ICE65P04F-TCB284C

The ICE65P04F-TCB284C is a surface-mount, ultra low-power SRAM mobile FPGA in the iCE65 P-Series family. It integrates programmable logic, on-chip RAM, a phase-locked loop (PLL) and flexible I/O in a compact 284-CSPBGA (12×12) package for space-constrained designs.

Designed for hand-held and battery-powered applications, this device targets cost-sensitive, high-volume embedded systems that require low static and dynamic power, flexible configuration options, and a rich set of I/O standards.

Key Features

• Core Architecture: Contains 3,520 logic elements (logic cells) organized as programmable logic blocks with LUT4-based combinational logic and flip-flops.
• On-chip Memory: Approximately 80 Kbits of embedded RAM implemented as twenty 4Kbit RAM blocks for data buffering and local storage.
• Programmable I/O: Up to 174 programmable I/O pins with support for multiple I/O banks and a variety of I/O standards; four independently powered I/O banks are supported in the family.
• Clocking and PLL: Integrated PLL capable of clock multiplication/division with outputs up to 533 MHz to support display, SerDes and memory interface use cases.
• Configuration Options: Multiple reprogramming methods including self-configuration from external SPI serial Flash, slave configuration via an SPI-like serial interface (as fast as 20 µs), and on-chip nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) for secure, volume production deployment.
• Low Power Operation: Family-level static and standby currents documented at microamp ranges (example: ~45 µA core operating current at 0 kHz and ~9+ µA at f ≤ 32.768 kHz typical), enabling long battery life in low-activity systems.
• Package and Mounting: 284-VFBGA / 284-CSPBGA (12×12) package, surface-mount mounting type for compact PCB integration.
• Voltage and Temperature: Core supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Standards and Compliance: RoHS compliant.
• Development Ecosystem: Family supports iCEcube development tools with VHDL and Verilog synthesis, place-and-route, IP libraries, and Windows and Linux support (as part of the iCE65P family offering).

Typical Applications

• Hand-held and mobile devices: Low static and dynamic power profile and integrated configuration options make this device suitable for battery-powered user interfaces and control functions.
• Display and SerDes interfaces: Integrated PLL with up to 533 MHz outputs supports display timing and serializer/deserializer clocking requirements.
• Memory and buffer controllers: On-chip RAM blocks provide local data buffering for memory interface logic and small data pipelines.
• Embedded control and sensor aggregation: Flexible I/O and multiple voltage-supported I/O banks simplify interfacing to sensors, peripherals, and host processors.

Unique Advantages

• Low-power profile: Documented microamp-level standby/core currents support designs that prioritize long battery life and low idle power consumption.
• Secure, flexible configuration: On-chip NVCM plus external SPI flash and fast slave configuration modes provide options for secure, production-ready system deployment.
• High I/O density in compact package: Up to 174 programmable I/O pins in a 284-CSPBGA (12×12) footprint reduces board area while maintaining interface flexibility.
• Integrated high-speed clocking: Built-in PLL with outputs up to 533 MHz enables internal clock generation for timing-sensitive interfaces without external clocking silicon.
• Ready development flow: Family-level support for iCEcube tools and common HDL flows (VHDL/Verilog) accelerates design and brings development board and IP resources.
