ICE5LP2K-SG48ITR50

The ICE5LP2K-SG48ITR50 is an iCE40 Ultra™ family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Lattice Semiconductor. It delivers 2,048 logic elements with approximately 80 kbits of embedded memory and a rich set of on-chip peripherals aimed at ultra-low power mobile and sensor-management applications.

Packaged in a 48‑VFQFN exposed pad (48‑QFN, 7×7) and rated for industrial temperature operation, this surface‑mount device targets always‑on sensor interfaces, LED/IR drive functions, and compact embedded designs that require low standby current and tight integration.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,048 logic elements to implement custom logic, state machines, and peripheral control in a compact FPGA.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 80 kbits of on‑chip RAM (81,920 bits) for frame buffers, FIFOs, and local data storage.
• On‑chip Interfaces — Hardened SPI and I²C controllers (family feature) to simplify direct sensor and processor interfacing without external controllers.
• Integrated Oscillators — Two on‑chip oscillators (10 kHz LFOSC and 48 MHz HFOSC) to support low‑power always‑on modes and higher‑speed tasks.
• LED and IR Drivers — Embedded RGB PWM outputs with up to 24 mA drive and a 500 mA IR LED drive capability (family feature) to reduce external component count for service LEDs and IR applications.
• DSP and Clocking — On‑chip DSP blocks supporting 8‑ and 16‑bit signed/unsigned multiply/accumulate functions and a PLL for flexible clocking (family feature).
• Power and Supply — Operates from a low core voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V to support low‑power system designs.
• Package and I/O — 39 available I/Os in a 48‑VFQFN exposed pad package (48‑QFN, 7×7) optimized for small PCB area and thermal dissipation.
• Temperature and Reliability — Industrial operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in commercial and industrial environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for global electronics manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Always‑on sensor management, power‑efficient peripheral control, and compact logic integration in smartphones, tablets, and handhelds.
• Multi‑Sensor Systems — Sensor preprocessing and fusion where local DSP, SPI/I²C interfaces, and embedded memory reduce host processor load.
• Indicator and IR Functions — Service LED control or IR link/emulation using integrated RGB PWM and high‑current IR drive without external MOSFETs.
• Embedded Control and GPIO Expansion — Small‑form programmable I/O expansion, custom protocol bridging, and level‑shifting functions in space‑constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated feature set: Embedded memory, on‑chip oscillators, hardened SPI/I²C, DSP blocks, and LED/IR drivers reduce external components and BOM complexity.
• Ultra‑low power architecture: Family data shows standby currents as low as 71 μA typical, enabling always‑on applications with minimal power draw.
• Compact, thermally capable package: 48‑VFQFN exposed pad (7×7) provides a small PCB footprint with improved heat dissipation for continuous operation.
• Industrial temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment across commercial and industrial environments.
• Flexible clocking and DSP support: On‑chip LFOSC/HFOSC, PLL, and DSP MAC functions enable efficient local processing and timing without extensive external circuitry.
