ICE40HX1K-TQ144
Overview
The ICE40HX1K-TQ144 is a high-performance, low-power Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Lattice Semiconductor's iCE40 HX series. Built on a 40 nm process, it provides 1280 logic cells and 64 kbits of total RAM in a 144-pin TQFP package, making it an ideal choice for high-speed bridging and glue logic applications. The device is designed to offer high-speed I/O performance while maintaining a low power profile suitable for industrial and portable electronics.
Why Choose This Part
The iCE40HX series features a flexible logic architecture and high-performance I/O buffers that support high-speed operation and low-swing differential signals. Its 40 nm process enables a low power footprint without sacrificing speed, while the 144-TQFP package provides a large number of accessible I/Os for complex board routing. Additionally, the device supports multiple configuration modes and includes on-chip resources like high-current LED drivers and Schmitt trigger inputs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can design for this FPGA using Lattice Radiant or iCEcube2 software, and the part is famously compatible with the Project IceStorm open-source toolchain. Configuration can be performed via an external SPI Flash or directly from a host microcontroller using the SPI interface. For hardware prototyping, many engineers use the iCE40HX1K-B-EVN evaluation board or similar break-out modules to verify logic before PCB integration.
