ICE5LP4K-SWG36ITR1K

The ICE5LP4K-SWG36ITR1K is an iCE40 Ultra™ family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a compact 36-WLCSP package. It provides approximately 3,520 logic elements with embedded block RAM and on-chip peripherals targeted at ultra-low power mobile and handheld sensor-management applications.

Designed for integration in space-constrained, low-power systems, this device combines configurable logic, embedded memory, hardened serial interfaces and on-chip oscillators with a 1.14–1.26 V supply range and an industrial temperature rating of −40 °C to 100 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 3,520 logic elements for implementing control, glue logic and sensor pre-processing functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 81,920 bits (≈80 kbits) of block RAM to support buffering and small data structures.
• On-chip DSP  Dedicated DSP resources that support signed and unsigned 8-bit and 16-bit multiply, accumulate and multiply-accumulate functions for sensor pre-processing.
• Hardened Serial Interfaces  Two hardened I²C controllers and two hardened SPI controllers for direct sensor and host connectivity.
• Peripheral I/O  26 general-purpose I/O pins, with three dedicated RGB open-drain LED outputs (user-selectable sink up to 24 mA) and one IR LED open-drain driver (user-selectable sink up to 500 mA).
• Clocking and Oscillators  Two on-chip oscillators (10 kHz LFOSC and 48 MHz HFOSC), one PLL and multiple low-skew global clock resources to simplify timing and wake/sleep management.
• Configuration Options  SRAM configuration via standard SPI or internal nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) for flexible system boot and reconfiguration.
• Power  Ultra-low power architecture with typical standby current as low as 71 μA and a supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V.
• Package & Mounting  36-WLCSP (2.1 × 2.1 mm) surface-mount package (36-XFBGA, WLCSP) for ultra-small form-factor designs.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Industrial temperature rating −40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Mobile & Handheld Devices  Sensor management, low-power control and interface bridging in smartphones, tablets and other consumer handhelds.
• Always-on Sensor Systems  Low-frequency oscillator and low standby current allow always-on sensor monitoring and event detection with minimal power draw.
• Sensor Pre-processing & Fusion  On-chip DSP and embedded memory enable local preprocessing of sensor data to off-load host processors and reduce system latency.
• Peripheral Interface & LED Control  Hardened SPI/I²C controllers, RGB LED outputs and a high-current IR driver support direct connection to sensors, status LEDs and IR components without external drivers.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripherals: Hardened I²C and SPI blocks, oscillators, DSP and LED/IR drivers reduce external components and simplify BOM.
• Low-power operation: Ultra-low standby current and on-chip oscillators support always-on and intermittent-wake use cases in battery-powered products.
• Compact WLCSP package: 36-WLCSP (2.1 × 2.1 mm) enables designs with strict board-area constraints while retaining ample I/O and logic resources.
• Industrial temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C operation makes the device suitable for commercial and industrial handheld environments.
• Flexible configuration: Supports standard SPI configuration and internal nonvolatile configuration memory for multiple system boot modes and field updates.
• On-chip DSP acceleration: DSP blocks for 8/16-bit multiply and MAC operations help off-load application processors and accelerate sensor algorithms.
