Key Features

• Core Capacity  20,000 logic elements (cells) suitable for mid-density logic integration and system glue logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 396 Kbits (405,504 bits) of on-chip RAM for data buffering, state storage and local memory needs.
• I/O Flexibility  188 I/Os with a programmable sysIO™ buffer supporting a broad range of interface standards listed for the LatticeXP family, enabling mixed-signal and high-speed interconnects.
• Non‑volatile, Instant‑On  Family-level ispXP™ non-volatile technology provides instant-on behavior and eliminates the need for external configuration memory.
• In‑Field Reconfiguration  TransFR™ reconfiguration enables logic updates while the system operates, supporting rapid field upgrades and iterative development.
• Low Power Modes  Sleep mode capability (family-level) allows significant static current reduction for power-sensitive designs.
• Clocking  Up to four analog PLLs (family-level) for clock multiplication, division and phase shifting to support diverse timing architectures.
• Package & Mounting  256-ball fpBGA (256-FPBGA, 17 × 17 mm), surface-mount package optimized for compact PCB designs.
• Electrical & Environmental  Voltage supply range: 1.71 V to 3.465 V; operating temperature: 0 °C to 85 °C; commercial grade and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implement control sequencing, protocol bridging and system glue logic where instant-on and reconfigurability speed time-to-market.
• Consumer & Commercial Electronics  User interface control, peripheral aggregation and mixed-signal interfacing using flexible I/O standards and on-chip memory.
• Communications & Networking  Mid-density packet processing, protocol adaptors and interface conversion leveraging plentiful I/Os and configurable PLLs.
• Instrumentation & Test  Signal conditioning front-ends and custom data handling where in-field updates and embedded RAM simplify iterative development.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, non-volatile architecture: Eliminates external configuration memory and enables microsecond startup for faster system availability.
• Field upgradability: TransFR reconfiguration supports in-system logic updates without removing the device or halting overall system operation.
• Compact, high‑I/O package: 256-ball fpBGA (17 × 17 mm) provides 188 I/Os in a space-efficient surface-mount footprint to reduce overall BOM and PCB area.
• Integrated memory for local buffering: Approximately 396 Kbits of embedded RAM reduces dependency on external memory for many mid-range designs.
• Flexible clocking and interfaces: Up to four PLLs and a broad family-level sysIO feature set allow tight timing control and support for diverse serial/parallel interfaces.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS compliant: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C with RoHS compliance for standard commercial deployments and supply-chain compatibility.
