Overview

The LCMXO2-1200HC-4TG144C is a low-power, non-volatile FPGA from the Lattice MachXO2 family, featuring 1280 Look-Up Tables (LUTs) and 144 pins in a TQFP package. It combines the flexibility of an FPGA with the instant-on capability of a CPLD by integrating flash memory for configuration on-chip. This device is designed for system control, I/O expansion, and bridging applications where low power consumption and small board footprint are critical.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers an ultra-low standby current of 50 uA and a typical run current of 3.49 mA, making it ideal for battery-operated devices. Its non-volatile architecture allows for instant-on operation and infinite reconfigurability without requiring an external boot PROM. The inclusion of hardened I2C, SPI, and timer peripherals reduces the logic cell overhead typically required for standard communication tasks.

Applications

I/O Expansion and Bridging
Extends the I/O capabilities of microcontrollers or processors and translates between different signaling standards such as LVCMOS, LVTTL, and LVDS.
System Control Logic
Manages power-up sequencing, reset generation, and glue logic tasks in complex embedded systems.
Display and Sensor Interfacing
Acts as an interface bridge for MIPI D-PHY emulated signals or custom display protocols in portable electronics.
Memory Interface Control
Provides custom logic for managing access to external SRAM or distributed memory buffers.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the Lattice Diamond design software, which provides tools for synthesis, placement, routing, and simulation. For hardware prototyping, the MachXO2 Breakout Board or the MachXO2 Pico Development Kit are common entry points. Engineers should use the Lattice HW-USBN-2B programmer to load bitstreams into the on-chip user flash via the JTAG interface.
