ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN iCE40 LP/HX Family from Lattice Semiconductor

ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN Overview

Five devices of the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN of ultra-low power, non-volatile FPGAs have LUT densities ranging from 384 to 7,680. These devices include Embedded Block RAM (EBR), Non-volatile Configuration Memory (NVCM), and Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), in addition to LUT-based, low-cost programmable circuitry. The devices can be employed in low-cost, high-volume consumer and system applications thanks to these capabilities. High-Current drivers are available in some packages and are the best choice for driving three white LEDs or one RGB LED. The 40 nm CMOS low-power technology is used to create the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN. Numerous aspects of the device architecture include programmable low-swing differential I/Os and the capacity to dynamically disable on-chip PLLs. All family members will experience low static power as a result of these features' assistance in controlling static and dynamic power usage. Ultra-low power (LP) and high performance (HX) variants of the iCE40 LP/HX devices are both offered. The innovative halogen-free packages for the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN range widely, from the compact 1.40 mm x 1.48 mm WLCSP to the PCB-friendly 20 mm x 20 mm TQFP. Additionally, the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN offers on-chip NVCM for flexible, dependable, and secure configuration. These devices can be configured by an external master, such as a CPU, or they can configure themselves via external SPI Flash. In order to effectively construct complicated designs using the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN, Lattice offers a variety of design tools. Support for the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN synthesis library is offered by well-known logic synthesis tools. Lattice design tools place and route the design in the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN using the output from the synthesis tool as well as the user's preferences and constraints. In order to verify timing, these tools extract timing from the routing and back-annotate it into the design. Many pre-engineered IP (Intellectual Property) modules are available from Lattice, including a variety of reference designs that are free to use and are licensed for the ICE40HX8K-BG121TRAMN. Users are liberated to focus on the distinctive features of their designs, boosting productivity, by employing these adjustable soft core IP cores as standardized building blocks.
