Overview

The LCMXO3LF-6900C-5BG256C is a non-volatile, instant-on FPGA from the Lattice MachXO3LF family, featuring 6864 logic elements and 240 Kbits of embedded RAM. It is designed for low-power system expansion, bridging, and I/O management with support for advanced interfaces like MIPI, LVDS, and sub-LVDS. This specific variant includes on-chip Flash memory for multi-time programmability and a hardened IP core for standard serial interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers 'instant-on' capability, allowing it to begin operating within milliseconds of power application. It eliminates the need for external configuration flash, reducing PCB footprint and BOM cost while enhancing security. The 1.2V core and low standby current make it suitable for power-sensitive applications requiring high-speed differential signaling.

Applications

MIPI DSI/CSI-2 Bridging
Used to interface mobile application processors with legacy displays or image sensors by converting signal protocols.
System Control and Power Sequencing
Managing complex power-up sequences and board-level control logic in industrial and telecommunications equipment.
I/O Expansion
Adding up to 206 high-speed I/O pins to microcontrollers for specialized peripheral management.
Sensor Hub Aggregation
Collecting and pre-processing data from multiple digital and analog sensors before passing it to a host processor.
