ICE5LP4K-SG48ITR50

The ICE5LP4K-SG48ITR50 is an iCE40 Ultra™ field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 48‑VFQFN exposed pad package. Designed as an ultra‑low power FPGA and sensor manager, this device targets mobile and embedded applications that require compact, low‑power programmable logic with integrated interfaces and on‑chip resources.

With 3,520 logic elements, approximately 81,920 bits of embedded RAM, and 39 I/Os, the device delivers a balanced mix of programmable logic, on‑chip memory, and peripheral functionality for sensor pre‑processing, LED and IR drive, and protocol bridging in industrial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 3,520 logic elements suitable for mid‑density programmable designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 81,920 bits of on‑chip RAM to support buffering and small data processing tasks.
• I/O and Package  39 general purpose I/Os in a surface‑mount 48‑VFQFN exposed pad (48‑QFN, 7×7) package for compact board designs.
• Low Voltage Core  Core supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V for low power operation.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for use in industrial environments.
• On‑chip Peripherals (family‑level)  Family features include integrated SPI and I2C controllers, two on‑chip oscillators (10 kHz and 48 MHz), DSP blocks, RGB PWM outputs, and a high‑current IR LED driver—capabilities applicable to designs using the iCE40 Ultra family.
• Mounting Style  Surface mount device with exposed pad for thermal management on compact PCBs.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Smartphones and Handheld Devices  Use as a low‑power sensor manager and preprocessing engine for peripherals and user‑interface functions.
• Always‑On Sensor Systems  Implement always‑on monitoring and wake logic using on‑chip oscillators and low standby power characteristics of the iCE40 Ultra family.
• LED and IR Control  Drive service RGB LEDs and IR LEDs directly with integrated PWM and high‑current driver capabilities (family‑level features) for status indication or IR signaling.
• Multi‑Sensor Interfaces  Aggregate and pre‑process sensor data using embedded memory and DSP blocks before passing processed data to a host processor.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Solderable Package:  48‑VFQFN exposed pad (48‑QFN, 7×7) enables high‑density PCB layouts while supporting thermal dissipation.
• Mid‑Density Logic with On‑Chip RAM:  3,520 logic elements and ~81,920 bits of embedded memory simplify designs that need local buffering and logic without external RAM.
• Low Voltage Core:  1.14 V–1.26 V supply range supports low power budgets in battery‑sensitive applications.
• Industrial Temperature Rating:  Operation from −40 °C to 100 °C makes the device suitable for industrial embedded deployments.
• Integrated Peripherals (family‑level):  On‑chip interfaces and functional blocks such as SPI/I2C controllers, oscillators, DSP, RGB PWM, and IR drive reduce BOM and simplify system integration for sensor and interface tasks.
