ICE40UL1K-CM36AI
Overview
The iCE40UL1K-CM36AI is an ultra-low power iCE40 UltraLite FPGA designed for mobile and wearable applications where power and space are at a premium. It features 1248 logic cells, 56 Kbits of embedded RAM, and specialized hardened IP for driving IR and RGB LEDs. This device is optimized for always-on functions, providing a flexible alternative to microcontrollers in a compact 2.5mm x 2.5mm 36-UCBGA package.
Why Choose This Part
The iCE40UL1K integrates unique hardware blocks for LEDs and IR logic that typically require external transistors, reducing the overall BOM and PCB footprint. Its extremely low power profile, with a core run current of approximately 3.06mA, makes it suitable for battery-operated devices that require custom logic flexibility.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Designers can use the Lattice iCEcube2 or Radiant software for synthesis and place-and-route. Hardware development is often performed using the iCE40 UltraLite Breakout Board, which allows for testing the NVCM programming and the 26 available I/Os. The device supports configuration via SPI or the internal Nonvolatile Configuration Memory for single-chip operation.
