The ICE40LP8K-CM225 is an iCE40™ LP series field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 225-ball VFBGA/ucBGA package. It provides 7,680 logic elements, approximately 128 kbits of embedded RAM, and up to 178 user I/Os in a compact 7×7 package footprint.

Designed for low-power, configurable logic in consumer and system applications, this industrial-grade device combines flexible I/O, on-chip configuration options and on-chip clocking resources to enable a range of embedded and interface functions while operating across a wide temperature and voltage range.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 7,680 logic elements (LUTs + flip-flops) supporting flexible LUT4-based architecture.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 128 kbits of sysMEM™ embedded block RAM for data buffering and small local storage.
• I/O Capacity & Flexibility — Up to 178 programmable I/O pins with support for multiple I/O standards (programmable sysIO™ buffer features are part of the iCE40 family).
• Low-Power Architecture — Ultra-low power family architecture fabricated on a 40 nm low-power process; family datasheet cites extremely low standby currents for LP variants.
• On-Chip Clocking — Multiple low-skew global clock resources and up to two PLLs (family-level feature) for flexible clocking and source-synchronous interfaces.
• Configuration Options — SRAM configuration via standard SPI and internal Nonvolatile Configuration Memory (NVCM) as provided by the iCE40 family.
• High-Current LED Drivers (family feature) — Family includes devices with high-current LED drivers suitable for driving three separate LEDs or one RGB LED.
• Package & Mounting — 225-VFBGA package (supplier device package listed as 225-UCBGA, 7×7); surface-mount mounting type.
• Operating Range — Voltage supply range: 1.14 V to 1.26 V; operating temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Consumer and High-Volume Systems — Flexible programmable logic for feature integration, protocol bridging and control functions in low-cost, high-volume devices.
• User Interfaces and LED Control — Drives multiple LEDs or RGB lighting and implements UI logic using the family’s high-current LED driver capability.
• Flexible I/O Bridging — Implements interface adaptation and signal conditioning where a high count of programmable I/Os and multiple I/O standards are required.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Local control, glue logic and small data buffering using the device’s logic elements and embedded RAM.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 7,680 logic elements enable substantial on-chip logic integration to consolidate discrete components and reduce BOM.
• Significant On-Chip RAM: Approximately 128 kbits of embedded RAM provides local storage for buffering, state machines and small data sets without external memory.
• Broad I/O Count: Up to 178 programmable I/Os support complex peripheral and interface requirements on a single device.
• Industrial Operating Range: Specified for −40 °C to 100 °C, making it suitable for industrial-temperature applications.
• Compact, PCB-Friendly Package: 225-ball VFBGA/ucBGA in a 7×7 layout provides a small footprint for space-constrained designs while retaining high I/O availability.
• On-Chip Configuration Flexibility: Support for SPI configuration and internal NVCM simplifies system boot and deployment options.
