LFXP20C-4F256I

The LFXP20C-4F256I is a non-volatile, infinitely reconfigurable FPGA from the LatticeXP family, offering instant-on operation without external configuration memory. It combines approximately 20,000 logic elements, on-chip embedded memory, and a flexible I/O fabric in a 256-ball fpBGA (17 × 17 mm) package targeted at industrial applications.

Designed for systems that require secure configuration, in-field updates and a range of interface options, this device supports a wide operating voltage range (1.71 V to 3.465 V) and an industrial operating temperature range (‑40 °C to 100 °C), with 188 available I/Os.

Key Features

• Core density — Approximately 20,000 logic elements to implement moderate- to high-density logic functions.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 405,504 bits (≈0.405 Mbits) of on-chip RAM for distributed and block memory usage.
• Flexible I/O — 188 I/Os with programmable sysIO buffer supporting LVCMOS (3.3/2.5/1.8/1.5/1.2 V), LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI, LVDS, LVPECL and other interface standards as supported by the LatticeXP family.
• Non‑volatile, instant-on configuration — Internal non-volatile configuration eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables rapid power-up.
• In-field reconfiguration — TransFR™ reconfiguration for updating SRAM-based logic while the system operates; reconfiguration and programming supported via system configuration and JTAG ports.
• Low-power modes — Sleep mode available for significant static current reduction.
• Clocking and memory support — Up to four analog PLLs for clock management and dedicated DDR memory interface support (up to DDR333/166 MHz as defined for the LatticeXP family).
• Rugged industrial package — Surface-mount 256-ball fpBGA (256-FPBGA, 17 × 17 mm) with industrial temperature grade (‑40 °C to 100 °C).
• Supply range — Operates across a flexible supply range from 1.71 V to 3.465 V to support multiple I/O and core voltage requirements.
• Design ecosystem — Supported by the ispLEVER design tool and a library of ispLeverCORE IP modules for efficient implementation and migration within the LatticeXP family.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control — Implement motor control logic, I/O aggregation and real-time control functions that benefit from industrial temperature rating and robust I/O options.
• Embedded systems — Use instant-on, non-volatile configuration and on-chip RAM for compact embedded controllers and system-on-module designs.
• High-speed memory interfaces — Deploy dedicated DDR interface support and PLL-based clock management for systems requiring external memory connectivity.
• Communications and protocol bridging — Leverage flexible sysIO buffers and multiple interface standards to implement protocol translators, SERDES-adjacent interfaces, and mid-range comms logic.

Unique Advantages

• Non‑volatile instant-on — Eliminates external configuration memory and reduces boot time by bringing the system to operation immediately after power-up.
• Field-updatable logic — TransFR reconfiguration enables in-field updates to SRAM-based logic without full system downtime, simplifying maintenance and feature upgrades.
• Broad interface support — Programmable I/O buffers accommodate a wide set of standards, reducing the need for external level shifters and interface chips.
• Power management flexibility — Sleep mode capability provides substantial static current reduction for energy-sensitive designs.
• Industrial robustness — Extended operating temperature and industrial grading support deployment in demanding environments.
• Integrated design support — Compatibility with ispLEVER tools and ispLeverCORE IP shortens development time and eases migration across LatticeXP densities.
