ICE5LP4K-SG48ITR

The ICE5LP4K-SG48ITR is an iCE40 Ultra™ family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 48-VFQFN exposed-pad package designed for ultra-low power mobile and embedded applications. It provides 3520 logic elements, approximately 80 kbits of embedded RAM, and 39 programmable I/O pins, combining compact form factor and on-chip peripherals for sensor management, LED/IR drivers, and low-power always-on tasks.

With a 1.14 V to 1.26 V core supply range and an industrial operating temperature window of −40 °C to 100 °C, this device targets space- and power-constrained designs that require integrated interfaces and signal processing capability in a small surface-mount QFN package.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 3520 logic elements for implementing custom logic, state machines, and glue logic in compact embedded systems.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 80 kbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, small lookup tables, and local data storage for preprocessing tasks.
• I/O and Package — 39 programmable I/O pins in a 48-VFQFN exposed-pad (48-QFN, 7×7 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact board layouts and thermal management via the exposed pad.
• Low-Voltage Operation — Core supply between 1.14 V and 1.26 V for low-power system integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation to meet a wide range of embedded and commercial-industrial environments.
• On-chip Peripherals (Family-Level) — iCE40 Ultra family devices include integrated SPI and I²C controllers, two on-chip oscillators (10 kHz and 48 MHz), DSP functional blocks, RGB PWM outputs and a high-current IR LED driver—features applicable to ICE5LP4K devices within the family.
• Surface-Mount Form Factor — 48-QFN (7×7 mm) footprint and exposed pad for effective PCB routing and thermal dissipation in high-density designs.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Mobile and Handheld Devices — Sensor management, interface bridging and low-power control logic for smartphones, tablets and portable consumer electronics.
• Always-On Sensor Systems — Low-power preprocessing and sensor fusion tasks using on-chip oscillators and DSP blocks to reduce host processor wake-ups.
• LED and IR Control — Direct drive and modulation of service RGB LEDs and IR emitters for status indicators, IrDA functions or barcode emulation (family-level LED/IR features applicable).
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Compact FPGA for interface translation, GPIO expansion and small-scale custom logic in industrial and commercial handheld devices.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated, compact solution: Combines 3520 logic elements, embedded RAM and on-chip peripherals in a 7×7 mm QFN package to minimize BOM and PCB area.
• Low-voltage, low-power operation: Narrow core supply range (1.14–1.26 V) and family-level ultra-low power design allow efficient integration into battery-powered systems.
• Designed for sensor and mobile use cases: Family features such as hardened SPI/I²C controllers, on-chip oscillators and DSP blocks enable sensor interfacing and preprocessing without additional components.
• Industrial temperature rating: −40 °C to 100 °C operation supports deployment in a broad range of commercial and industrial environments.
• Thermally aware package: Exposed-pad 48-VFQFN (48-QFN) package supports effective heat dissipation while maintaining a small PCB footprint.
• RoHS compliant: Suitable for lead-free manufacturing flows and modern assembly requirements.
