ICE5LP1K-CM36ITR50

The ICE5LP1K-CM36ITR50 is an industrial-grade FPGA IC in the iCE40 Ultra family, optimized for ultra-low power mobile and handheld applications. It provides a compact, highly integrated programmable logic solution with 1,100 logic elements, 65,536 bits of embedded RAM and 26 general-purpose I/Os in a 36-VFBGA package.

Designed for sensor management, low-power always-on functions and compact subsystem control, the device combines on-chip peripherals and oscillators with a low-voltage supply and wide operating temperature range to simplify board-level design and conserve system power.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,100 logic elements (LUT-based) suitable for compact control and sensor-processing functions.
• Embedded Memory — 65,536 bits of on-chip RAM for glue logic, buffering and small data-store needs.
• I/O — 26 programmable I/Os for sensor interfaces, peripheral control and general-purpose signaling.
• On-chip Peripherals (iCE40 Ultra family) — Family features include two hardened SPI controllers and two hardened I2C controllers for direct sensor and processor interfacing.
• On-chip Oscillators (iCE40 Ultra family) — Integrated 10 kHz low-frequency oscillator for low-power always-on tasks and a 48 MHz high-frequency oscillator for active operation.
• LED and IR Drivers (iCE40 Ultra family) — RGB LED outputs with selectable drive current and a 500 mA IR LED open-drain driver for direct LED interfacing.
• DSP Support (iCE40 Ultra family) — On-chip DSP block supporting signed/unsigned 8-bit and 16-bit operations including multiplier and MAC functions.
• Configuration Options (iCE40 Ultra family) — SRAM configuration via standard SPI or internal nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM).
• Power — Low-voltage supply range: 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match low-voltage system rails.
• Package & Mounting — 36-VFBGA (supplier package: 36-UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm) with surface-mount mounting for compact PCB implementation.
• Temperature & Compliance — Industrial operating range −40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Mobile & Handheld Devices — Sensor fusion, user-interface control and auxiliary processing in smartphones, tablets and portable consumer products.
• Always-on Sensor Management — Low-power monitoring, wake-up logic and sensor aggregation where standby current and compact footprint matter.
• Embedded Peripherals & IO Expansion — SPI/I2C bridge, GPIO expansion and protocol adaptation in compact systems.
• Optical/IR Subsystems — Direct-drive RGB status LEDs or IR LED modulation using built-in LED/IR driver capabilities.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated family features: Hardened SPI/I2C controllers, oscillators, DSP block and LED/IR drivers reduce external components and BOM complexity.
• Low-voltage operation: 1.14–1.26 V supply range enables easy integration with modern low-voltage system rails.
• Small, assembly-ready package: 36-VFBGA in a 2.5 × 2.5 mm supplier package supports space-constrained PCB designs.
• Industrial temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployments across a broad set of commercial and industrial environments.
• On-chip memory and DSP: 65,536 bits of embedded RAM and DSP resources help off-load simple preprocessing tasks from the application processor.
• RoHS compliant: Environmentally compliant manufacturing and supply chain compatibility.
