LCMXO1200E-4BN256I

The LCMXO1200E-4BN256I is a MachXO family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Lattice Semiconductor designed for industrial applications. It combines non-volatile configuration and an array of LUT-based logic with embedded memory to address glue logic, bus bridging, power-up control and general control-logic roles.

Built for compact, high I/O-to-logic density designs, this device delivers approximately 1,200 logic elements, roughly 9.4 Kbits of on-chip RAM, and up to 211 user I/Os in a 256-ball package. It supports instant-on operation and in-field reconfiguration capabilities suitable for industrial-temperature systems.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 1,200 logic elements organized across 150 logic blocks provide LUT-based implementation for glue logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  About 9,421 bits (≈9.4 Kbits) of on-chip RAM for small FIFOs, state machines and context storage.
• I/O Density  Up to 211 user I/Os enable dense peripheral, bus and sensor interfacing in a single device.
• Non-volatile, Instant-on Architecture  Family-level features include single-chip non-volatile configuration and instant-on behavior—no external configuration memory required.
• In-field Reconfiguration  Supports background programming and TransFR™ reconfiguration for updating logic while the system operates.
• Clocking  Includes on-chip sysCLOCK PLL support as specified for the MachXO family to enable clock multiplication, division and phase shifting.
• Flexible Packaging & Mounting  Surface-mount package options include 256-LFBGA / 256-CABGA (14×14 mm) formats for space-constrained board designs.
• Industrial Temperature  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for industrial environments.
• Voltage Supply  Specified supply range: 1.14 V to 1.26 V.
• System-level Support  Family-level capabilities include JTAG programmability and IEEE boundary-scan compliance to simplify manufacturing and in-system updates.

Typical Applications

• Glue Logic & Bus Bridging  Replace discrete logic for bus interfacing, signal translation and board-level glue in industrial controllers and embedded systems.
• Power-up and Reset Control  Implement deterministic power sequencing, reset distribution and supervisory functions using non-volatile instant-on logic.
• Peripheral & Sensor Interfacing  High I/O count supports dense sensor arrays, custom peripheral protocols and board-level I/O consolidation.
• In-field Programmable Control  Use background programming and in-field reconfiguration to update control logic or field features without complete system downtime.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, single-chip configuration: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and shortens system boot time.
• High I/O-to-logic density: 211 I/Os paired with ~1,200 logic elements reduce the need for multiple devices and simplify BOM.
• Industrial temperature rating: Operation from −40 °C to 100 °C supports harsh-environment deployments.
• Compact BGA packaging: 256-ball BGA/LFBGA options deliver a small board footprint while preserving routing density.
• In-field reconfigurability: Background programming and TransFR™ capabilities enable rapid feature updates and product evolution in the field.
• Design-tool support: MachXO family devices are supported by vendor design tools for synthesis, place-and-route and timing verification.
