LFEC20E-3FN484C

The LFEC20E-3FN484C is an EC-family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in a 484‑ball BGA package. It provides a balance of programmable logic, embedded memory and high I/O density for mainstream, cost-sensitive designs.

Built on the LatticeECP/EC family architecture, the device targets general-purpose embedded and system applications that require up to 19,700 logic elements, a large I/O count and flexible clocking and memory resources within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Density – 19,700 logic elements suitable for mid-range FPGA designs that need substantial combinational and sequential logic resources.
• Embedded Memory – Approximately 0.434 Mbits (434,176 bits) of total on-chip RAM for frame buffers, FIFOs and configuration storage within the FPGA fabric.
• High I/O Count – 360 user I/Os to support multi-channel interfaces and parallel bus implementations without extensive external glue logic.
• Package and Mounting – 484‑BBGA (484‑FPBGA, 23 × 23 mm) surface-mount package for compact, board-level integration.
• Clocking – Family-level support for multiple analog PLLs, enabling clock multiplication, division and phase shifting for system timing (up to four PLLs on LFEC20 devices).
• Power Supply – Low‑voltage core operation with supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match modern low-voltage system power rails.
• Operating Range – Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for typical embedded and enterprise equipment environments.
• Compliance – RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental considerations.

Typical Applications

• Consumer and Commercial Embedded Systems – Implements application-specific control logic, user interfaces and peripheral management within compact system designs.
• Communications and Networking – Supports multi‑lane I/O and on‑chip memory for protocol adaptation, packet buffering and interface bridging.
• Memory Interface Systems – Family support for dedicated DDR memory interfaces enables integration with external DDR devices for high-bandwidth buffering and storage.
• Industrial Control and Instrumentation (Commercial Grade) – Enables motion control, data aggregation and real-time processing in temperature-controlled commercial installations.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory – Combines roughly 19,700 logic elements with approximately 0.434 Mbits of embedded RAM to support complex control and buffering functions on a single device.
• High I/O Integration – 360 I/Os reduce the need for external interface components and simplify board-level routing for multi-channel systems.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package – 484‑BBGA (23 × 23 mm) packaging provides a high pin-count footprint while minimizing PCB area.
• Low-Voltage Core – Core supply range (1.14 V–1.26 V) aligns with modern low-voltage power architectures for efficient power distribution.
• Commercial Temperature Compatibility – Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to match typical commercial deployment environments.
• RoHS Compliant – Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious product designs.
