LFE2-12E-5Q208I

The LFE2-12E-5Q208I is an ECP2 family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It provides a mid-range programmable-logic platform with 12,000 logic elements and on-chip embedded memory to support custom digital designs.

Engineered for industrial use, this device combines a high I/O count and low-voltage operation with a wide operating temperature range to support robust, production-grade applications that require configurable logic, I/O interfacing, and embedded RAM.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic – 12,000 logic elements suitable for mid-density custom logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory – 226,304 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.226 Mbits) to store frame buffers, state machines, and small data structures locally.
• I/O Capacity – 131 user I/O pins to connect sensors, peripherals, and external interfaces directly to the FPGA fabric.
• Power – Core supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V to support low-voltage system designs.
• Package – 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly.
• Industrial Temperature Range – Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• RoHS Compliant – Conforms to RoHS requirements for restricted hazardous substances.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation – Implement custom control logic, I/O aggregation, and signal conditioning in factory and process control systems while meeting industrial temperature requirements.
• Embedded Systems – Integrate glue logic, protocol conversion, and peripheral interfaces using on-chip logic and embedded RAM for compact system designs.
• Communications Equipment – Support custom packet processing, interface adaptation, and I/O buffering where a high number of user I/Os and local RAM are beneficial.
• Test & Measurement – Create configurable measurement front-ends, timing controllers, and data aggregation blocks that leverage the device’s logic capacity and I/O count.

Unique Advantages

• Balance of Logic and Memory: 12,000 logic elements paired with ~0.226 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a practical mix for mid-complexity designs without external memory dependencies.
• High I/O Count: 131 user I/Os simplify integration with multiple sensors, actuators, or external interfaces, reducing the need for extra bridging components.
• Industrial-ready Temperature Range: Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C to help ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.
• Low-voltage Core: Narrow core voltage window (1.14 V–1.26 V) supports efficient power budgeting in modern low-voltage systems.
• Surface-mount Packaging: 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) enables compact PCB layouts and standard assembly processes.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets environmental restrictions for hazardous substances to support regulatory requirements.
