LFXP15C-3F256C

The LFXP15C-3F256C is a Lattice Semiconductor XP-family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 256-ball fpBGA (17 × 17 mm) package. It combines non‑volatile, reconfigurable logic with embedded memory and flexible I/O to support system-level implementations where instant-on operation, in-field reconfiguration and compact board integration are required.

With 15,000 logic elements, 188 I/Os and approximately 0.33 Mbits of on‑chip RAM, this commercial‑grade device targets developers building compact embedded systems, communications interfaces and memory‑centric designs that benefit from integrated PLLs and a wide supply voltage range.

Key Features

• Core Logic 15,000 logic elements provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for control, glue logic and custom datapath implementation.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.33 Mbits of on-chip RAM (total RAM bits: 331,776) supporting distributed and block memory use within designs.
• I/O Flexibility 188 programmable I/Os in a 256‑ball fpBGA package (256-FPBGA, 17 × 17 mm) to support wide interfacing options on space-constrained boards.
• Non‑volatile, Instant‑on Architecture LatticeXP family features non‑volatile, infinitely reconfigurable technology enabling immediate start-up without external configuration memory.
• Reconfiguration and Low‑Power Modes Family capabilities include in-field reconfiguration (TransFR) and a sleep mode that can significantly reduce static current.
• Clocking and Memory Interface Up to four analog PLLs per device for clock management and dedicated DDR memory interface support up to DDR333.
• Power and Thermal Operates across a broad supply range (1.71 V to 3.465 V) and is specified for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 85 °C).
• Compliance and Packaging Surface-mount 256-FPBGA (17 × 17 mm) package; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded System Control Implement control logic, state machines and interface bridging in compact embedded platforms where integrated memory and instant-on behavior are advantageous.
• Communications and I/O Bridging Use the flexible I/O and programmable logic to implement protocol conversion, SERDES front-ends and custom interface logic.
• Memory Interface and Buffering Leverage on-chip RAM and dedicated DDR support for buffering, packet handling or temporary data storage in dataflow designs.
• In-field Upgradable Systems Deploy designs requiring fast in-system updates and secure configuration, benefiting from non‑volatile instant-on and reconfiguration features.

Unique Advantages

• Non‑volatile instant-on: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables immediate device startup.
• In-field reconfiguration: TransFR capability allows logic updates while the system remains in operation, enabling feature upgrades and bug fixes without board replacement.
• Compact, high‑I/O package: 256-FPBGA (17 × 17 mm) footprint provides 188 I/Os for dense connectivity in space‑restricted designs.
• Integrated memory resources: Approximately 0.33 Mbits of on‑chip RAM reduces external memory dependencies for many buffering and state storage needs.
• Flexible clocking and DDR support: Up to four PLLs and dedicated DDR333 interface support simplify timing and high‑speed memory interfacing.
• Wide supply range and commercial grade: Operates from 1.71 V to 3.465 V and is specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for standard commercial applications.
