LFSCM3GA15EP1-5F256C

The LFSCM3GA15EP1-5F256C is a commercial-grade SCM-series Field Programmable Gate Array from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. This device combines a high-density logic fabric with embedded RAM and a large I/O count in a compact 256-pin BGA package suitable for commercial embedded applications.

With 15,000 logic elements, approximately 1.05 Mbits of on-chip RAM and 139 user I/Os, the device is designed for applications that require moderate logic density, substantial local memory, and a high number of external interfaces while operating within a 0 °C to 85 °C temperature range and a 0.95 V to 1.26 V supply window.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  15,000 logic elements for implementing complex combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.05 Mbits of total on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and local data storage.
• I/O Count & Flexibility  139 I/O pins suitable for multi‑interface systems and high pin‑count peripheral connectivity.
• Package & Mounting  256-FPBGA (17×17) / 256-BGA surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power Supply  Core operating range from 0.95 V to 1.26 V to match low-voltage system rails.
• Operating Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C ambient operation.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant.
• Family-Level Architecture  Part of the Lattice SC/M family, which provides a high-performance FPGA fabric and family-level features such as block RAM and advanced clocking (as described in the SC/M family data).

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Control and coordination logic in commercial products where a balance of logic resources, embedded memory, and I/O density is required.
• Communications & Connectivity  Protocol bridging, interface adaptation, and I/O aggregation that benefit from abundant I/Os and on-chip memory for buffering.
• Data Acquisition & Processing  On-device buffering and preprocessing using embedded RAM and logic elements for sensor or peripheral data streams.
• Prototyping & System Integration  Platform for evaluating custom logic, proof-of-concept designs, and integrating multiple peripheral interfaces on a single device.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: Combines 15,000 logic elements with approximately 1.05 Mbits of embedded memory and 139 I/Os, reducing external components and board complexity.
• Compact BGA package: 256-FPBGA (17×17) package enables a small board footprint for space-constrained commercial designs.
• Low-voltage operation: 0.95 V to 1.26 V supply range supports integration into modern low-voltage systems.
• Commercial temperature rating: Designed for 0 °C to 85 °C environments common to many consumer and commercial applications.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assemblies.
• Family architecture benefits: Leverages the Lattice SC/M family architecture for established FPGA fabric, embedded memory structures, and clocking resources described in the family data.
