LCMXO256C-5MN100C

The LCMXO256C-5MN100C is a MachXO family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) optimized for glue logic, bus bridging, bus interfacing, power-up sequencing and general control logic. It combines non-volatile configuration and FPGA-style LUT-based logic to deliver instant-on operation and flexible reconfiguration for commercial embedded designs.

This surface-mount device provides 256 logic elements, up to 78 general-purpose I/O pins in a compact 100-ball csBGA / 100-LFBGA package, and a broad supply voltage window to simplify multi-voltage system integration.

Key Features

• Non-volatile instant-on configuration – Single-chip non-volatile architecture enables instant-on behavior and eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• Reconfigurable logic – 256 logic elements suitable for glue logic and control tasks; supports background reconfiguration and in-field logic updates.
• I/O capacity and flexibility – 78 I/O pins in the 100-ball package with programmable sysIO buffers that support multiple interface standards including LVCMOS (3.3/2.5/1.8/1.5/1.2), LVTTL, PCI, LVDS, Bus-LVDS, LVPECL and RSDS.
• Embedded and distributed memory – Approximately 2.0 Kbits of distributed RAM in the LCMXO256 device family to support small on-chip data storage and buffering; no embedded block SRAM.
• Power and voltage support – Wide operating supply range (1.71 V to 3.465 V) to accommodate common system rails and simplify mixed-voltage designs.
• Low-power modes – Family features include sleep mode capability for significant static current reduction during idle periods.
• System-level support – IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan and IEEE 1532 in-system programming support; JTAG-accessible programming and background programming of non-volatile memory.
• Package and mounting – Surface-mount 100-CSBGA (8×8 mm) / 100-LFBGA options for compact board layouts; commercial grade operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• No analog PLLs on this device – The LCMXO256 device does not include dedicated analog PLLs (family table indicates zero PLLs for this density).

Typical Applications

• Glue Logic and Bus Bridging – Implement address decoding, level translation and protocol bridging between system buses.
• Power-Up and Reset Control – Manage power sequencing, reset distribution and supervisory control with instant-on configuration.
• User Interface and Control – Drive buttons, LEDs, switches and simple state machines for embedded control panels and appliances.
• Sensor and Peripheral Interfacing – Aggregate and condition signals from sensors or peripherals using flexible I/O standards and on-chip distributed RAM.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on operation: Non-volatile single-chip configuration removes the need for external flash and delivers immediate startup behavior.
• Compact, surface-mount packaging: 100-ball csBGA / 100-LFBGA packages enable small form-factor board designs without sacrificing I/O count.
• Flexible multi-standard I/O: Programmable sysIO buffers support a wide range of voltage levels and interface standards to ease system integration.
• Field reprogrammability: JTAG-accessible programming and background non-volatile memory updates allow in-field logic changes with minimal disruption.
• Commercial temperature rating: Designed for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for mainstream embedded and industrial-adjacent electronics.
• Lower BOM and simplified board design: Built-in non-volatile configuration and integrated I/O reduce external components and simplify system architecture.
