Key Features

• Core Density — Approximately 3,888 logic elements and 164,674 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for complex glue logic, custom state machines, and moderate-scale datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 49,152 bits of on-chip RAM support LUT-based RAM configurations and small embedded buffers for data storage and packet buffering.
• I/O and Packaging — 176 I/O pins in a 256-BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package enable dense board-level connectivity while minimizing PCB footprint.
• Clock Management — Family-level clock features include multiple dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs) and global/local clock networks to support precise clock distribution and low-skew designs.
• Configurable Logic and Arithmetic Support — Architecture includes dedicated carry logic, multiplier support, cascade chains, and abundant registers with clock enable and set/reset options for arithmetic and control applications.
• In-System Configuration — SRAM-based device supports multiple programming modes for in-system configuration and unlimited reprogramming during development and prototyping.
• Power and Environment — Operates from 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply range; commercial operating temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and Test — 100% factory tested and includes IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan for board-level testability; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Implement custom control functions, protocol converters, and board-level glue logic where reprogrammability and moderate logic density are required.
• Signal Processing and Arithmetic Blocks — Use dedicated carry and multiplier resources for fixed-point DSP blocks, filtering, and accumulator functions within larger systems.
• Prototyping and Development — SRAM-based configuration enables rapid iteration and in-system reprogramming for hardware validation and prototype platforms.
• PCI and Legacy System Interfaces — Family features include PCI-compliant operation and Compact PCI hot-swap support, suitable for legacy peripheral and backplane interface designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Capacity and I/O: 3,888 logic elements and 176 I/O provide a mid-range combination that simplifies integration of moderate-complexity designs without excessive board-level components.
• Flexible Memory Options: Approximately 49 Kbits of embedded RAM and LUT-configurable RAM modes let you implement small FIFOs, buffers, and state storage without external memory.
• Robust Clocking Resources: Multiple DLLs and hierarchical clock networks enable precise timing control across complex logic blocks, reducing clock skew and easing timing closure.
• In-System Reprogrammability: SRAM-based configuration supports unlimited reprogramming and multiple programming modes for design updates and field-level revisions.
• Board-Level Testability: IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and 100% factory testing improve manufacturability and debug efficiency during bring-up.
• Compact, SMT Package: 256-FBGA (17×17) surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining a standard footprint for assembly.
