ICE5LP4K-CM36ITR1K

The ICE5LP4K-CM36ITR1K is an industrial-grade, ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a compact 36‑VFBGA package. As a member of the iCE40 Ultra family, it combines programmable logic with on-chip peripherals targeted at mobile, handheld and sensor-management applications where low power, integration and small form factor matter.

This device delivers 3520 logic elements, approximately 80 kbits of embedded memory and a range of hardened interfaces and peripherals to simplify sensor interfacing, LED driving and light signal processing while operating over an industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic — 3520 logic elements available for custom logic, control and pre‑processing tasks.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 80 kbits (81920 bits) of on‑chip RAM to support buffering and local data processing.
• Integrated Peripherals — Family features include two hardened I2C controllers and two hardened SPI controllers for direct sensor and host interfaces.
• On‑chip Oscillators & Clocking — Includes LFOSC (10 kHz) and HFOSC (48 MHz) oscillators and one PLL for flexible on‑chip clocking and low‑power wake/sleep strategies.
• DSP and Signal Processing — On‑chip DSP resources for 8‑bit and 16‑bit signed/unsigned operations including multiplier, accumulator and MAC functions to off‑load host processors.
• High‑current LED Drivers — Three 24 mA RGB PWM outputs and one 500 mA IR LED open‑drain driver for direct LED interfaces without external MOSFETs or buffers.
• Low Power Operation — Fabricated on a 40 nm ultra‑low power process with standby currents as low as 71 μA typical (family value).
• I/O and Package — 26 general purpose I/Os in a 36‑VFBGA package (supplier package 36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm) suitable for compact board layouts.
• Power and Temperature — Core supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V and industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Sensor interfacing, power‑efficient always‑on functions and pre‑processing for smartphones, tablets and consumer handhelds.
• Multi‑Sensor Management — Aggregation and pre‑processing of multiple sensor streams using hardened I2C/SPI and on‑chip DSP to reduce host load.
• LED and IR Signaling — Direct RGB LED control and IR transmission (IrDA, barcode emulation) using built‑in high‑current drivers.
• Industrial Handhelds and Control — Compact, industrial‑temperature FPGA for custom I/O expansion, protocol bridging and interface logic in rugged environments.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated sensor interfaces — Hardened I2C and SPI controllers reduce external components and simplify board design for sensor-driven products.
• Built‑in high‑current drivers — RGB and IR LED outputs enable direct LED control without additional MOSFETs or buffers, lowering BOM and board area.
• Efficient on‑chip signal processing — DSP blocks and embedded RAM allow local preprocessing and filtering, reducing host processor overhead and power.
• Compact package — 36‑VFBGA (36‑UCFBGA, 2.5 × 2.5 mm) lets you implement FPGA functionality in space‑constrained designs.
• Industrial‑range reliability — Operation from −40 °C to 100 °C supports a wide range of commercial and industrial deployment scenarios.
• Low standby power — Ultra‑low power process and low standby current support always‑on and battery‑sensitive applications.
