LFE5U-12F-8TG144C

The LFE5U-12F-8TG144C is an ECP5 field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, supplied in a 144-pin LQFP package. It provides a compact, surface-mount FPGA option for commercial designs that require mid-range programmable logic capacity with integrated on-chip memory and flexible I/O.

With 12,000 logic elements, roughly 0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM, 98 user I/Os and a low voltage supply range, this device targets commercial embedded systems where moderate logic density, controlled power, and a small-footprint package are key design considerations.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 12,000 logic elements and 3,000 CLBs provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for custom digital functions, glue logic, and hardware acceleration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.59 Mbits of on-chip RAM (589,824 total bits) to support FIFOs, buffers, and temporary storage without external memory.
• I/O Density — 98 user I/O pins support multiple interfaces and signal lines in a single device footprint.
• Power — Specified supply range from 1.045 V to 1.155 V to match low-voltage system rails and enable predictable power planning.
• Package Options — 144-LQFP surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP (20×20) for compact board-level integration.
• Operating Range — Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for typical commercial environments.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free implementations and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Use as programmable control and logic in commercial devices that need moderate logic density and on-chip memory.
• Interface Bridging and Glue Logic — Implement protocol converters, bus bridging, and custom interface logic using available I/Os and programmable elements.
• Prototyping and Development — Ideal for mid-range FPGA prototyping where a compact 144-LQFP package and moderate resource count are desirable.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 12,000 logic elements paired with approximately 0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM enable both control logic and data buffering without external memory.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package: 98 I/Os in a 144-LQFP footprint reduce board area while providing routing flexibility for multiple interfaces.
• Low-Voltage Operation: Narrow supply range (1.045 V to 1.155 V) supports low-power system designs and simplifies power-supply selection.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation across typical commercial environments.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 144-LQFP surface-mount construction supports automated assembly and compact PCB layouts.
• RoHS Compliant: Supports environmental and manufacturing requirements for lead-free assemblies.
