Overview

The LCMXO2-256ZE-1TG100C is an ultra-low-power MachXO2 PLD featuring 256 Look-Up Tables (LUTs) in a 100-pin TQFP package. It belongs to the ZE family, which is optimized for minimal power consumption in bridge and glue-logic applications. This device includes on-chip flash for 'instant-on' capability and simplifies board design with its 1.2V core power requirement.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers 'instant-on' performance by storing its configuration in internal non-volatile memory, eliminating the need for an external boot PROM. Its ultra-low-power architecture and 100-pin TQFP package make it ideal for power-sensitive designs requiring high-density I/O in a manageable hand-solderable footprint.

Applications

I/O Expansion
Adding additional GPIO, PWM, or serial interfaces to microcontrollers with limited pin counts.
Level Shifting
Bridging signals between different voltage domains using the flexible multi-bank I/O structure.
System Control
Managing power-up sequencing and reset logic for complex multi-rail PCB designs.
Simple State Machines
Offloading timing-critical tasks from a host CPU to dedicated hardware logic.
