• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.87 Mbits of total on-chip RAM; IGLOO2 architecture supports multiple embedded memory options including large dual-port SRAM and micro SRAM blocks.
• DSP & Math Resources — IGLOO2 family provides dedicated mathblocks for DSP functions; the architecture includes high-performance signed and unsigned multipliers and accumulators as part of the family feature set.
• High-Speed Serial Interfaces — IGLOO2 architecture supports multi-lane SERDES and protocol-capable interfaces including PCIe and XAUI/XGMII extensions for high-speed communication needs.
• High-Speed Memory Interfaces — Family-level support for DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers, enabling interfaces to external high-speed memories when required by system design.
• I/O Flexibility — 267 user I/Os with multi-standard support across a wide range of signaling standards (LVCMOS, DDR I/Os, LVDS family, etc.) as described for the IGLOO2 family.
• Package & Mounting — 484-ball BGA (supplier device package: 484-FPBGA, 23×23) optimized for surface-mount assembly.
• Power & Temperature — Core and I/O supply range from 1.14 V to 2.625 V and commercial operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Security & Reliability Features — IGLOO2 family-level security includes encrypted bitstream loading and supply-chain device certificate options; family also emphasizes low-power and reliability characteristics.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant for environmental and regulatory conformity.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications — Implements protocol bridging, SERDES interfacing and PCIe endpoints using the IGLOO2 family’s serial and protocol-capable interfaces.
• Embedded compute and DSP — Uses mathblocks and on-chip RAM for signal processing, filtering and arithmetic-intensive tasks in compact FPGA-based subsystems.
• Memory interface controllers — Acts as a controller or interface logic for DDR/LPDDR/DDR2/DDR3 memories leveraging family DDR controller support.
• Secure embedded systems — Suitable for applications requiring encrypted bitstream loading and hardware-based anti-tamper or device authentication features provided by the IGLOO2 architecture.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 56,340 logic elements and substantial on-chip RAM reduce external component count and simplify board-level design.
• Multi-protocol connectivity: Family support for SERDES lanes and PCIe/XAUI interfaces enables flexible high-speed link implementation.
• Embedded memory options: Multiple SRAM block types and on-chip eSRAM/eNVM options in the IGLOO2 architecture streamline data buffering and code storage.
• Security-focused architecture: Encrypted bitstream loading and device authentication capabilities help protect IP and enable secure deployment models.
• Commercial temperature and broad supply range: 0 °C to 85 °C operating range and 1.14 V–2.625 V supply tolerance support a wide set of commercial designs and board topologies.
• RoHS compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing and materials for regulated markets.
