• Programmable I/O  25 general-purpose I/O pins with family-level support for programmable sysIO buffers and differential interfaces as described in the iCE40 family datasheet.
• Low-Voltage Core  Core supply range specified at 1.14 V to 1.26 V for system integration with low-voltage power rails.
• Industrial Temperature Rating  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• Compact Package  36‑VFBGA / 36‑UCBGA (2.5 × 2.5 mm) surface-mount package for tight board-level integration and small form factors.
• Configurable Device Configuration  Family features include on-chip nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) and standard SPI configuration options for flexible boot and update workflows.
• Low Power Architecture  Part of the iCE40 LP family built on a low-power process with family-level features aimed at minimizing standby and dynamic power.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Custom I/O handling, protocol bridging and timing logic in control modules benefiting from the device’s industrial temperature rating.
• Sensor Interfacing  Edge logic for aggregating sensors, pre-processing data, or converting between interfaces with low power draw.
• User Interface and LED Control  Drive and manage status indicators or simple display logic leveraging the family’s LED driver and flexible I/O capabilities.
• Embedded Glue Logic  Small, dedicated glue logic between subsystems where compact size and configurable behavior reduce BOM and board area.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic Density:  1,280 logic elements provide a balanced capacity for medium-complexity glue logic and control tasks without excess silicon.
• On‑board Memory:  Approximately 65 Kbits of embedded RAM simplifies storage of configuration tables, FIFOs, and small buffers without external memory.
• Industrial Reliability:  Operation from −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in harsh or industrial environments where extended temperature range is required.
• Compact, PCB-friendly Package:  36‑UCBGA (2.5 × 2.5 mm) enables small form-factor designs while maintaining a surface-mount footprint suitable for automated assembly.
• Low-voltage Integration:  1.14–1.26 V core supply range aligns with low-voltage system power domains for efficient integration.
• Flexible Configuration Options:  Support for internal NVCM and standard SPI configuration (family-level) reduces the need for external configuration logic and simplifies board design.
