Active190 in stock

Overview

The LFE5U-12F-6BG381C is part of the Lattice ECP5 family of low-power FPGAs, providing 12,000 logic elements in a high-density 381-ball caBGA package. It is designed to bridge the gap between high-performance FPGA capabilities and the strict power and cost requirements of high-volume industrial and consumer applications.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers a balanced architecture with 576kb of RAM and a core operating voltage of 1.1V for reduced power consumption. It features dual-boot image support and TransFR I/O technology, which simplifies field updates without interrupting system availability.

Applications

Industrial Protocol Bridging
Utilize the 197 available I/O pins to interface between disparate communication standards like UART, SPI, and I2C.
Signal Processing
The integrated DSP slices allow for efficient hardware acceleration of filtering and mathematical algorithms.
System Security and Reliability
Leverages Single Event Upset (SEU) mitigation, soft error detection, and correction to ensure robust operation in critical environments.
