LCMXO256C-3MN100I

The LCMXO256C-3MN100I is a MachXO family FPGA optimized for glue logic, bus interfacing, power-up control and compact control tasks. It combines non-volatile configuration, instant-on capability and a compact logic fabric—providing a single-chip programmable solution for industrial applications.

With 256 logic elements and 78 I/O pins in a 100-ball LFBGA/CSPBGA package, this device targets designs that require rapid startup, flexible I/O and industrial temperature operation while minimizing external components.

Key Features

• Non-volatile, instant-on configuration  Single-chip non-volatile architecture enables power-up in microseconds without external configuration memory.
• Reconfigurable logic  Infinitely reconfigurable fabric supports in-field updates; SRAM-based logic can be reconfigured in milliseconds and non-volatile memory can be programmed through JTAG.
• Low-power modes  Sleep mode capability reduces static current by up to 100× for power-sensitive designs.
• TransFR™ in-field reconfiguration  Supports background logic updates while the system remains operational for minimal downtime.
• Logic density  Approximately 256 logic elements (LUTs) provide compact programmable logic for glue logic and control functions.
• I/O and package  78 available I/Os in a 100-LFBGA / 100-CSBGA (8×8 mm) package for high pin-to-logic density in compact board layouts.
• Flexible I/O standards  Programmable I/O buffer support for multiple interface standards (including various LVCMOS levels, LVTTL, PCI, LVDS family) to simplify board-level interface design.
• Voltage and temperature range  Supports a wide supply range from 1.71 V to 3.465 V and industrial operating temperature from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Embedded and distributed memory (family)  The MachXO family includes distributed RAM capability; the family datasheet lists approximately 2.0 Kbits of distributed RAM for the LCMXO256 member.
• System support  Includes IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan and supports in-system programming (IEEE 1532) and JTAG-based memory programming.

Typical Applications

• Glue logic and bus bridging  Implement address decoding, bus arbitration and interface translation in compact systems where rapid startup and reconfigurability are required.
• Power-up and system control  Use instant-on configuration for power sequencing, reset management and supply monitoring in industrial equipment.
• Peripheral and sensor interfacing  Flexible I/O and multiple supported standards enable direct interfacing with sensors, memory and peripheral buses.
• Embedded control and state machines  Deploy compact control logic and deterministic state-machine implementations with low BOM impact.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip non-volatile solution: Reduces BOM and removes the need for external configuration memory by storing configuration on-chip.
• Fast system availability: Instant-on capability enables microsecond-scale startup for applications that require immediate operation after power-up.
• Field reprogrammability: TransFR and JTAG access allow in-field updates and background programming without removing the device from the system.
• Compact, high pin-to-logic density: 78 I/Os with ~256 logic elements in a 100-ball BGA package supports dense designs in space-constrained boards.
• Industrial robustness: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation and available in RoHS-compliant packaging suitable for industrial environments.
• Flexible power and I/O support: Wide supply range (1.71 V–3.465 V) and programmable I/O standards simplify integration across voltage domains.
