Key Features

• Programmable Logic — 960 programmable logic blocks (PLBs), totaling 7,680 logic cells (LUT + flip-flop) for combinational and sequential logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory — 131,072 total RAM bits implemented as 32 × 4Kbit RAM4K blocks for on-chip buffering and data storage.
• I/O and Bank Architecture — 95 programmable I/O pins supported by an architecture with four independently powered I/O banks; device family supports 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V and 1.5V I/O standards.
• Low-Power Operation — Part of the iCE65 ultra low-power family with family-level static current characteristics and low dynamic power design; typical device-level current at 0 kHz, 1.0 V is documented in the datasheet.
• Performance — Internal performance capability up to 256 MHz as described for the iCE65 family.
• Flexible Configuration — Reprogrammable via external SPI serial Flash or downloaded from a processor using an SPI-like serial interface; supports Nonvolatile Configuration Memory (NVCM) for ASIC-like in-system programming.
• Supply and Temperature — Core supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V; commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 132-VFBGA / CSPBGA package; supplier package listed as 132-CSBGA (8×8).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Development Ecosystem — Supported by the iCEcube development tools with Windows and Linux support, VHDL and Verilog synthesis, place-and-route, and IP libraries.

Typical Applications

• Portable and Handheld Devices — Low-power programmable logic for battery-powered control, user interfaces, and peripheral aggregation.
• Consumer Electronics — On-device glue logic, protocol bridging, and customizable I/O to adapt to multiple external interfaces and standards.
• Embedded Processing Support — Local pre- and post-processing, buffering, and timing adaptation alongside a host processor using SPI-based configuration and data pathways.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Low-Power FPGA: Combines 7,680 logic cells and on-chip RAM in a small 132-ball BGA package to save board space while supporting low static and dynamic power operation.
