Overview

The ICE5LP4K-SG48ITR is a member of the Lattice iCE40 Ultra family, offering 3520 logic cells in a compact 48-pin QFN package. It is designed for ultra-low power applications, featuring a standby current of only 71 uA and a 40 nm process optimized for mobile and wearable devices. This FPGA includes specialized hardware such as DSP blocks and embedded RGB PWM IP to offload tasks from a primary processor.

Why Choose This Part

The iCE40 Ultra architecture is ideal for power-constrained designs due to its 71 uA standby current and dedicated low-power modes like iCEGate. It simplifies system design by integrating 80 KB of RAM and nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) directly on-chip. The small 7x7 mm QFN package with 0.5 mm pitch makes it accessible for standard PCB manufacturing while maintaining a tiny footprint.

Applications

Sensor Hub and Data Aggregation
Uses low-power logic to buffer and process sensor data from multiple I2C and SPI interfaces before waking the main application processor.
Mobile Device Peripheral Control
Manages RGB LED patterns and housekeeping tasks using the built-in PWM IP and internal oscillator to reduce system power consumption.
Hardware Acceleration
Utilizes integrated DSP functional blocks to perform signal processing or arithmetic operations at a lower power footprint than software-based MCU implementations.

Getting Started

Developers can use the Lattice Radiant or iCEcube2 software for synthesis and routing. Hardware evaluation is typically performed using the iCE40 Ultra Breakout Board, and programming can be achieved via the SPI interface or the internal NVCM for production. The built-in oscillator and programmable PLL allow for immediate operation without external clock sources in many basic configurations.
