5 in stock

Overview

The LFE5U-25F-6BG256C is part of the Lattice ECP5 family, a low-power FPGA designed for high-volume, small-form-factor applications that require more logic and IO density than the iCE40 series. It features 24K logic cells, 1008 Kb of embedded RAM, and dedicated DSP blocks to handle complex signal processing tasks. This specific variant comes in a 256-ball caBGA package and operates at a core voltage of 1.1V.

Why Choose This Part

It offers a significant performance-to-power ratio with a standby current as low as 77mA and supports high-speed SERDES capabilities for multi-gigabit throughput. The architecture includes advanced features like DLLs and PLLs for precise clock management and soft error detection for improved system reliability.

Applications

Image Signal Processing
Utilizing enhanced DSP architecture and high-speed source synchronous interfaces for real-time camera data manipulation.
Industrial Networking
Implementing soft-core processors and custom protocol bridges for industrial Ethernet and motor control synchronization.
Video Bridging
Converting between different display interface standards like MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, and sub-LVDS.
Edge AI Inference
Running quantized neural network models at the edge using distributed and embedded memory resources for low-latency execution.

Getting Started

Designers can use the Lattice Diamond software for synthesis, placement, and routing. For hardware evaluation, the ECP5-5G Development Toolkit or third-party boards like the OrangeCrab are common choices. Development typically involves programming via the JTAG or SPI interfaces as supported by the silicon.
