ICE40UP5K-SG48I

The ICE40UP5K-SG48I is an iCE40 UltraPlus family field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Lattice Semiconductor. It combines a compact 48-VFQFN exposed pad package with a flexible on-chip architecture that includes embedded memory, DSP resources and multiple programmable I/O features described in the iCE40 UltraPlus data sheet.

Targeted for industrial applications, this device delivers 5,280 logic elements distributed across 660 logic blocks, approximately 1.17 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 39 user I/O pins — all within a surface-mount 48-QFN (7×7) package and an industrial operating range.

Key Features

• Core Logic 5,280 logic elements across 660 logic blocks provide the programmable fabric for custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 1.17 Mbits of on-chip RAM (total RAM bits 1,171,456) for data buffering, state storage, and local memory-intensive tasks.
• DSP and Processing Blocks Integrated sysDSP resources (sysDSP referenced in the family datasheet) enable efficient implementation of arithmetic and signal-processing pipelines.
• Clocking and Timing sysCLOCK phase-locked loops (PLLs) and on-chip oscillator options are provided in the UltraPlus family for flexible clock generation and distribution.
• I/O and Interfaces 39 user I/Os with support for sysI/O buffer banks, user I²C and user SPI IP (documented in the family datasheet) for peripheral interfacing and board-level connectivity.
• RGB and PWM IP Family features include RGB high-current drive I/O pins and RGB PWM IP suitable for LED and display drive functions as described in the datasheet.
• Non-Volatile Configuration The UltraPlus family includes non-volatile configuration memory and configuration options to support device programming and system boot behavior.
• Power and Packaging Low-voltage core operation with a recommended supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and a compact 48-VFQFN exposed pad package (supplier device package: 48-QFN 7×7) for space-constrained designs.
• Industrial Temperature Rating Rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40 °C to 100 °C.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation Implement custom control logic, sensor interfaces, and deterministic I/O handling within industrial temperature and package constraints.
• Embedded Control and Timing Use internal PLLs, on-chip oscillators, and programmable logic for motor control, timing-critical controllers, and deterministic embedded processing.
• LED and Display Control Leverage RGB high-current drive I/Os and RGB PWM IP for LED drivers, backlighting control, and small display interfaces.
• Peripheral Bridging and Interface Aggregation Consolidate SPI, I²C and general-purpose I/O functions into a single programmable device to reduce BOM and simplify board routing.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, manufacturable package: The 48-VFQFN exposed pad (48-QFN 7×7) offers a small footprint and surface-mount compatibility for dense PCBs.
• Industrial-rated operation: Specified for -40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 1.17 Mbits of embedded RAM supports local buffering and reduces dependence on external memory.
• Rich peripheral set from the family datasheet: Integrated PLLs, sysDSP, SPI and I²C IP, on-chip oscillator, and RGB/PWM features allow integration of diverse functions without external IC proliferation.
• Low-voltage core: Core supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V helps align with modern low-voltage system rails and power architectures.
• Manufacturer documentation: Supported by the iCE40 UltraPlus family data sheet for architecture, programming, and timing details.
