• sysDSP Resources  Includes 6 sysDSP blocks and 24 18×18 multipliers for dedicated multiply–accumulate and signal processing tasks.
• I/O  193 user I/Os available in the 256‑ball fpBGA package to support parallel interfaces and mixed‑signal front ends.
• Clocking  Device configuration supports 2 general‑purpose PLLs and 2 DLLs for flexible clock management and phase adjustment.
• Power  Core voltage supply range from 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match low‑voltage system rails.
• Package & Mounting  256‑FPBGA (17 × 17 mm) package, surface mount mounting type for compact board designs.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Tools  Designed for use with Lattice design tools and supports features such as SPI boot flash interface, dual boot images and boundary scan compliance as described in the ECP2 family data.
• Environmental  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network and Interface Bridging  Use the device’s I/O density and clocking resources for protocol bridging, packet pre‑processing and peripheral aggregation in communication equipment.
• Embedded Control  Suitable for control logic, state machines and sequencing in instrumentation and consumer electronics where mid‑range logic and on‑chip RAM are required.
• Signal Processing  Leverage sysDSP blocks and 18×18 multipliers for fixed‑point filtering, decimation/interpolation and basic DSP pipelines.
• Memory Interface Support  Use dedicated DDR/DDR2 support and DDR registers in I/O cells (as provided by the ECP2 family) for external memory buffering and high‑speed data capture.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid‑Density Fabric:  12,000 logic elements and 1,500 logic blocks offer a compromise between small devices and larger FPGAs for cost‑sensitive designs.
• Integrated DSP and RAM:  On‑chip sysDSP blocks together with approximately 0.226 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external component needs for common signal processing tasks.
• Flexible I/O Count:  193 I/Os in a compact 256‑ball fpBGA enable multiple parallel interfaces while maintaining a small PCB footprint.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package:  256‑FPBGA (17 × 17 mm) simplifies board layout for space‑constrained applications without sacrificing I/O availability.
• Low‑Voltage Core:  1.14 V to 1.26 V core supply range aligns with modern low‑voltage system rails for efficient power design.
• Commercial‑Grade Availability:  Designed for commercial applications with RoHS compliance and standard operating temperature coverage (0 °C to 85 °C).
