LFEC1E-3T144C

The LFEC1E-3T144C is a commercial-grade field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. It provides a mid-range logic capacity with 1,500 logic elements, 18,432 bits of on-chip RAM, and 97 user I/O pins in a 144-pin LQFP package.

Designed for surface-mount applications, this device operates from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply and is specified for an ambient operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, making it suitable for a variety of commercial embedded designs that require configurable logic and moderate memory and I/O resources.

Key Features

• Core Logic 1,500 logic elements provide programmable logic resources for implementing custom digital functions and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory 18,432 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 18.4 Kbits) for small data buffers, state storage, and fast local memory.
• I/O Resources 97 general-purpose I/O pins to support multiple interfaces, signal routing, and board-level connectivity.
• Power Low-voltage operation with a supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V to support power-sensitive designs.
• Package and Mounting 144-pin LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP, 20×20) optimized for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Grade and Temperature Range Rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant for environmental and material-conformance requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic and interface bridging using the device's 1,500 logic elements and 97 I/O pins.
• Interface and Glue Logic — Replace discrete components by consolidating protocol adapters, bus translators, and timing logic within the FPGA fabric.
• Small Memory Buffering — Use the 18,432 bits of embedded RAM for buffering, FIFOs, or small lookup tables close to logic functions.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 1,500 logic elements offer a mid-range resource set suitable for cost-sensitive designs requiring modest programmable logic capacity.
• Integrated Local Memory: On-chip RAM (18,432 bits) reduces the need for external memory for small buffering and state retention, simplifying PCB layout.
• Generous I/O Count: Ninety-seven I/O pins support multiple peripheral connections and configurable interface implementations without immediate external multiplexing.
• Low-Voltage Operation: 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply range enables integration into low-power supply domains.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 144-pin LQFP / 144-TQFP (20×20) package supports standard SMT assembly and dense board designs.
• Commercial Qualification: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance for mainstream commercial deployments.
