ORT42G5-1BM484C

The ORT42G5-1BM484C is an ORCA® Series 4 field‑programmable gate array (FPGA) device from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, built on a reconfigurable embedded System‑on‑a‑Chip architecture. The device integrates four high‑speed SERDES channels with on‑chip FPGA fabric to address backplane and board‑level high‑speed serial data interfaces.

Designed for high‑speed serial backplane and networking applications, the ORT42G5 family supports data rates up to 3.7 Gbps per channel and provides embedded features such as Rx clock and data recovery, transmitter preemphasis, and 8b/10b encoding/decoding to enable XAUI, Fibre Channel and 10 G Ethernet type implementations.

Key Features

• Core architecture — Series 4 reconfigurable embedded SoC architecture integrating FPGA fabric and embedded functions for system‑level implementations.
• Logic resources — 10,368 logic elements (FPGA LUTs) and 1,296 programmable function units (PFUs) to implement complex custom logic and protocol engines.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 0.114 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (113,664 total RAM bits) to support packet buffering, FIFOs and temporary data storage.
• High‑speed SERDES — Four SERDES channels capable of up to 3.7 Gbps each with built‑in Rx clock & data recovery (CDR) and transmitter preemphasis for backplane links.
• Protocol support — Built‑in 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machine support suitable for XAUI, Fibre Channel and 10 G Ethernet style link implementations.
• I/O and system gates — 204 user I/Os and a total gate count listed at 643,000 system gates to integrate both control and high‑speed data paths.
• Power and operating range — Supply voltage range 1.425 V to 3.6 V, with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C (commercial grade).
• Package and mounting — 484‑BBGA package (supplier device package: 484‑FPBGA, 23×23) designed for surface‑mount assembly.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Backplane Networking and Switch Fabric — Implements high‑speed full‑duplex backplane links and multi‑channel alignment for board‑to‑board communication.
• 10 G Ethernet and XAUI Interfaces — Provides SERDES, 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machine capability for XAUI and 10 G Ethernet bridging or edge logic.
• Fibre Channel and SAN Connectivity — Supports Fibre Channel protocol elements and high‑speed SERDES for storage networking endpoints and line cards.
• High‑speed Interconnect and Protocol Bridging — Acts as a protocol bridge or termination device to consolidate clock domains and reduce backplane signal count.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated high‑speed transceivers: Four SERDES channels operating to 3.7 Gbps with CDR and preemphasis simplify high‑speed link implementation.
• Substantial logic capacity: 10,368 logic elements and up to 643,000 system gates enable complex protocol stacks and custom datapath logic on a single device.
• On‑chip memory for buffering: Approximately 0.114 Mbits of embedded RAM supports alignment FIFOs, packet buffers and temporary storage without external memory.
• Rich protocol support: Built‑in 8b/10b encoding/decoding and link state machines reduce development time for Ethernet and Fibre Channel style links.
• Commercial package and assembly: 484‑BBGA (484‑FPBGA, 23×23) surface‑mount package provides a compact, board‑level solution for space‑constrained designs.
• Flexible power range: Wide supply voltage window (1.425 V–3.6 V) enables integration into a variety of system power architectures.
