ICE40LM2K-SWG25TR50

The ICE40LM2K-SWG25TR50 is an ultra-compact, ultra-low-power FPGA in the iCE40LM family, optimized for mobile and always-on sensor management applications. This device combines programmable logic with embedded memory and hardened serial interfaces to deliver sensor interfacing, pre-processing, and system-bridging functionality in a 25‑pin WLCSP footprint.

Key value comes from its small package and low-voltage operation (1.14–1.26 V), making it suitable for space-constrained, power-sensitive designs that require configurable logic, on-chip memory and integrated I²C/SPI controllers.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 2,000 logic elements for implementing glue logic, finite-state machines, and lightweight datapaths.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 80 Kbits of on-chip RAM (81,920 bits) for buffering, small lookup tables and state storage.
• Integrated Serial Interfaces  Two hardened I²C controllers and two hardened SPI controllers to interface directly with sensors and host processors.
• On-chip Strobe Generators  Two strobe generators: a Low-Power Strobe Generator (microsecond-range strobes) and a High-Speed Strobe Generator (nanosecond-range strobes) for timing-critical sensor or LED control.
• High-Drive Outputs  Three high-drive outputs with source/sink nominal 24 mA capability for LED driving or other moderate-load I/O tasks.
• Clocking Resources  Six low-skew global clock resources to simplify distribution of timing-critical signals across the fabric.
• Compact Package  25-pin WLCSP (approx. 1.71 mm × 1.71 mm) for minimal PCB area and dense system integration.
• I/O Count and Configurability  18 programmable I/O pins; on-chip pull-up control available on a per-pin basis.
• Power and Temperature  Low-voltage operation (1.14–1.26 V) and industrial operating range (–40 °C to 100 °C).

Typical Applications

• Smartphones and Mobile Devices  Sensor interfacing, low-power sensor managers and peripheral bridging in compact mobile designs.
• Tablets and Handheld Consumer Devices  Always-on sensor preprocessing, gesture recognition and user-interface glue logic where PCB space and power budget are constrained.
• Industrial Handhelds  Compact logic and sensor aggregation in handheld commercial and industrial devices operating across an extended temperature range.
• Multi-Sensor Management  Integrate multiple SPI/I²C sensors, perform lightweight sensor fusion or preprocessing before handing data to a host MCU or application processor.
• LED and Strobe Control  High-drive outputs and on-chip strobe generators for LED strobes and timing-critical illumination control.

Unique Advantages

• Ultra-small form factor: The 25‑pin WLCSP (≈1.71 mm × 1.71 mm) minimizes board area for compact system designs.
• Low-voltage, low-power operation: Narrow supply range (1.14–1.26 V) and family-level ultra-low-power design reduce system power for battery-powered products.
• Integrated sensor interfaces: Hardened I²C and SPI controllers reduce external components and simplify sensor connectivity.
• Built-in timing primitives: Dual strobe generators and six low-skew global clocks make it easier to implement precise timing and synchronous logic.
• On-chip memory for buffering: Approximately 80 Kbits of embedded RAM supports local data storage without external RAM.
• Industrial temperature support: Rated for –40 °C to 100 °C operation for deployment in extended-temperature environments.
