LCMXO256C-5M100C

The LCMXO256C-5M100C is a MachXO family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device that combines non-volatile instant-on operation with FPGA-style LUT-based logic. Optimized for glue logic, bus bridging, bus interfacing, power-up control and general control logic, this single-chip solution targets applications that require compact, reconfigurable control and interface functions.

Its architecture delivers a high I/O-to-logic density in a compact surface-mount package, with flexible I/O standards and in-field reconfiguration capabilities that simplify system design and maintenance.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 256 logic elements (LUT-based architecture) for implementing glue logic, state machines and interface control.
• I/O 78 I/Os to support multiple external interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Embedded/Distributed Memory Approximately 2.0 Kbits of distributed RAM (LCMXO256 device family value); no embedded block SRAM (EBR) in this density.
• Non-volatile Instant-On Single-chip non-volatile configuration with instant-on power-up in microseconds and no external configuration memory required.
• In-field Reconfiguration TransFR™ reconfiguration enables in-field logic updates while the system operates; SRAM and non-volatile memory are programmable through JTAG with support for background programming.
• Sleep Mode Device supports a sleep mode for significant static current reduction (datasheet notes up to 100× reduction).
• Flexible I/O Buffer (sysIO™) Programmable I/O supports a wide range of interfaces including LVCMOS (1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3V), LVTTL, PCI, LVDS, Bus-LVDS, LVPECL and RSDS.
• PLL Support (Family) MachXO family supports sysCLOCK PLLs; the LCMXO256 density does not include on-chip PLLs.
• Power and Temperature Operates from 1.71 V to 3.465 V with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C (commercial grade).
• Package and Mounting Surface-mount 100-LFBGA / CSPBGA (supplier device package: 100-CSBGA, 8×8 mm).
• Standards and Tools Supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan and IEEE 1532 in-system programming; supported by ispLEVER design tools and common synthesis toolchains (as described in family datasheet).
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Glue Logic and Board-Level Control Implement custom control paths, state machines and signal routing to simplify PCB design and reduce discrete logic count.
• Bus Bridging and Interface Conversion Bridge between different bus standards or implement protocol adapters using the device’s flexible I/O and programmable logic.
• Power-Up and Reset Control Manage system power sequencing and reset logic with fast, deterministic startup thanks to instant-on non-volatile configuration.
• User Interface and Embedded Control Handle button/scanner interfaces, LED drivers and basic embedded control tasks within a compact package.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip, non-volatile solution: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables microsecond-scale power-up.
• Field updatable: TransFR and JTAG background programming let you update logic in-field without disrupting system operation.
• Flexible interface support: sysIO buffer programmability covers a broad set of I/O standards, simplifying multi-protocol designs.
• Low-power options: Sleep mode provides substantial static current reduction for power-sensitive designs.
• Compact packaging: 100-ball LFBGA/CSPBGA surface-mount package conserves board space while delivering 78 I/Os.
• Design tool support: Family-level support in ispLEVER and compatibility with common synthesis toolchains accelerates development.
