• Flexible Clocking — Family-level support for up to two analog PLLs to implement phase-locked clocking and clock generation.
• Low-Power Architecture — iCE40 family design emphasizes ultra-low standby and dynamic power characteristics suitable for battery- or energy-constrained systems.
• Configuration Options — Supports standard SPI configuration and internal non-volatile configuration memory (NVCM) for reliable on-board configuration.
• Package — 121-TFBGA (121-caBGA, 9×9 mm) surface-mount package for compact PCB integration.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics — Implement display controllers, LED drivers and custom logic in compact consumer devices using on-chip RAM and programmable I/O.
• IoT and Portable Systems — Low standby current and small package size make this FPGA suitable for battery-powered and space-constrained designs requiring reprogrammable logic.
• Industrial Control and Instrumentation — Industrial temperature rating and flexible I/O let designers implement sensor aggregation, protocol bridging and edge control logic.
• User Interfaces — Use programmable I/O and embedded memory for responsive UI control, LED/RGB management and input conditioning.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Density Logic: 7,680 logic elements provide substantial capacity for complex finite-state machines, glue logic and peripheral control without the cost and power of larger FPGAs.
• On-Chip Memory: 131,072 bits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external memory for many buffering and FIFO needs, simplifying BOM and PCB routing.
• Compact, PCB-Friendly Package: The 121-TFBGA (9×9 mm) caBGA package enables high-density layouts while maintaining manufacturability for volume production.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C, matching industrial system requirements for extended temperature operation.
• Flexible Configuration: On-chip NVCM and SPI configuration support enable reliable, field-programmable deployment and simple board-level programming strategies.
• Low-Voltage Operation: Core supply between 1.14 V and 1.26 V allows integration into low-voltage power domains to optimize system power usage.
