ICE5LP1K-SG48ITR50

The ICE5LP1K-SG48ITR50 is an iCE40 Ultra™ family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 48‑lead VFQFN exposed‑pad package. It provides a compact, ultra‑low power programmable logic option with on‑chip memory, hardened peripheral interfaces and dedicated functional blocks for sensor and mobile use cases.

Designed for space‑ and power‑constrained embedded systems, this device targets handheld, industrial and always‑on sensor applications where integrated I/O, low standby current and a small QFN footprint simplify system design and reduce board area.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,100 logic elements (LUT‑based) suitable for control, glue logic and small to medium programmable functions.
• Embedded Memory — 65,536 bits of on‑chip RAM (approximately 64 kbits) for user data, state storage and buffering.
• I/O and Interfaces — 39 programmable I/O pins that can be used as general purpose I/Os or wired to host interfaces; family includes hardened SPI and I²C controllers.
• Low‑Power and Oscillators — Family features include two on‑chip oscillators (10 kHz LFOSC and 48 MHz HFOSC) and ultra‑low power operation with standby currents reported in the family data.
• DSP and LED Drivers — On‑chip DSP functional block for fixed‑width arithmetic operations and dedicated RGB and IR LED driver outputs available in the iCE40 Ultra family.
• Voltage and Temperature — Operates from 1.14 V to 1.26 V and specified for an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C, supporting use in industrial environments.
• Package and Mounting — 48‑VFQFN exposed pad (48‑QFN, 7 × 7 mm) surface mount package for a low‑profile board footprint and thermal pad support.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Manage sensor interfaces, simple preprocessing and glue logic while minimizing power draw and board area.
• Always‑On Sensor Hubs — Implement low‑power sensor monitoring and event detection using the LFOSC for wake/sleep cycles and on‑chip peripherals for interfacing.
• Industrial Controls — Perform interface adaptation, status aggregation and peripheral control within the specified −40 °C to 100 °C operating range.
• LED and IR Driver Functions — Use the family’s dedicated RGB and IR drive capabilities for service LEDs, status indicators or IR communication tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, low‑profile package: 48‑QFN (7 × 7 mm) VFQFN with exposed pad minimizes PCB area and supports thermal management in space‑constrained designs.
• Integrated memory and logic: 1,100 logic elements and 65,536 bits of embedded RAM allow on‑device buffering and control without external SRAM in many use cases.
• Low voltage operation: Narrow supply range (1.14 V–1.26 V) that aligns with low‑power system rails commonly used in portable electronics.
• Industrial temperature rating: Specified to operate from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in harsher ambient environments.
• On‑chip peripherals for system integration: Family features such as hardened SPI/I²C, oscillators and DSP blocks reduce BOM and simplify firmware/hardware partitioning.
• RoHS compliant: Environmentally compliant component suitable for modern manufacturing requirements.
