• Clock management — Four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock nets and 24 secondary local clock nets for advanced clock distribution and low-skew system timing.
• Arithmetic and routing resources — Dedicated carry logic and multiplier support, cascade chains for wide-input functions, abundant registers/latches with clock enable and synchronous/asynchronous control, plus internal 3-state bussing.
• Configuration and re-programmability — SRAM-based in-system configuration with unlimited re-programmability and multiple programming modes (including SelectMAP, serial and JTAG modes).
• Package, power and thermal — 256-ball FBGA package (256-FBGA, 17×17), surface-mount device, supply voltage range 2.375 V to 2.625 V, commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C, RoHS compliant.
• Process and quality — 0.22 μm, 5-layer-metal CMOS process and 100% factory-tested devices.

Typical Applications

• PCI and Compact PCI systems — Implements custom logic and protocol bridging for 66 MHz PCI-compliant boards and hot-swappable Compact PCI modules.
• Custom embedded systems — Provides programmable logic and on-chip memory for control, glue logic and iterative development in commercial embedded products.
• High-speed memory interfaces — On-chip SelectRAM and fast external RAM interfaces support designs that require tight coupling to external memory.
• Multi-standard I/O bridging — Multi-standard SelectIO and abundant I/O allow interfacing across diverse signaling standards and external devices.

Unique Advantages

• Programmable, iterative development: SRAM-based architecture enables unlimited re-programmability for design prototyping and field updates.
• Integrated clock control: Multiple DLLs and hierarchical clock nets simplify low-skew, multi-clock domain designs.
• Flexible on-chip memory: Configurable LUT-based RAM and dedicated block RAM bits reduce external memory requirements for many control and buffering tasks.
• Broad I/O adaptability: Multi-standard SelectIO and 176 user I/Os allow the device to interface with a wide range of peripherals and memory devices.
• Commercial-grade thermal and supply specs: Defined operating range (0 °C to 85 °C) and narrow core supply range (2.375 V–2.625 V) simplify power and thermal planning for commercial products.
• Proven manufacturing process: 0.22 μm, 5-layer-metal process and 100% factory testing provide traceable device quality for production designs.
