• Flexible I/O and Voltage — 233 user I/Os with support for multi‑standard signaling; device supply range 1.14 V to 2.625 V to accommodate varied I/O and core voltage domains.
• Security Features — Family includes design and data security capabilities such as encrypted bitstream loading and anti‑tamper mechanisms to protect intellectual property.
• Package & Mounting — 484‑ball FPBGA (23 × 23) surface‑mount package designed for compact board integration.
• Industrial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for industrial‑temperature applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead‑free assembly.

Typical Applications

• High‑Speed Communications — Implement protocol bridging, PHY interfaces or lane aggregation using the IGLOO2 family’s SERDES and PCIe capabilities.
• DSP and Signal Processing — Use embedded mathblocks and on‑chip RAM for real‑time filtering, FFTs and other DSP operations in embedded subsystems.
• Memory‑Intensive Designs — Drive external DDR2/DDR3 memory through supported memory controllers for frame buffering and large data sets.
• Industrial Control — Leverage industrial temperature range and programmable logic capacity for motor control, factory automation logic and sensor interfacing.

Unique Advantages

• Low‑power, flash‑based architecture: Flash configuration provides nonvolatile programmability and lower static power compared to volatile configuration methods.
• Balanced logic and memory resources: 12,084 logic elements paired with approximately 0.9 Mbits of embedded RAM enable efficient mid‑range designs without frequent external memory access.
• High‑speed interface capability: Family support for SERDES lanes and PCIe lets designers integrate high‑bandwidth links and networking functionality.
• Flexible I/O and voltage support: 233 I/Os and a wide supply range (1.14 V–2.625 V) simplify interfacing to varied peripherals and IO standards.
• Industrial robustness: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range and surface‑mount 484‑FPBGA packaging support ruggedized, space‑efficient designs.
• Built‑in security features: Encrypted bitstream and anti‑tamper capabilities protect design IP and support deployments in less‑trusted environments.
