LFE3-17EA-8LMG328C

The LFE3-17EA-8LMG328C is an ECP3 family FPGA IC from Lattice Semiconductor, built on a reconfigurable SRAM fabric optimized for cost-sensitive, high-performance designs. This commercial-grade device integrates 17,000 logic elements, on-chip RAM, DSP resources and high-speed I/O to address embedded systems, communications and signal-processing applications that require a balance of performance and integration.

Designed for surface-mount assembly in a 328-LFBGA (328-CSBGA, 10×10 mm) package, the device operates from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply and across a commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, with RoHS compliance noted.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 17,000 logic elements for implementing glue logic, state machines and moderate-complexity FPGA designs.
• On-chip Memory 716,800 bits of total RAM (approximately 0.72 Mbits) to support buffering, FIFOs and embedded data storage.
• High-performance DSP sysDSP architecture with dedicated multiplier resources (table data lists 24 18×18 multipliers) for multiply-accumulate and signal-processing functions.
• Embedded SERDES Integrated SERDES capability with device-family data rates from 150 Mbps to 3.2 Gbps and SERDES channel support appropriate to the 328 csBGA package (2 channels / 116 I/Os in the package mapping).
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 116 user I/Os with programmable sysI/O buffer support for a wide range of standards, on-chip termination and source-synchronous features per the ECP3 family data.
• Clocking and Timing Multiple clock-management resources consistent with the family: PLLs and DLLs (family table indicates 2 PLLs and 2 DLLs for the ECP3-17 class).
• Power and Packaging Surface-mount 328-LFBGA (328-CSBGA, 10×10 mm) package, supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V and a 1.2 V core power reference in the family data.
• Commercial Temperature Grade & Compliance Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking Use embedded SERDES and flexible I/O to implement serial links, protocol bridging and network aggregation functions.
• Signal Processing Leverage sysDSP slices and dedicated multipliers for filtering, FFTs and other DSP workloads in embedded devices.
• Embedded Control & Interface Implement control logic, peripheral bridging and custom I/O handling using the device’s 17K logic elements and 116 general-purpose I/Os.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory Combines 17,000 logic elements with ~0.72 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support mixed logic and buffering needs without external RAM for many designs.
• Integrated DSP resources Dedicated multipliers and the sysDSP architecture reduce the need for external DSP components in signal-processing applications.
• High-speed serial capability Embedded SERDES with multi-hundred-Mbps to multi-Gbps support enables implementation of modern serial protocols in a compact package.
• Flexible I/O standards Programmable sysI/O buffers and on-chip termination simplify interfacing to a wide range of external devices and memory types.
• Compact, surface-mount package The 328-CSBGA (10×10 mm) package provides a small footprint option with 116 user I/Os for space-constrained designs.
• Commercial-grade availability Operates across a 0 °C to 85 °C range suitable for many consumer and industrial-adjacent applications where commercial temperature grade is acceptable.
