Lattice Semiconductor - Compact ultra low-power FPGAs for feature-rich mobile devices (iCE40)

Lattice Semiconductor's iCE40 UltraLite FPGA is one of the industry's smallest and lowest power field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for feature-rich consumer mobile and industrial handheld devices. The highly integrated iCE40 UltraLite device provides a flexible logic architecture, programmable I / O, and ruggedized IP and LED drivers, all of which are packaged in ultra-low-power FPGAs and sensor managers with instant-on functionality in. iCE40 UltraLite FPGA is designed to speed time to market through its powerful feature set. Compared with similar FPGAs, iCE40 UltraLite FPGA consumes 30% less power and 68% less footprint. These devices are based on advanced 40nm ultra-low power processes. The FPGA has a density of 640 or 1K logic cells, is equipped with up to 56 Kbit of sysMEM (tm) embedded Block RAM (EBR) to work with user logic, and has two on-chip oscillators: a 9.7 kHz LFOSC and One 48 MHz HFOSC. LFOSC is well-suited for normally open low-power applications, and HFOSC can be used for wake-up activities. FPGA with rugged RGB PWM IP and three user-configurable 24 mA constant current RGB driver outputs. The on-chip 400 mA current drives the IR LED output and provides a direct interface to the external LED for the IrDA function. The 100 mA barcode emulation driver output provides a direct interface for applications such as barcode scanning, while the IR LED output and learning mode functions can be used to drive applications such as TV remote controls. iCE40 UltraLite FPGA realizes flexible, reliable and safe SRAM memory configuration through standard SPI interface and internal nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM). Since the memory configuration can be stored in a non-volatile (one-time programmable) on-chip memory, no external configuration memory or circuit is required. They are available in a 16-ball WLCSP package with a ball pitch of 0.35 mm and an area of ​​1.409mm2, or a 36-ball BGA package with a ball pitch of 0.4mm and an area of ​​2.5mm2. iCE40 UltraLite FPGA is the perfect solution for a variety of small, power-sensitive small Internet of Things (IoT) or wireless applications (including smartphones, tablets, medical devices, wearables, multi-sensor management, and RGB lighting controls) . the company.
