Key Features

• Core logic — Approximately 6,000 logic elements enabling mid-density FPGA designs and local logic integration.
• Embedded memory — Total on-chip RAM of 73,728 bits (approximately 72 Kbits) for distributed and block memory usage.
• I/O capacity & package — Up to 188 I/Os in a 256‑ball fpBGA (17 × 17 mm) package; surface-mount mounting simplifies board integration.
• Non-volatile, instant-on architecture — Built on the LatticeXP family technology that provides instant-on operation without external configuration memory and supports in-field reconfiguration.
• Reconfiguration and power modes — Support for in-system reconfiguration and a sleep mode offering up to 1000× static current reduction.
• Clocking and DDR support — Integrated PLL capability (LFXP6 devices include 2 PLLs) and dedicated DDR memory interface support up to DDR333 (166 MHz).
• Flexible I/O buffer standards — Supports a wide range of interfaces as defined for the LatticeXP family, including LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI, LVDS and other differential standards.
• Industrial temperature and supply — Operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C and specified voltage supply 1.14 V to 1.26 V.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory consistency.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control — Use in motor control, PLC expansion or machine I/O where industrial temperature range and instant-on behavior reduce startup constraints.
• Embedded systems — Integration of glue logic, custom peripherals and memory interfaces in compact board footprints using the 256‑BGA package and 188 I/Os.
• Communications and memory interfaces — Implement DDR interfaces and assorted serial/parallel I/O standards leveraging the device’s dedicated DDR support and flexible sysIO buffers.
• Field-upgradable systems — In-field logic update capability lets deployed systems receive firmware or feature updates without removing the device.

Unique Advantages

• Instant-on, non-volatile architecture — Eliminates the need for external configuration memory and accelerates system boot.
• In-field reconfigurability — Supports runtime updates to logic, enabling feature upgrades and iterative development in deployed equipment.
• Compact, high-density integration — 6,000 logic elements, embedded RAM and 188 I/Os in a 17 × 17 mm fpBGA reduce PCB area and BOM complexity.
• Industrial-ready operating range — −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports reliable operation in demanding environments.
• Power management — Sleep mode capability significantly reduces static current for low-power standby operation.
• Standards-flexible I/O — Broad I/O standard support simplifies interfacing to processors, memory and mixed-signal peripherals.
