LFXP3E-4T144C

The LFXP3E-4T144C is a non-volatile LatticeXP family FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor designed for compact, reconfigurable system logic. It combines approximately 3,000 logic elements with about 55,296 bits of on-chip RAM and 100 user I/Os in a 144-pin LQFP/TQFP footprint, delivering a tightly integrated solution for embedded logic, protocol bridging and memory-interface tasks.

Built for commercial-temperature applications, the device emphasizes fast start-up, flexible I/O interfaces and in-field reconfiguration capabilities to support iterative development and deployed-system updates.

Key Features

• Core Architecture: Non-volatile, infinitely reconfigurable FPGA architecture with instant-on capability and no requirement for external configuration memory.
• Logic Capacity: Approximately 3,000 logic elements suitable for moderate-density logic integration and glue-logic consolidation.
• On-Chip Memory: Approximately 55,296 bits of embedded RAM with both distributed and block memory options as part of the device architecture.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility: 100 user I/Os with a programmable sysIO buffer supporting a wide range of interfaces (including multiple LVCMOS voltage levels, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI, LVDS and other differential standards as defined for the LatticeXP family).
• Dedicated Memory Support: Family-level support for dedicated DDR memory interfaces (DDR up to DDR333 per family data sheet).
• Clocking and Timing: Includes analog PLL resources consistent with LatticeXP family devices to enable clock multiplication, division and phase shifting.
• Low-Power and Sleep: Sleep mode capability to dramatically reduce static current draw, supporting lower-power standby operation.
• Configurable System Access: SRAM and non-volatile memory programming through system configuration and JTAG ports; in-field reconfiguration (TransFR™) supported for logic updates while the system operates.
• Package and Supply: Surface-mount 144-pin LQFP (supplier reference 144-TQFP 20×20 mm) with a device supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V and RoHS compliance.
• Commercial Temperature Grade: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control & Prototyping: Consolidate glue logic, peripheral handling and state machines in compact embedded systems requiring reconfigurable logic and fast start-up.
• Memory Interface Bridging: Implement and test DDR interface logic and buffering where dedicated DDR support and on-chip RAM simplify board-level design.
• Protocol Bridging & I/O Conversion: Use the programmable sysIO buffer and abundant I/O to bridge between different voltage domains and serial/parallel protocols.
• Field Upgradeable Systems: Deploy systems that require in-field logic updates without removing the device, leveraging TransFR™ reconfiguration and JTAG access.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, Non-volatile Configuration: Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and enables rapid power-up behavior.
• Compact, High-Function Density: Roughly 3,000 logic elements and ~55 Kbits of embedded RAM in a 144-pin LQFP package reduce board area and component count.
• Flexible Interface Support: Programmable I/O buffers and family-level protocol support simplify integration with a wide range of peripherals and memory technologies.
• In-field Reconfiguration: TransFR™ capability enables updates to implemented logic while the system remains operational, minimizing downtime for fielded products.
• Low-standby Power Option: Sleep mode provides significant static current reduction for energy-sensitive applications.
• Commercial Temperature Rating and RoHS Compliance: Suitable for standard commercial deployments with environmental compliance for lead-free assembly.
