• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.05 Mbits of total on-chip RAM for data buffering, FIFOs and packet/stream processing.
• I/O  139 general-purpose I/Os for flexible connectivity to peripherals, sensors, memory interfaces and board-level signals.
• Package & Mounting  256-FPBGA (17×17) package in a 256-BGA footprint, intended for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Power  Low-voltage core operation with a supply range of 0.95 V to 1.26 V to support modern low-power system architectures.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial-grade device rated for operation from -40 °C to 105 °C for robust field deployment.
• Standards & Compliance  RoHS compliant.
• SC/M Family Capabilities (Series)  Family-level features include high-performance FPGA fabric with LUT4-based logic, high-speed SERDES and extensive clocking resources as defined by the Lattice SC/M family data.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Systems  Implements custom motor control logic, deterministic I/O handling and protocol bridging while meeting industrial temperature requirements.
• Networking & Communications  Mid-range packet processing, protocol adaptation and I/O aggregation leveraging on-chip RAM and the SC/M family’s high-speed I/O architecture.
• Embedded System Acceleration  Offloads compute- or data-path functions—such as packet buffering, format conversion and interface bridging—using the device’s logic and embedded memory.
• Instrumentation & Test Equipment  Flexible I/O and programmable logic allow tailored measurement control, data capture and preprocessing in industrial environments.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory  15,000 logic elements paired with ~1.05 Mbits of embedded RAM enable complex state machines, buffering and data-path implementations on a single device.
• Broad I/O count  139 I/Os provide ample signals for interfacing to peripherals, sensors, and external memory without immediate need for additional glue logic.
• Industrial temperature rating  Operation from -40 °C to 105 °C supports deployment in harsh or temperature-variable field environments.
• Low-voltage core operation  0.95 V to 1.26 V supply range aligns with modern low-power system architectures and helps reduce overall system power consumption.
• Compact BGA package  256-FPBGA (17×17) allows a high pin count in a compact footprint suitable for densely packed PCBs.
• RoHS compliant  Meets common environmental requirements for commercial and industrial hardware.
