Very High Speed – ViaLink ® metal-to-metal programmable–via antifuse technology, allows counter speeds over 150 MHz and logic cell delays of under 2 ns.
High Usable Density – An 8-by-12 array of 96 logic cells provides 1,000 usable ASIC gates (2,000 PLD gates) in 44-pin and 68-pin PLCC, and 100-pin TQFP packages.
Low-Power, High-Output Drive – Standby current typically 2 mA. A 16-bit counter operating at 100 MHz consumes less than 50 mA. Minimum IOL of 12 mA and IOH of 8 mA

PRODUCT SUMMARY
FEATURES
The QL8x12B is a member of the pASIC 1 Family of very-high-speed CMOS user-programmable ASIC devices. The 96 logic cell fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA) offers 1,000 usable “gate array” gates (equivalent to 2,000 usable PLD gates) of high-performance generalpurpose logic in 44-pin and 68-pin PLCC packages and 100-pin TQFP packages.
Low-impedance, metal-to-metal, ViaLink interconnect technology provides nonvolatile custom logic capable of operating above 150 MHz. Logic cell delays under 2 ns, combined with input delays of under 1.5 ns and output delays under 3 ns, permit high-density programmable devices to be used with today’s fastest microprocessors and DSPs.
Designs can be entered using QuickLogic’s Quick Works Toolkit or most populart third-party CAE tools. QuickWorks combines Verilog/VHDL design entry and simulation tools with device-specific place & route and programming software. Ample on-chip routing channels allow fast, fully automatic place and route of designs using up to 100% of the logic and I/O cells, while maintaining fixed pin-outs.
