ICE5LP1K-CM36ITR1K

The ICE5LP1K-CM36ITR1K is an industrial‑grade iCE40 Ultra™ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a compact 36‑VFBGA package. It delivers 1100 logic elements, 26 user I/Os and embedded memory, targeting low‑power, space‑constrained sensor and mobile applications.

Built around an ultra‑low power FPGA architecture, this device integrates on‑chip oscillators, hardened serial interfaces, DSP primitives and high‑current LED drivers to simplify system design and reduce component count.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1100 logic elements provide programmable logic capacity for glue logic, sensor preprocessing and custom control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 65 kbits (65,536 bits) of on‑chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs and small state machines directly in the FPGA.
• I/O and Package — 26 user I/Os in a 36‑VFBGA (supplier package: 36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm) surface‑mount package, enabling compact PCB designs.
• On‑chip Peripherals — Family features include two hardened I²C and two hardened SPI controllers, DSP functional blocks (8/16‑bit signed/unsigned multiplier, accumulator, MAC), three 24 mA RGB LED drive outputs and one 500 mA IR LED drive output for direct LED interfacing without external MOSFETs.
• Clocking and Oscillators — Two on‑chip oscillators (10 kHz LFOSC and 48 MHz HFOSC) and flexible clock resources including global signals and a PLL for dynamic clocking.
• Power — Low‑voltage core supply range from 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match low‑power system domains.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for extended environmental robustness.
• Mounting — Surface mount device suitable for modern compact assemblies.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Always‑on Sensor Management — Low‑power oscillators and integrated interfaces make the device suitable for sensor hub and wake‑on‑event functions in portable or battery‑powered systems.
• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Compact 2.5 × 2.5 mm package and low supply voltage suit space‑constrained smartphones, tablets and handheld consumer electronics.
• LED and IR Control — On‑chip 24 mA RGB outputs and a 500 mA IR output enable direct drive of status LEDs and IR emitters for indicators, IrDA or barcode‑emulation functions with reduced BOM.
• Sensor Preprocessing and Fusion — DSP blocks and embedded RAM provide local preprocessing for sensor data reduction and fusion before forwarding to a host processor.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripherals: Hardened SPI/I²C controllers, oscillators and LED/IR drivers reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Low‑power architecture: Designed for ultra‑low power operation with dedicated LFOSC for always‑on tasks, helping extend battery life in portable systems.
• Compact footprint: 36‑VFBGA (36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm) enables dense PCB layouts and miniaturized product designs.
• Industrial robustness: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range supports deployment in demanding commercial and industrial environments.
• Direct LED drive capability: Integrated high‑current LED drivers remove the need for external MOSFETs or buffers for many indicator and IR applications.
