LFE2-12E-7F484C

The LFE2-12E-7F484C is an ECP2-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It provides a mid-range programmable logic resource set, combining 12,000 logic elements, approximately 0.226 Mbits of embedded RAM, and a high I/O count for flexible integration into embedded designs.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, this surface-mount FPGA targets use cases that require moderate logic capacity, significant on-chip memory, and abundant I/O connectivity within a compact 484-ball BGA footprint.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Capacity 12,000 logic elements (cells) to implement custom logic, state machines, and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.226 Mbits (226,304 bits) of on-chip RAM for data buffering, FIFOs, and local storage.
• I/O Count 297 user I/O pins to support multiple peripherals, parallel interfaces, and board-level connectivity.
• Power Nominal supply operation from 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match low-voltage system rails.
• Package and Mounting 484-BBGA package (supplier device package: 484-FPBGA, 23×23) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Range Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Development Use the 12,000 logic elements and abundant I/O to validate custom digital designs and prototype system functions on a single programmable device.
• Interface Bridging Implement protocol conversion and I/O aggregation where large numbers of signals need to be routed or re-timed between subsystems.
• Embedded Control Deploy as a programmable control engine for embedded systems that require deterministic logic, control state machines, and localized memory.
• Data Buffering and Local Storage Leverage the on-chip RAM for temporary data storage, FIFOs, or buffering in applications with moderate memory needs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory A combination of 12,000 logic elements and 226,304 bits of on-chip RAM supports a wide range of mid-scale designs without immediate need for external memory.
• High Pin Count for System Integration 297 I/O pins enable direct interfacing to multiple peripherals and subsystems, reducing the need for external I/O expanders.
• Compact, Surface-Mount BGA Package The 484-ball BGA (484-FPBGA, 23×23) provides a compact footprint suited to space-constrained PCBs while maintaining signal routing flexibility.
• Low-Voltage Operation Operates from 1.14 V to 1.26 V to fit modern low-voltage system rails and conserve board-level power budgeting.
• Commercial Temperature Grade Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C to meet typical commercial environment requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliance supports deployment in products requiring restricted-substance conformance.
