LFE5U-12F-6BG256C

The LFE5U-12F-6BG256C is an ECP5 family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It provides a configurable logic fabric with up to 12,000 logic elements, approximately 0.59 Mbits of embedded memory, and 197 general-purpose I/O pins in a compact 256-ball LFBGA package.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, this surface-mount FPGA supports a tightly specified core supply range and an ambient operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, offering a balance of integration, I/O capacity, and on-chip resources for a wide range of programmable-logic designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 12,000 logic elements to implement medium-complexity programmable logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.59 Mbits (589,824 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffers, FIFOs, and small memory cores.
• I/O Resources — 197 I/O pins to support multiple parallel interfaces and external device connectivity.
• Package & Mounting — 256-LFBGA package; supplier device package listed as 256-CABGA (14×14); surface-mount mounting type suitable for compact board designs.
• Power Requirements — Core voltage supply specified from 1.045 V to 1.155 V for predictable power design and regulation.
• Operating Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• RoHS Compliance — Product is RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment.
• ECP5 Family Architecture (documented) — Family-level architecture includes programmable I/O cells, flexible clocking structures, sysDSP slices, memory blocks, SERDES and other fabric features as described in the ECP5 family datasheet.

Typical Applications

• I/O-heavy interface modules — Use the 197 I/O pins to implement protocol bridging, parallel interfaces, and front-end connectivity for systems requiring many signals.
• Embedded control and glue logic — Combine 12,000 logic elements with embedded RAM to implement control sequencing, state machines, and peripheral logic.
• Compact board-level designs — The 256-LFBGA surface-mount package is suited for space-constrained PCBs that require programmable logic integration.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced integration of logic and memory — 12,000 logic elements with approximately 0.59 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduces external memory requirements for many control and buffering tasks.
• High I/O density — 197 I/Os enable flexible interfacing without extensive external multiplexing, simplifying board-level routing and BOM.
• Compact, manufacturable package — 256-ball LFBGA surface-mount package supports compact designs and modern assembly processes.
• Predictable power envelope — Narrow core voltage range (1.045 V–1.155 V) aids in designing stable power rails and regulators.
• Commercial temperature rating — Operates across 0 °C to 85 °C for a wide set of standard commercial applications.
• RoHS compliant — Meets common environmental compliance requirements for commercial electronics manufacturing.
