ICE40LP1K-CM36
Overview
The ICE40LP1K-CM36 is an ultra-low power FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor's iCE40 LP series, featuring 1280 logic cells in a compact 36-VFBGA package. It is designed for battery-powered mobile and wearable applications where high-speed logic processing is required with a static supply current as low as 0.1mA. This device provides flexible configuration via internal Non-Volatile Configuration Memory (NVCM) or external SPI Flash.
Why Choose This Part
This FPGA offers an industry-leading balance of power and size, occupying only 2.5x2.5mm of board space while supporting up to 275MHz clock speeds. It includes dedicated PLLs and I/O cells with DDR registers to facilitate high-speed synchronous interfaces despite its small footprint.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development can be performed using the Lattice iCEcube2 design software or the open-source IceStorm toolchain. For physical prototyping, the iCE40HX1K-B-EVN evaluation board is commonly used, though the LP variant is often integrated directly into custom PCBs using SPI for bitstream loading.
