LCMXO1200E-3B256C

The LCMXO1200E-3B256C is a MachXO family FPGA device that combines non-volatile configuration with FPGA-style logic and embedded memory. It targets glue-logic, bus bridging, power-up control and general control-logic applications where instant-on behavior, reconfigurability, and a compact package are required.

With 1,200 logic elements, up to 211 I/Os, and on-chip RAM, this surface-mount 256-ball BGA device delivers a balance of integration and flexibility for commercial-grade embedded systems operating across standard logic supply rails and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,200 logic elements (LUTs) for implementing glue logic, control functions, and bus interfacing in a compact FPGA fabric.
• On-chip Memory — Approximately 9.4 Kbits (9,421 bits) of embedded RAM available for distributed and block memory usage within designs.
• I/O — Up to 211 programmable I/Os to support rich peripheral and bus connectivity directly from the package.
• Non-volatile, Instant-on Architecture — Single-chip non-volatile configuration enables instant-on operation without external configuration memory and supports in-field reconfiguration.
• Reconfiguration and Programming — Supports background and JTAG programming workflows and TransFR™ in-field reconfiguration for updating logic while the system operates.
• Clocking — Family-level sysCLOCK PLL support; the LCMXO1200 device includes one analog PLL for clock multiplication, division, and phase shifting.
• Power and Low-Power Modes — Sleep mode capability to significantly reduce static current (up to 100× reduction is supported by the family architecture).
• Package and Mounting — 256-ball caBGA / 256-LFBGA package (14×14 mm), surface-mount mounting for compact board layouts; RoHS compliant.
• Supply and Temperature — Core supply documented at 1.14 V to 1.26 V; family support for common rails (1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) is included in the MachXO family documentation. Commercial operating range: 0 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Glue Logic & System Control — Implement startup sequencing, power-up control and platform glue logic with fast, non-volatile configuration and compact logic capacity.
• Bus Bridging & Interface Adaptation — Bridge or adapt between different bus standards and I/O voltages using abundant I/O and programmable logic.
• Peripheral and Sensor Interfaces — Manage multiplexing, signal conditioning, and protocol conversion for sensors and peripherals with embedded RAM for buffering.
• Field-updatable Control Logic — Deploy in-field updates and logic revisions using TransFR reconfiguration and JTAG-based programming without removing the device.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, single-chip configuration: Non-volatile configuration eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables microsecond power-up behavior.
• High I/O-to-logic density: 211 I/Os paired with 1,200 logic elements supports dense interface designs in a small package.
• On-chip RAM for buffering and state: Approximately 9.4 Kbits of embedded memory simplifies small FIFOs, state machines, and temporary storage without external SRAM.
• Field reconfiguration capability: TransFR and background programming allow in-system updates and iterative firmware/logic improvements.
• Compact BGA footprint: 256-ball caBGA / LFBGA (14×14 mm) surface-mount package reduces PCB area while providing high pin count.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Designed for 0 °C to 85 °C operation with RoHS-compliant packaging suitable for mainstream embedded applications.
