ICE40LM2K-CM49

The ICE40LM2K-CM49 is a low-power iCE40™ LM family FPGA in a 49‑VFBGA package, offering 2,000 logic elements and flexible on-chip resources for compact embedded designs. It targets mobile and handheld sensor-management applications where integration, low standby power and small form factor are critical.

As a member of the iCE40LM family, the device includes family-level capabilities such as integrated SPI and I²C controllers and dual strobe generators, enabling sensor interfacing, timing control and peripheral bridging in space-constrained designs.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 2,000 logic elements with 250 CLB units to implement custom user logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 80 Kbits (81,920 bits) of on-chip RAM for local buffering and state storage.
• Integrated Interfaces — Family-level support for two hardened SPI controllers and two hardened I²C controllers for direct sensor and peripheral connectivity.
• Strobe Generators — Family includes two on-chip strobe generators (low-power and high-speed) for microsecond- and nanosecond-range timing control.
• I/O and Drive — 37 programmable I/O pins with selectable pull-ups; family devices include high-current drive outputs for LED and similar loads (nominal 24 mA source/sink on HD outputs).
• Power — Low-voltage operation with a supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V, leveraging an advanced low-power process; the iCE40LM family reports standby power down to 120 μW typical.
• Package & Mounting — 49‑VFBGA (supplier package: 49‑UCBGA, 3×3) surface‑mount package optimized for compact board designs.
• Temperature & Grade — Industrial grade with an operating range of −40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Smartphones and Mobile Devices — Sensor management, interface bridging and low-power always-on functions in space-constrained mobile designs.
• Tablets and Handheld Consumer Devices — Custom user-logic, peripheral interfacing and LED drive within small package footprints.
• Multi-Sensor Management — Aggregation, preprocessing and control for motion, gesture and environmental sensors using on-chip SPI/I²C blocks.
• Always‑On Sensor Applications — Low standby power and dedicated strobe timing for wake-on-event and low-power monitoring tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated sensor interfaces: Hardened SPI and I²C controllers reduce external components and simplify sensor connectivity.
• Low-power operation: Narrow supply range and advanced low‑power process enable low standby consumption for battery-powered designs.
• Deterministic timing control: Dual strobe generators (microsecond and nanosecond ranges) provide precise timing for sensor strobing and peripheral control.
• Compact, solderable package: 49‑VFBGA / 49‑UCBGA (3×3) surface‑mount package minimizes PCB area while providing 37 I/Os for flexible I/O allocation.
• Industrial temperature capability: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in a wide range of environmental conditions.
• On-chip memory and drive: Approximately 80 Kbits of embedded RAM plus high-drive outputs enable local buffering and direct LED or actuator drive.
