LFEC1E-3QN208I

The LFEC1E-3QN208I is a Lattice EC family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) supplied in a 208-pin surface-mount package. It delivers a compact logic fabric with on-chip memory and a broad I/O set intended for mainstream, cost-sensitive embedded and industrial applications.

Built for systems that require moderate logic capacity and flexible interfacing, this device combines 1,500 logic elements, approximately 18 Kbits of on-chip RAM, and 112 user I/Os with an industrial operating range and low-voltage supply to support a range of embedded designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,500 logic elements suitable for mid-density FPGA implementations and control/processing tasks.
• On-chip Memory — Total RAM of 18,432 bits (approximately 18 Kbits) for embedded and distributed memory needs.
• I/O and Package — 112 user I/Os in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 208-PQFP (28 × 28 mm).
• Voltage Supply — Operates from 1.14 V to 1.26 V, enabling integration in low-voltage digital systems.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for temperature-tolerant designs.
• Analog PLLs — Two analog PLLs (device-level capability) for clock management and flexible clocking schemes.
• Family-level Capabilities — LatticeECP/EC family features include flexible I/O standards, dedicated DDR memory interface support, and toolchain support via the ispLEVER design suite (family-level information from datasheet).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement control logic, I/O aggregation, and protocol bridging with industrial temperature tolerance and a compact package.
• Embedded Interfaces — Act as an interface concentrator for sensors, peripherals, and communication endpoints using 112 I/Os and flexible family-level I/O support.
• Prototyping and Evaluation — Mid-density logic and on-chip RAM make this device suitable for proof-of-concept designs and development platforms.
• Cost-Sensitive Systems — Targeted at mainstream, low-cost applications where a balance of logic, memory, and I/O is required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact mid-density solution: 1,500 logic elements provide a balance between capability and board-level footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Generous I/O in a small package: 112 user I/Os in a 208-pin BFQFP enable multiple interfaces without moving to larger packages.
• Embedded memory for local data buffering: Approximately 18 Kbits of on-chip RAM supports small FIFOs, state storage, and distributed memory needs.
• Industrial temperature tolerance: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
• Low-voltage operation: 1.14–1.26 V supply range for integration into modern low-voltage power domains.
• Designed within a supported FPGA family: Family-level tool and interface support (ispLEVER, DDR interface options) helps streamline development and migration.
