ICE40LP640-CM36A

The ICE40LP640-CM36A is an iCE40™ LP Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It provides 640 logic elements, approximately 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM, and 25 general-purpose I/O in a compact 36‑VFBGA (36‑UCBGA, 2.5×2.5 mm) surface-mount package.

Designed and graded for industrial operation, the device supports a supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C, targeting compact embedded designs that require programmable logic in a small, low-voltage footprint.

Key Features

• Core Logic – 640 logic elements (cells) provide on-chip programmable logic for control and glue-logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory – 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM for state storage and small buffering needs.
• I/O Count – 25 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with peripherals and system signals.
• Low‑Voltage Operation – Rated supply voltage range from 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match low-voltage system rails.
• Industrial Temperature Grade – Specified operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C for industrial environments.
• Compact Package – 36‑VFBGA / 36‑UCBGA (2.5×2.5 mm) surface-mount package for space-constrained PCBs.
• RoHS Compliant – Meets RoHS environmental compliance requirements.
• Family Documentation – Supported by the iCE40 LP/HX family data sheet and architecture documentation for detailed electrical and programming information.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control logic – Implement programmable control, sequencing, or glue logic in industrial systems that require industrial temperature operation.
• Compact embedded systems – Integrate programmable logic in space-constrained designs using the 2.5×2.5 mm 36‑UCBGA package.
• Low‑voltage system integration – Add FPGA-based functions in systems operating at ~1.2 V rails with appropriate power sequencing.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized logic density: 640 logic elements provide a balance between programmable capacity and minimal silicon footprint for modest logic requirements.
• Small, manufacturable package: 36‑VFBGA / 36‑UCBGA (2.5×2.5 mm) surface-mount package enables dense board layouts and automated assembly.
• Industrial operating range: Rated from -40 °C to 100 °C to support deployed industrial applications without derating functionality.
• Low-voltage compatibility: Narrow supply range (1.14 V to 1.26 V) simplifies integration into low-voltage platforms when that rail is available.
• On-chip RAM available: 32,768 bits of embedded RAM reduce the need for small external memory in control and buffering tasks.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing and supply requirements.
