Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 15,000 logic elements (logic cells) to implement mid-density custom logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.05 Mbits of total on-chip RAM, providing local buffering, FIFOs and storage for embedded algorithms.
• I/O Count and Package  139 I/Os in a 256-FPBGA (17×17) package, enabling rich peripheral connectivity and board-level routing flexibility.
• Low-Voltage Core  Core supply range from 0.95 V to 1.26 V to support modern low-voltage system designs.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for a wide range of commercial and enterprise applications.
• Family Architecture (LatticeSC)  Part of the LatticeSC family which includes high-performance FPGA fabric, high-speed SERDES and PURESPEED™ I/O capabilities, sysMEM embedded block RAM and an extensive clocking network (as described in the SC family data sheet).
• Clocking and Timing  Family-level features include multiple PLLs and DLLs and high-frequency clocking infrastructure for designs that require precise and flexible clock management.
• Standards and Configuration  Family documentation details system-level features such as in-system configuration support and boundary-scan; consult the series data for specific configuration options.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured to RoHS compliance requirements.

Typical Applications

• Network and Communications Modules  Use the device’s programmable fabric and family SERDES/I/O capabilities to implement protocol handling, packet buffering and custom interface logic.
• Embedded System Control  Mid-density logic and on-chip RAM make it suitable for system control tasks, peripheral aggregation and hardware acceleration of algorithms.
• Data Acquisition and DSP Front-Ends  On-chip RAM and flexible I/O support buffering, data alignment and pre-processing ahead of host processors.
• Custom Interface Bridges  Large I/O count and configurable I/O standards allow integration between disparate board-level interfaces and sensors or legacy peripherals.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  Combines approximately 15,000 logic elements with about 1.05 Mbits of embedded RAM for designs that need both programmable logic and local storage.
• Versatile I/O in Compact Package  139 user I/Os in a 256-FPBGA (17×17) package offers a compact footprint with broad connectivity for dense board designs.
• Low-Voltage Operation  Core supply range down to 0.95 V supports integration into low-power, modern system architectures.
• Family-Level High-Performance Features  As a member of the LatticeSC family, designers can leverage the series’ high-performance fabric, embedded block RAM (sysMEM) and advanced clocking resources described in the series documentation.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, aligning with many commercial and enterprise product environments.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing supports environmental compliance goals.
