• Embedded Memory Approximately 1.87 Mbits of total on-chip RAM (1,869,824 bits) to support data buffering, state storage and local scratch RAM needs.
• DSP and Mathblocks IGLOO2 family mathblock resources enable high-performance multiplication and accumulation for DSP functions (family-level mathblock architecture described in product literature).
• High-Speed Serial Interfaces Family-level support for multiple SERDES lanes and protocol options including PCIe and XAUI/XGMII extensions for high-bandwidth serial connectivity.
• High-Speed Memory Interfaces IGLOO2 architecture includes DDRx memory controller capabilities (family-level) supporting LPDDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory types and memory performance optimizations.
• I/O and Package 207 user I/Os accessible from a 400-LFBGA package (supplier package 400-VFBGA, 17 × 17 mm); surface-mount mounting for modern PCB assembly.
• Power and Operating Range Supports a supply voltage range from 1.14 V to 2.625 V and commercial-grade operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Security and System Features The IGLOO2 family provides design and data security options at the architecture level, including encrypted bitstream and cryptographic services in premium devices (family-level features).
• Regulatory RoHS compliant for global electronics manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Networking Use in networking equipment that requires SERDES lanes and PCIe connectivity for packet processing and link aggregation (leverages IGLOO2 family serial interface capabilities).
• Memory-Intensive Embedded Systems Ideal for systems needing DDRx interfaces and on-chip RAM for buffering and bridging between peripherals and external memory.
• Digital Signal Processing Suited to DSP tasks such as filtering and accumulation where mathblock resources and local SRAM accelerate fixed-function signal processing.
• Secure Embedded Control Applicable to secure designs that benefit from IGLOO2 family security features for encrypted configuration and IP protection.

Unique Advantages
