Features...
family, providing System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) 
integration
 Embedded array for implementing megafunctions, such as 
efficient memory and specialized logic functions
 Logic array for general logic functions
 High density
 10,000 to 250,000 typical gates (see Tables 1 and 2)
 Up to 40,960 RAM bits; 2,048 bits per embedded array block 
(EAB), all of which can be used without reducing logic capacity
 System-level features
TM
 MultiVolt I/O interface support
 5.0-V tolerant input pins in FLEX 10KA devices
 Low power consumption (typical specification less than 0.5 mA 
in standby mode for most devices)
 FLEX 10K and FLEX 10KA devices support peripheral 
component interconnect Special Interest Group (PCI SIG) PCI 
Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2
 FLEX 10KA devices include pull-up clamping diode, selectable 
on a pin-by-pin basis for 3.3-V PCI compliance
 Select FLEX 10KA devices support 5.0-V PCI buses with eight or 
fewer loads
 Built-in Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) boundary-scan test 
(BST) circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990, available 
without consuming any device logic
