LFXP2-5E-5FT256C

The LFXP2-5E-5FT256C is an XP2 family FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor offered in a 256-ball BGA package. It combines flash-based configuration architecture with a LUT-based FPGA fabric to deliver reconfigurable logic, embedded memory, DSP resources and a broad set of I/O for compact, low-voltage designs.

Designed for commercial applications, this device targets embedded control, interface bridging and display or sensor interface tasks where a small-footprint, instant-on FPGA with flexible I/O and on-chip memory is required.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 5,000 logic elements enabling mid-density FPGA implementations; device data lists 625 CLBs corresponding to that logic capacity.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 169,984 bits (≈170 Kbits) of on-chip RAM for local buffering and state storage.
• sysDSP and Multipliers  Includes 3 sysDSP blocks and 12 18×18 multipliers for hardware-accelerated multiply-accumulate operations and signal processing tasks.
• I/O Count and Flexibility  172 user I/Os in a 256-ball package; the XP2 family supports flexible I/O standards including a wide range of CMOS, SSTL, HSTL and differential interfaces such as LVDS for display and high-speed signaling.
• Non-volatile Configuration (flexiFLASH)  Family-level flexiFLASH architecture provides instant-on behavior, on-chip flash storage and FlashBAK memory for persistent configuration and design security features.
• Live Update and Security  Family features include Live Update technology with TransFR, dual-boot capability and 128-bit AES encryption for secure firmware updates and configuration management.
• Power and Temperature  Operates from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply and is specified for commercial-grade temperatures from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Package and Mounting  256-ball LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FTBGA, 17×17 mm) with surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Use as a compact programmable controller for board-level logic, protocol handling and sensor aggregation where on-chip memory and DSP resources accelerate local processing.
• Display and Video Interfaces  Flexible I/O and differential signaling support make the device suitable for display interfaces and source-synchronous links used in video and graphics front-ends.
• Interface Bridging and Memory Controllers  Mid-density logic and dedicated multipliers allow implementation of protocol bridging, DDR/parallel interface support and timing-critical glue logic.
• Secure Field Upgrades  Built-in flash configuration and Live Update features enable secure, field-deployable firmware updates and dual-boot configurations for system reliability.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Non-volatile Configuration: Flash-based flexiFLASH delivers instant-on behavior and on-chip configuration storage to simplify system designs and eliminate external volatile configuration devices.
• Balanced Compute and Memory: 5,000 logic elements paired with approximately 170 Kbits of embedded RAM support a variety of mid-range control, buffering and data-path tasks without large external memory requirements.
• Dedicated DSP Resources: sysDSP blocks and 18×18 multipliers provide hardware acceleration for signal processing and mathematical operations, reducing load on general logic.
• Flexible, High-count I/O: 172 user I/Os in a compact ftBGA package deliver multiple interface options for mixed-signal designs, display links and high-speed differential pairs.
• Secure Update Path: Live Update technologies and AES-based encryption allow secure firmware/configuration updates and support dual-boot workflows for safe field maintenance.
• Compact Surface-mount Package: The 256-ball ftBGA (17×17 mm) package enables dense PCB layouts while preserving a large number of I/Os for routing and system connectivity.
