Overview

The MachXO3LF-2100C is an instant-on, non-volatile FPGA designed for system expansion and bridging applications. It features 2112 logic cells and 206 I/O pins, offering a high I/O-to-logic ratio in a compact 256-ball BGA package. This device integrates on-chip Flash for configuration and user data, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers ultra-low power consumption and instant-on capability, reaching operational state in milliseconds. It includes hardened I2C and SPI IP blocks to save logic cells and supports high-speed differential I/O like MIPI and LVDS directly. The 256-LFBGA package provides a massive amount of user I/O for its small physical footprint.

Applications

I/O Expansion
Adding additional GPIO, PWM, or specialized serial interfaces to microprocessors with limited pin counts.
Interface Bridging
Converting between different signaling standards such as LVDS, MIPI D-PHY, and LVCMOS for display or sensor integration.
System Control
Managing power-up sequencing, reset logic, and glue logic in complex multi-rail industrial systems.
Sensor Hub
Aggregating data from multiple I2C and SPI sensors before passing processed data to a primary application processor.
