LFE3-35EA-8FN484C
Overview
The LFE3-35EA-8FN484C is a mid-range LatticeECP3 FPGA featuring 33,000 logic elements and high-performance SERDES capabilities. It is designed to bridge the gap between low-cost FPGAs and high-end power-hungry devices by offering integrated PCI Express 1.1 and Ethernet support. This specific variant comes in a 484-ball BBGA package and is optimized for low-power consumption at a 1.2V core voltage.
Why Choose This Part
This FPGA offers a balanced architecture with 1.35 Mbits of embedded RAM and 33,000 logic cells, providing significant processing density for its power envelope. Its integrated SERDES is highly flexible, supporting various high-speed standards without the need for external transceiver ICs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Designers should use the Lattice Diamond design software for synthesis, mapping, and routing. Hardware evaluation can be performed using the LatticeECP3 Versa Development Kit, and programming is typically handled via the JTAG interface using a Lattice USB Cable.
