LFXP20E-5FN256C

The LFXP20E-5FN256C is a commercial-grade, non-volatile LatticeXP family FPGA supplied in a 256-ball fpBGA (17 × 17 mm) package with 188 I/O pins. It integrates approximately 20,000 logic elements and on-chip embedded memory to support mid-density programmable logic requirements.

Built for applications that require instant-on, in-field reconfiguration and flexible I/O, this device delivers a balance of integration, reconfigurability and system-level features that address interface bridging, embedded control and memory-interfacing tasks.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — Approximately 20,000 logic elements to implement medium-complexity logic designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.396 Mbits (405,504 bits) of on-chip RAM for distributed and block memory functions.
• I/O Flexibility — 188 user I/Os available in a 256-ball fpBGA package to support multiple interfaces and board-level routing.
• Non-volatile, Instant-on Architecture — Family-level features include non-volatile configuration with instant-on and no requirement for external configuration memory.
• In-field Reconfiguration & Security — Supports reconfiguration while in-system and architecture-level protections that eliminate external bitstream exposure.
• Clocking — Family-level support for up to four analog PLLs enables clock multiplication, division and phase adjustments for complex timing needs.
• Low-power Modes — Family-level sleep mode can dramatically reduce static current for power-sensitive designs.
• Package & Mounting — 256-FPBGA (17 × 17 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact board designs.
• Power & Temperature — Specified supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for environmentally conscious manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Interface Bridging and Protocol Conversion — Use the device's flexible I/O and reconfigurable logic to implement protocol translation and board-level interface logic.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Implement control state machines, peripheral glue logic and custom accelerators using the device’s 20,000 logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Memory Interfaces — Leverage family-level dedicated DDR support and abundant I/Os for designs requiring DDR memory interfacing and buffering.
• System Configuration and In-field Updates — Non-volatile instant-on behavior and TransFR-style reconfiguration capabilities enable firmware updates and in-field logic changes without external configuration memory.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on Non-volatile Architecture: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables rapid system startup.
• In-field Reconfiguration: Allows logic updates while the system is operating, reducing downtime for firmware and feature upgrades.
• Rich Embedded Memory: Nearly 0.396 Mbits of on-chip RAM supports data buffering, FIFOs and small embedded storage without external RAM.
• Comprehensive I/O Count: 188 I/Os in a compact 256-ball fpBGA provide broad connectivity for peripherals, memory and high-speed interfaces.
• Power-aware Operation: Specified power range and family-level sleep mode enable designs that can optimize static current for lower-power applications.
• Compact BGA Package: The 17 × 17 mm fpBGA delivers a small board footprint while preserving routing density and thermal performance for commercial applications.
