ICE40LM2K-CM49TR1K

The ICE40LM2K-CM49TR1K is an ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the iCE40 LM family, optimized for mobile and always-on sensor management applications. It integrates 2,000 logic elements, approximately 80 kbits of embedded RAM, hardened serial interfaces and on-chip strobe generators to support sensor interfacing, pre-processing and small-form-factor control tasks.

Designed for compact, industrial-grade applications, this device ships in a 49‑VFBGA (49‑UCBGA 3×3) package, provides 37 I/Os, and operates over a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply range and an ambient temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Contains 2,000 logic elements suitable for control, glue logic and sensor pre-processing functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 80 kbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, state storage and small lookup tables.
• Serial Interfaces  Includes two hardened I²C controllers and two hardened SPI controllers for direct connection to sensors and processors.
• Strobe Generators  Two on-chip strobe generators: a Low-Power Strobe Generator for microsecond-range strobes and a High-Speed Strobe Generator for nanosecond-range strobes.
• I/O and Drive  37 general-purpose I/Os with per-pin controllable pull-ups and three high-current drive outputs (nominal source/sink 24 mA) for LED or actuator drive.
• Power  Low-voltage operation with a specified supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and ultra-low standby power characteristics cited for the family.
• Package & Mounting  49‑VFBGA (supplier package: 49‑UCBGA, 3×3) surface-mount package for compact board designs.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial-grade operation from −40 °C to 100 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices  Sensor management, bridging and low-power control functions in smartphones, tablets and consumer handhelds.
• Always-On Sensor Nodes  Low-power standby and embedded interfaces make it suitable for always-on motion, gesture or environmental sensing.
• Multi-Sensor Management  Consolidates SPI/I²C sensor interfaces and local preprocessing for sensor fusion and data reduction.
• Industrial Handheld Equipment  Compact FPGA-based control and I/O expansion in industrial handheld and commercial devices within the specified temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Ultra-low power profile  Family-level standby power targets enable longer battery life in portable and always-on applications.
• Integrated sensor interfaces  Hardened I²C and SPI controllers reduce component count and simplify sensor connectivity.
• Flexible timing control  Dual strobe generators provide both microsecond and nanosecond timing capabilities for a range of sensor and LED timing needs.
• Compact, surface-mount package  49‑VFBGA (49‑UCBGA 3×3) package supports small PCB footprints for space-constrained designs.
• Industrial temperature range  Rated operation from −40 °C to 100 °C to support commercial and industrial handheld use cases.
• Embedded memory for on-chip buffering  Approximately 80 kbits of RAM to support local data storage and buffering without external memory.
