• Package and Mounting  256-FPBGA (17×17) surface-mount package for compact PCB footprint and high pin density.
• Power Supply  Core voltage operation from 0.95 V to 1.26 V to match low-voltage system rails and reduce power dissipation in modern designs.
• Operating Temperature and Grade  Commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for a wide set of consumer and industrial-adjacent applications requiring commercial-grade components.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and manufacturing process compatibility.
• LatticeSC/M Family Capabilities  The LatticeSC/M family includes high-performance fabric, multi-megahertz clocking and memory resources—features that align with the platform used by this device series.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Communications  Mid-range packet processing, protocol bridging, and interface adaptation where flexible logic and embedded memory accelerate data path functions.
• Embedded Control  System control, state machines, and custom peripheral aggregation for instrumentation, test equipment, and embedded platforms.
• Protocol and Interface Bridging  Implementing glue logic and protocol conversion between disparate buses and I/O standards using the device’s plentiful I/Os and on-chip RAM.
• Memory-Intensive Functions  Local buffering, FIFO implementation, and data staging for sensors or streaming data applications leveraging the integrated RAM.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory: Combines roughly 15,000 logic elements with about 1.05 Mbits of embedded memory to support both control logic and data buffering on a single device.
• High I/O density: 139 I/Os enable integration of multiple interfaces and peripherals without needing external glue chips, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 256-FPBGA (17×17) surface-mount package supports compact PCB designs while providing high pin-count connectivity.
• Low-voltage core operation: 0.95 V to 1.26 V supply range allows compatibility with modern low-voltage power domains to help reduce system power.
• Commercial-grade suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS-compliant, making it appropriate for a wide range of commercial applications.
