Key Features

• Core Logic  640 logic elements (LUT + flip-flop) organized into programmable logic blocks supporting four-input LUTs and flip-flops with enable and reset controls.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 32 Kbits of on-chip RAM (RAM4K memory blocks) to support frame buffers, FIFOs, and small data caches.
• Programmable I/O and Package  Up to 67 programmable I/O pins in a compact 100‑LQFP (14×14, 0.5 mm pitch) surface-mount package for space-constrained boards.
• Integrated PLL  On-chip Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for clock multiplication/division; PLL output up to 533 MHz to support display timing, SerDes, and memory interfaces.
• Low-Power Operation  Ultra-low standby/core current (typical 200 μA at 0 kHz) suitable for battery-powered and always-on systems; core supply range specified at 1.14 V to 1.26 V.
• Industrial Temperature and Reliability  Rated for operating temperatures from −40 °C to 100 °C and supplied as an industrial-grade device for demanding environments.
• Reprogrammable and Development Support  Reprogrammable from multiple configuration sources and supported by the iCEcube™ development system with synthesis, place-and-route, and IP core libraries; compatible with a low-cost iCEman40HX development board for evaluation.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Tablet and Mobile Displays  Handles display timing and imaging tasks where compact package and integrated PLL clocking are required for high-resolution panels.
• Display, SerDes and Memory Interfaces  PLL-based clock multiplication/division supports interface timing and bridging between components with different clock domains.
• Embedded and Portable Systems  Low standby current and sub-1.3 V core operation make the device suitable for battery-powered and low-power embedded controllers.
• Industrial Control and I/O Bridging  Industrial temperature rating and 67 programmable I/Os enable custom control, sensor interfacing, and protocol adaptation in harsh environments.
• Development and Prototyping  Use with the iCEman40HX development board and iCEcube™ toolset for rapid evaluation and design iteration.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, board-friendly package: The 100‑LQFP surface-mount package (14×14 mm) simplifies routing and reduces BOM size for space-constrained designs.
• Integrated high-speed clocking: On-chip PLL with up to 533 MHz output reduces external clocking components for display and interface timing.
• Low quiescent current: Typical 200 μA core current at 0 kHz preserves battery life in standby and always-on modes.
• Industrial temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in demanding environmental conditions.
• Reprogrammability and development ecosystem: Supported by iCEcube™ tools and a low-cost development board to accelerate bring-up and IP integration.
• Clear supply requirements: Narrow core voltage window (1.14 V to 1.26 V) simplifies power-rail design for reliable operation.
