LCMXO256E-4M100C

The LCMXO256E-4M100C is a MachXO family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offering non-volatile, instantly available logic in a compact 100-ball BGA package. It combines a dense logic array with flexible I/O and reconfiguration capabilities tailored for control, glue-logic and interface tasks in commercial electronic products.

Designed for applications that require single-chip, secure configuration and fast start-up, this device targets bus bridging, board-level control, power sequencing and peripheral interfacing where compact packaging, low-power modes and in-field updates are important.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 256 logic elements with an array organized into 32 logic blocks, suitable for glue logic and moderate-density control functions.
• On-chip Memory — Approximately 2.0 Kbits of distributed RAM for small data buffering and state storage; no embedded block RAM (EBR) is present for this device variant.
• I/O and Package — Up to 78 programmable I/Os in a 100-ball LFBGA / CSBGA (8×8 mm) surface-mount package, enabling compact board-level integration.
• Power and Voltage — Core supply specified at 1.14 V to 1.26 V; device family supports operation with conventional I/O supply options (1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V) for flexible interfacing.
• Non-volatile, Instant-on — Single-chip non-volatile configuration eliminates external configuration memory and delivers microsecond-scale power-up availability; supports background programming and JTAG-based programming.
• Low-power Modes — Sleep mode available for major static current reduction to help minimize standby power consumption.
• System Support & Security — Design security through on-chip non-volatile configuration (no external bitstream to intercept) and industry-standard support such as IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan and IEEE 1532 in-system programming.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and supplied in RoHS-compliant packaging.

Typical Applications

• Glue Logic and Board-level Control — Implement address decoding, control sequencing and simple state machines without external configuration memory.
• Bus Bridging and Interface Conditioning — Bridge peripherals and adapt signaling between subsystems using the device’s flexible I/O options and 78 available I/Os.
• Power-Up and Reset Sequencing — Fast, deterministic startup and reconfiguration capabilities support sequenced power and reset control for complex systems.
• Peripheral and Human‑Machine Interface — Manage buttons, LEDs, displays and peripheral interfaces in compact, low-power designs.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip, non-volatile configuration — Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables secure, instant-on operation right at power-up.
• Compact BGA package — 100-ball CSBGA (8×8 mm) package supports space-constrained board layouts while providing up to 78 I/Os.
• Field reconfiguration capability — Background programming and JTAG programmability allow in-field updates and rapid iteration without disrupting deployed systems.
• Low-power standby — Sleep mode delivers substantial reductions in static current for energy-conscious designs.
• Clear design flow and tool support — MachXO family devices are supported by Lattice toolchains for implementation and timing closure (as documented in the family datasheet).
