LFEC1E-4T100I

The LFEC1E-4T100I is an EC Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation designed for industrial applications. It combines a compact 100-pin package with a mid-range logic capacity and on‑chip RAM to implement custom digital functions, interface logic, and control tasks in space-constrained embedded systems.

Key attributes include 1,500 logic elements, 18,432 bits of embedded RAM, 67 general-purpose I/Os, low-voltage operation (1.14 V–1.26 V), and an industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C—making it suitable for robust, low-voltage industrial designs in a surface-mount package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,500 logic elements for implementing custom combinational and sequential logic structures within moderate-complexity designs.
• Embedded Memory — 18,432 bits of on-chip RAM to support small buffers, state storage, and lookup tables directly on the FPGA fabric.
• I/O Count — 67 I/O pins to connect sensors, actuators, interfaces, and peripheral devices without external multiplexing.
• Power — Low-voltage supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V for designs targeting reduced core power consumption.
• Package & Mounting — Surface mount 100-pin LQFP package (supplier device package noted as 100-TQFP, 14 × 14 mm) for compact PCB integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, aligning with industrial-grade environmental requirements.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement custom control logic, sequencing, and interface glue for factory automation and process-control equipment.
• Embedded Interface Bridging — Serve as protocol conversion or parallel/serial interface logic between sensors, MCUs, and peripherals using available I/O.
• Sensor Aggregation — Aggregate and preprocess multiple sensor inputs with on-chip logic and RAM for deterministic, low-latency responses.
• Prototyping and Low-Volume Customization — Provide reprogrammable logic resources in a standard 100-pin package for development platforms and custom low-volume products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 1,500 logic elements coupled with 18,432 bits of RAM enable integration of moderate-complexity functions without external memory.
• Generous I/O in a Compact Package — 67 I/Os in a 100-pin LQFP footprint simplify board layout while supporting multiple peripherals and interfaces.
• Low-Voltage Operation — 1.14 V–1.26 V core supply supports designs focused on reduced power consumption at the FPGA core level.
• Industrial Temperature Rating — Specified −40 °C to 100 °C operation meets common industrial environment requirements.
• Surface-Mount, Standard Footprint — 100-pin surface-mount package facilitates automated assembly and compact PCB designs.
• RoHS Compliant — Facilitates use in lead‑free production processes.
