• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.87 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffers, FIFOs and local data storage.
• I/O and Package — 377 user I/Os presented in a 896-FBGA (31 × 31) package for high pin-count designs and compact PCB layouts.
• Power and Voltage — Operates across a 1.14 V to 2.625 V supply range to match diverse I/O standards and core requirements.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial deployments.
• Family-Level High-Speed Interfaces — IGLOO2 family features include support for high-speed serial links (up to 16 SERDES lanes), PCIe endpoint cores and XAUI/XGXS interfaces, useful for high-bandwidth communications when implemented.
• Memory Controller Options — IGLOO2 architecture provides DDRx memory controller support (DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR) with maximum memory clocking noted at the family level, enabling high-speed external memory interfacing where required.
• DSP and Math Resources — Family-level mathblocks and DSP resources (up to 240 mathblocks) are available for multiply-accumulate and signal-processing functions when used in designs targeting these capabilities.
• Security and Reliability Features — IGLOO2 family includes design and data security capabilities such as encrypted bitstream loading, anti-tamper features and device certificate options at the family level.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement motor control logic, protocol conversion and local sequencing leveraging the device’s logic capacity and industrial temperature rating.
• High-Speed Communications — Use family-level SERDES, PCIe and XAUI/XGXS support to implement serial links, protocol bridging or PHY interfacing in networking and telecom modules.
• Memory Interface and Buffering — Integrate DDRx memory controllers and on-chip RAM for data buffering, packet buffering or frame storage in embedded systems.
• Signal Processing Acceleration — Apply the available mathblocks and embedded RAM for DSP tasks such as filtering, aggregation or checksum offload in measurement and data-acquisition systems.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 56,340 logic elements paired with approximately 1.87 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a versatile platform for mixed control, interfacing and local data storage.
• Wide I/O Count in Compact Package: 377 user I/Os in an 896-FBGA (31 × 31) package simplify designs that require many external connections without excessively large PCBs.
• Flexible Supply Range: 1.14 V to 2.625 V operation supports multiple core and I/O voltage domains, easing integration with diverse peripherals and memory devices.
• Designed for Industrial Environments: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range aligns with industrial deployment requirements for robustness across temperature extremes.
• Family-Level High-Speed and Security Options: Access to IGLOO2 family features such as multi-lane SERDES, DDRx memory controllers and encrypted bitstream options enables scalable designs with enhanced connectivity and security when needed.
