ICE40HX1K-TQ144

The ICE40HX1K-TQ144 is an iCE40™ HX series field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 144-pin LQFP/TQFP package. It provides a flexible logic architecture with 1,280 logic elements, approximately 64 Kbits of embedded RAM, and up to 96 I/O pins for compact, industrial-grade system designs.

Built on a low-power 40 nm process, the device targets low-cost, high-volume consumer and system applications that require a balance of performance, integration and low standby power across an extended industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Logic  1,280 logic elements (LUTs + flip-flops) organized for flexible LUT4-based logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 64 Kbits of on-chip RAM for embedded and distributed memory needs.
• I/O and Interfaces  Up to 96 programmable I/O pins supporting a range of I/O standards and source-synchronous interfaces; includes DDR registers in I/O cells for pre-engineered source-synchronous I/O.
• Clocking and PLLs  Eight low-skew global clock resources and up to two analog PLLs to support flexible on-chip clocking and clock-domain management.
• Low-Power Process  Fabricated on a 40 nm low-power process with ultra-low standby current capability (as low as 21 μA standby power reported in family data).
• Configuration Options  SRAM-based configuration supported via standard SPI interface and internal nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM).
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 144-pin LQFP / 144-TQFP (20 × 20 mm) package, suitable for surface-mount assembly.
• Industrial Grade and Operating Range  Rated industrial grade with a supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Consumer and High-Volume Devices  Low-cost, compact FPGA integration for consumer electronics and system-level designs that require flexible logic and embedded memory.
• Battery-Powered and Low-Power Systems  Applications that benefit from ultra-low standby current and a 40 nm low-power process for reduced power consumption in sleep modes.
• Interface Bridging and Peripheral Control  Programmable I/O and DDR-capable I/O cells enable protocol bridging and high-speed peripheral interfacing in embedded controllers.
• Industrial Embedded Designs  Industrial-temperature operation and a TQFP package make the part suitable for rugged embedded applications requiring wider temperature margins.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Board-Friendly Packaging: 144-LQFP / 144-TQFP (20 × 20 mm) offers a PCB-friendly footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Balanced Logic and Memory: 1,280 logic elements paired with ~64 Kbits of on-chip RAM provides a practical balance for control and data buffering tasks without external memory.
• Flexible Clocking: Eight global clock resources and up to two PLLs enable precise clock-domain control and timing flexibility.
• Low Standby Power: 40 nm low-power process and ultra-low standby current characteristics help extend battery life in mobile and wearable applications.
• Robust Operating Range: Industrial-grade rating with −40 °C to 100 °C operation supports deployment in harsher environments.
• On-Board Configuration Options: Support for SPI configuration and internal nonvolatile configuration memory simplifies system start-up and deployment.
