking and PLLs — PQ208 package supports up to six Clock Conditioning Circuit (CCC) blocks with integrated PLLs and up to two PLLs for flexible clock management.
• Power and Supply — Core voltage range specified from 1.425 V to 1.575 V to support low-power core operation.
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier device package 208-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) with surface-mount mounting for standard PCB assembly flows.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C suitable for commercial electronics applications.
• Security and In-System Programming (family) — Family-level features include AES-based ISP decryption and FlashLock® security mechanisms for protecting FPGA contents.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Use as a reprogrammable control fabric to integrate interfaces, state machines and peripheral logic in medium-density embedded systems.
• Industrial and Commercial Instrumentation — Implement custom signal conditioning, protocol bridging and I/O expansion within commercial-temperature instrumentation.
• Communications Interfaces — Implement protocol adaptation, buffering and timing logic using the device’s embedded RAM and rich I/O resources.
• Consumer and Professional Electronics — Rapid prototyping and product variants where reprogrammable nonvolatile logic and instant-on behavior reduce system complexity.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable Nonvolatile Design: Flash-based configuration retains the programmed design when powered off and enables in-field reprogramming.
• Integrated Memory and Logic Density: 13,824 logic elements together with approximately 0.11 Mbits of embedded RAM allow consolidation of multiple discrete functions into a single device.
• Flexible Clocking: Support for multiple CCC blocks and PLLs in the PQ208 package enables sophisticated clock conditioning and domain generation.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP footprint provides high pin count in a board-friendly package for standard SMT assembly.
• Secure In-System Programming (series-level): Family features include AES decryption for ISP and FlashLock® security to protect firmware and IP.
• Commercial-Ready Specification: Commercial temperature range and RoHS compliance make this device suitable for a wide range of mainstream products.
