Lattice Semiconductor Corporation
MachXO3 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 206 245760 6864 256-LFBGA
Active

Overview

The Lattice MachXO3LF is a non-volatile, instant-on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance bridging and system control. This specific variant features 6864 logic cells and 240 kbits of embedded RAM in a compact 256-ball caBGA package.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA includes integrated Flash for on-chip configuration, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs and ensuring the device is active within milliseconds. It offers a high I/O-to-logic ratio with 206 user I/Os, supporting flexible voltage standards from 2.375V to 3.465V.

Applications

LVDS Bridging
Converting between different display interfaces such as MIPI DSI, CSI-2, and sub-LVDS in consumer and industrial imaging systems.
I/O Expansion
Providing additional high-speed digital I/O for microcontrollers or SoCs that lack sufficient pins for peripheral management.
System Power Sequencing
Managing complex power-up and power-down sequences for multi-rail boards due to its instant-on capability and internal Flash.
Sensor Hub
Aggregating and pre-processing data from multiple digital sensors via I2C, SPI, or custom parallel buses.
