LFEC6E-4TN144I

The LFEC6E-4TN144I is a Lattice Semiconductor EC-family field programmable gate array in a 144-LQFP package designed for industrial applications. It provides a mid-range programmable fabric with 6,100 logic elements, approximately 94,208 bits of on-chip RAM and 97 I/O pins for flexible system interfacing.

With a 1.14–1.26 V core supply and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C, this device targets cost-sensitive, mainstream embedded designs that require a balance of integration, I/O flexibility and board-level friendliness in a surface-mount TQFP footprint.

Key Features

• Logic Fabric  Approximately 6,100 logic elements (cells) for implementing custom logic, glue logic and control functions.
• On‑chip Memory  Total RAM of 94,208 bits to support distributed and block memory requirements within designs.
• I/O and Package  97 available I/Os in a 144‑pin LQFP (20 × 20 mm) surface-mount package, enabling a wide range of external interfaces and board-level connections.
• Core Power  Low-voltage core operation from 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match common FPGA power domains and system constraints.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Specified for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet industrial environment requirements.
• PLLs and Clocking  Includes device clock management resources (as documented for the LatticeECP/EC family) to support clock multiply/divide and phase adjustments.
• System-Level Support  Family-level features include IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan and SPI boot flash interface support to aid board bring-up and in-system programming.
• Design Ecosystem  Supported by Lattice ispLEVER design tools and available ispLeverCORE IP modules for faster design implementation (family-level support).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Programmable control logic, sensor aggregation and I/O interfacing for automation equipment where industrial temperature operation is required.
• Embedded Systems  Custom glue logic, protocol bridging and peripheral control for compact embedded products using a TQFP package.
• Memory Interface Designs  Designs that require dedicated DDR interface support and flexible memory handling using the device's on-chip RAM and family DDR features.
• Communications and I/O Bridging  Protocol conversion, bus interfacing and I/O aggregation leveraging the device’s 97 I/Os and flexible buffer support documented for the family.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  6,100 logic elements paired with ~94,208 bits of on-chip RAM provide a practical balance for many mid-size designs without external FPGA fabric.
• High I/O Count in TQFP  97 I/Os in a 144‑pin LQFP package make board-level routing and prototyping easier compared with higher‑pin BGA packages.
• Industrial-Ready Thermal Margin  Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C to support deployment in industrial environments.
• Low-Voltage Core  1.14–1.26 V supply compatibility aligns with modern low-voltage power architectures.
• System Integration Features  Boundary-scan and SPI boot support streamline production test and in-field updates, while PLL resources help manage complex clocking needs.
• Toolchain and IP Availability  Family support within the ispLEVER tool suite and available ispLeverCORE modules accelerate development and reduce integration time.
