LFEC15E-4FN484C

The LFEC15E-4FN484C is a commercial-grade EC FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor designed for mainstream programmable-logic applications. It delivers a balanced combination of logic capacity, on-chip memory and I/O density in a 484-ball BGA package for compact, surface-mount implementations.

This device is suited to designs requiring approximately 15,400 logic elements, roughly 358,400 bits of embedded memory, and up to 352 general-purpose I/Os — enabling complex glue logic, interface bridging and memory-interfacing functions in cost-sensitive systems.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity Approximately 15,400 logic elements provide a mid-range fabric for implementing combinational and sequential logic, state machines and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 358,400 bits (≈350 Kbits) of on-chip RAM for block and distributed memory needs within user designs.
• I/O Density & Flexibility Up to 352 I/Os with programmable sysI/O buffer support for a wide range of interface standards (including LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI, LVDS, Bus-LVDS, LVPECL and RSDS).
• Dedicated DDR Support Implements interfaces up to DDR400 (200 MHz) to support external high-speed memory subsystems.
• Clocking Up to four analog PLLs for clock multiplication, division and phase shifting to simplify timing and clock-domain management.
• System-Level Features IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support and ispTRACY internal logic analyzer capability for testability and in-system debug.
• Power and Operating Range Core supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, enabling designs targeting 1.2 V core systems in commercial environments.
• Package & Mounting 484-ball FPBGA (23 × 23 mm) surface-mount package for high I/O count in a compact footprint.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems Implements control logic, protocol conversion and custom peripherals where mid-range logic and on-chip memory are required.
• Memory Interface Bridges Use as a DDR interface controller or translator leveraging the dedicated DDR support and high I/O count.
• Communications and Networking Suitable for packet handling, interface aggregation and glue logic that require many I/Os and flexible signaling standards.
• Consumer and Industrial Electronics Integrates custom logic and peripheral interfaces in compact designs benefiting from the 484-BBGA package and commercial temperature rating.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory A mid-range logic element count paired with approximately 358 Kbits of embedded memory supports programmable designs without external RAM for many use cases.
• High I/O Count 352 I/Os in a 484-ball package provide the pin density needed for multi-interface designs and parallel buses.
• Flexible I/O Standards Programmable I/O buffers accommodate many signaling families, reducing the need for interface translators and simplifying BOM.
• Integrated Clock Management Multiple PLLs enable flexible clocking schemes for multi-domain designs and high-speed interface timing.
• Design and Debug Support Built-in boundary-scan and internal logic analysis capabilities simplify bring-up and in-system debug.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package The 484-FPBGA (23×23 mm) package delivers high I/O density in a compact form factor for space-constrained boards.
