LFE2-12E-7FN484C

The LFE2-12E-7FN484C is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) in the ECP2 family, offering a mid-range balance of logic capacity, on-chip memory, and I/O density. It is provided in a 484-ball BGA package and is targeted at commercial-grade digital designs that require configurable logic, substantial embedded memory, and a high number of external interfaces.

With 12,000 logic elements, approximately 0.226 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 297 I/Os, this device supports designs that need moderate logic resources together with broad external connectivity while operating from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V core supply.

Key Features

• Core Logic  12,000 logic elements provide a flexible fabric for implementing custom digital logic and moderate-complexity functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.226 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support packet buffers, small data tables, and state storage within the FPGA fabric.
• I/O Density  297 user I/Os enable extensive external interfacing for peripherals, sensors, buses, and high-pin-count system connections.
• Power  Core supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V for the device core power domain.
• 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 and Grade  Commercial temperature rating with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• High-density digital logic designs  Implement custom state machines, protocol handling, and glue logic using 12,000 logic elements and on-chip RAM for local data storage.
• Multi-interface systems  Leverage 297 I/Os to connect multiple external peripherals, sensor arrays, or parallel interfaces without external I/O expanders.
• Embedded processing accelerators  Use the combination of logic capacity and embedded RAM for hardware accelerators, buffering, and real-time data path processing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced resource profile: 12,000 logic elements combined with ~0.226 Mbits of RAM offers a practical mix of logic and memory for mid-range designs.
• High external connectivity: 297 I/Os reduce the need for additional interface components, simplifying board-level design and reducing BOM count.
• Compact BGA package: 484-ball FPBGA (23×23) enables dense PCB layouts while keeping a small footprint for space-constrained systems.
• Commercial temperature rating: 0 °C to 85 °C supports typical commercial applications and environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets lead-free manufacturing requirements for modern assembly processes.
