ICE40LP640-CM49

The ICE40LP640-CM49 is an iCE40™ LP-series ultra low-power field programmable gate array from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It integrates 640 logic elements, on-chip nonvolatile configuration memory, and an integrated PLL to support compact, low-power programmable logic in a 49-ball chip-scale BGA package. Typical targets include mobile and embedded applications that require low power, small footprint, and flexible I/O.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 640 logic elements (LUT + flip‑flop) providing a compact programmable fabric for control, glue logic, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 32 Kbits of on-chip RAM (32,768 bits) for FIFOs, small buffers, and state storage.
• Integrated PLL — On-chip phase-locked loop with up to 533 MHz PLL output for clocking and clock domain management.
• I/O — 35 programmable I/O pins in four I/O banks to interface with peripherals and sensors; I/O bank supplies are supported per bank.
• Power — Core supply range specified at 1.14 V to 1.26 V; ultra-low standby current characteristics are documented for low-power designs.
• Nonvolatile Configuration — Built-in nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) enabling reprogrammable operation without external configuration flash.
• Package & Mounting — 49-ball chip-scale BGA (3 × 3 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) surface-mount package optimized for space-constrained boards.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Standards & Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Development Ecosystem — Supported by the iCEcube2 development system with Windows and Linux support, VHDL and Verilog synthesis, place-and-route tools, and IP core libraries.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Compact, low-power programmable logic for display controllers, sensor aggregation, and interface bridging in space-constrained designs.
• Embedded Control — Glue logic, protocol conversion, and small control tasks where low standby power and a small package reduce BOM and board area.
• Consumer Electronics — Custom I/O handling, timing control, and peripheral interfacing using the integrated PLL and on-chip memory.
• IoT and Sensor Nodes — Local preprocessing, interface adaptation, and low-power wake/sleep control leveraging the device’s low-power characteristics and nonvolatile configuration.

Unique Advantages

• Low-power architecture: Core supply and documented low standby currents make the device suitable for battery-sensitive applications.
• Small footprint: 3 × 3 mm 49-ball BGA simplifies placement in compact designs while providing sufficient I/O and logic for many embedded tasks.
• On-chip configuration and PLL: NVCM plus an integrated PLL (up to 533 MHz) reduce external component count for clocking and configuration.
• Ready development flow: Supported by iCEcube2 with VHDL/Verilog toolchains and IP libraries to accelerate prototyping and deployment.
• Industrial temperature rating: Operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable performance across a wide thermal range.
• RoHS compliant: Meets common environmental compliance requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
