LCMXO640E-4FT256I

The LCMXO640E-4FT256I is a MachXO family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC designed for glue logic, bus bridging, bus interfacing, power-up control and general control logic. It combines non-volatile instant-on behavior with a compact, surface-mount 256-ball BGA package and an industrial operating temperature range for robust deployment in commercial and industrial systems.

Key Features

• Core logic — 640 logic elements (LUTs) for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• I/O density — 159 user I/Os to support multiple external interfaces and system interconnects.
• Non‑volatile, instant-on architecture — Single-chip configuration without external configuration memory and fast power-up behavior as described for the MachXO family.
• In-field reconfiguration (TransFR) — Family-level TransFR reconfiguration support for updating logic while the system operates.
• Low-power modes — MachXO family sleep mode enables large reductions in static current for power-sensitive applications.
• Embedded memory (family data) — LCMXO640 devices are identified with approximately 6.1 Kbits of distributed RAM at the family level.
• Package & mounting — 256-LBGA package; supplier device package listed as 256-FTBGA (17×17), surface-mount.
• Voltage supply — Operates within a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply window.
• Industrial grade — Specified operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C for industrial environments.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Glue logic — Implement address decoding, bus arbitration and custom control glue between ICs with compact, non‑volatile logic.
• Bus bridging and interfacing — Route and translate signals across buses using the high I/O count and flexible I/O buffers of the MachXO family.
• Power-up and system control — Handle power sequencing, reset control and supervision tasks with instant-on configuration and single-chip non-volatile operation.
• Control logic — Replace hardwired state machines and discrete logic with reconfigurable logic elements for faster design iterations and in-field updates.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, single-chip configuration: Eliminates external configuration memory and enables rapid system start-up.
• High I/O-to-logic ratio: 159 I/Os combined with 640 logic elements provide a practical balance for interface-heavy control designs.
• In-field reconfiguration: TransFR support allows updates to logic while the system remains operational, simplifying maintenance and feature upgrades.
• Industrial temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C specification supports deployment in a wide range of commercial and industrial environments.
• Compact BGA packaging: 256-ball BGA in a surface-mount form factor helps reduce board area while preserving high pin count.
• RoHS compliant: Meets common environmental requirements for modern electronic products.
