LFE2-12SE-5TN144C

The LFE2-12SE-5TN144C is an ECP2 family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation designed for commercial embedded applications. It integrates 12,000 logic elements, approximately 226,304 bits of on-chip RAM, and 93 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package.

With a low supply voltage range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, this device is positioned for mid-range designs that need a balance of logic density, embedded memory, and compact packaging.

Key Features

• Core Logic  12,000 logic elements provide mid-range programmable fabric for custom logic functions and peripheral offload.
• Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)  1,500 CLBs give a clear view of the device's distributed logic resources for partitioning and design planning.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.226 Mbits (226,304 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, FIFOs, and small data structures.
• I/O Count  93 user I/O pins support a mix of external interfaces and peripheral connections within a single package.
• Power  Operates from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply, suitable for low-voltage system domains and modern power trees.
• Package & Mounting  144-LQFP (supplier package: 144-TQFP 20×20) surface-mount package enables compact board layouts and high-density routing.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to support regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and glue logic  Use the device where 12,000 logic elements and available I/O are required to implement custom control functions, interface arbitration, or peripheral aggregation.
• Interface bridging and protocol adaptation  Ideal for designs that need to translate or buffer signals across multiple interfaces while leveraging on-chip RAM for temporary storage.
• Prototype and proof-of-concept hardware  The 144-LQFP package and surface-mount mounting make it suitable for rapid prototyping and evaluation on development boards that match commercial thermal profiles.
• Custom peripheral offload  Offload deterministic or repetitive tasks from a host processor using the device’s programmable logic and embedded memory.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density  12,000 logic elements deliver a useful mid-range capacity that fits many commercial embedded designs without excess complexity.
• On-chip RAM for local buffering  Approximately 0.226 Mbits of RAM enables local data storage for FIFOs, small lookup tables, and buffering tasks, reducing external memory needs.
• Generous I/O count  93 I/O pins allow integration of multiple peripherals or interfaces into a single FPGA footprint, simplifying board-level routing.
• Compact, surface-mount package  The 144-LQFP (144-TQFP 20×20) package provides a compact solution for space-constrained PCBs and automated assembly workflows.
• Low-voltage operation  The 1.14 V–1.26 V supply window aligns with modern low-voltage system domains and power-efficient designs.
• RoHS compliant  Supports lead-free assembly and regulatory requirements for commercial products.
