ICE5LP1K-CM36ITR

The ICE5LP1K-CM36ITR is a member of the iCE40 Ultra family of ultra‑low power FPGAs. It provides 1,100 logic elements, 65,536 bits of embedded RAM and 26 programmable I/Os in a compact 36‑VFBGA (36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm) surface‑mount package.

Targeted at mobile and sensor‑centric applications, this device combines low‑power architecture, on‑chip peripherals and flexible configuration options to support always‑on sensors, user interface functions and embedded preprocessing in space‑constrained systems.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,100 logic elements suitable for small to mid‑scale programmable logic functions and glue‑logic tasks.
• Embedded Memory — 65,536 bits (≈64 kbits) of on‑chip RAM for buffering, small data tables and state storage.
• I/O — 26 programmable I/Os for direct interfacing with sensors, processors and peripherals.
• Integrated Interfaces — Hardened SPI and I²C controllers (family feature) for direct sensor and host communications without external controllers.
• On‑chip Oscillators — Two internal oscillators (10 kHz LFOSC and 48 MHz HFOSC) to support low‑power always‑on functions and higher‑speed wake operations.
• On‑chip DSP — DSP blocks supporting signed/unsigned 8‑bit and 16‑bit operations including multiplier, accumulator and MAC for basic sensor preprocessing.
• LED & IR Drivers — Embedded RGB PWM outputs with up to 24 mA sink per channel and a dedicated IR LED driver supporting up to 500 mA sink (family feature) for direct LED/IR interfacing.
• Power — Operates from a supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V; part of an ultra‑low power family designed for reduced standby current.
• Clocking — Multiple low‑skew global clock resources and a PLL with dynamic interface (family feature) for flexible on‑chip clock distribution.
• Package & Thermal — 36‑VFBGA (supplier package: 36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm), surface mount; industrial operating temperature −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Always‑on sensor management, glue logic and peripheral control in compact consumer devices.
• Sensor Hubs & Fusion — Local preprocessing and aggregation of multi‑sensor data using on‑chip DSP and SPI/I²C interfaces.
• Indicator and IR Control — Direct RGB LED driving and IR LED modulation for status indicators, barcode emulation and IR transmission functions.
• USB-C Cable Detect / Power Delivery Support — Signal handling and control logic for USB Type‑C cable detect and related power‑delivery functions (family use case).

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripherals: Hardened SPI/I²C, oscillators, DSP blocks and LED/IR drivers reduce BOM and simplify board design.
• Ultra‑low power family heritage: Designed for low standby and active power use cases, enabling always‑on functionality with minimal energy impact.
• Small form factor: 36‑VFBGA (2.5 × 2.5 mm) surface‑mount package fits space‑constrained designs without sacrificing I/O or embedded resources.
• Industrial temperature range: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C to support commercial and industrial environments.
• Flexible configuration: SRAM configuration via standard SPI or internal nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) provides multiple deployment options.
• Embedded DSP acceleration: On‑chip DSP blocks offload basic signal processing and reduce load on host processors.
