811 in stock

Overview

The ICE40LP1K-SWG16TR1K is a member of Lattice Semiconductor's iCE40 LP (Ultra Low-Power) FPGA family providing 1280 LUT-equivalents and targeting 1.2 V operation. It is a small, low-power programmable logic device intended for battery-powered and always-on applications where area and power are constrained. The device lets designers implement custom glue logic, simple signal processing, and interface adaptation in hardware.

Why Choose This Part

Choose this part when ultra-low power and small FPGA resources are required - it provides a reprogrammable hardware option with very low static and dynamic power compared with larger FPGAs. The iCE40 family also benefits from a mature ecosystem including vendor and open-source toolchains, making development and deployment accessible for constrained embedded applications.

Applications

Battery-powered sensor hubs
Aggregate and preprocess multiple sensor streams with minimal standby power before handing data to a microcontroller.
Protocol bridging and interface adaptation
Implement custom or evolving I/O protocols and bridge incompatible peripherals without changing firmware.
Always-on event detection
Perform low-latency pattern detection, debouncing, or edge/event logic while the main processor sleeps.
Small-scale hardware acceleration
Offload simple bit-serial or pipelined functions from a CPU to reduce latency and CPU load.

Getting Started

Use Lattice's tooling for iCE40 devices (vendor tools) or the open-source toolchain (Project IceStorm, Yosys, nextpnr) for synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation. Program the device with Lattice programming hardware or third-party USB programmers supported by the toolchain. For prototyping, use a breakout board or community dev boards that expose iCE40 devices (for example, iCEstick or TinyFPGA series are commonly used with iCE40 parts) so you can iterate without designing a custom PCB.
