Overview

The iCE40UP5K is a low-power, high-performance FPGA from the iCE40 UltraPlus family designed for mobile and edge applications. It provides 5280 Look-Up Tables (LUTs) and 120 kilobits of embedded flash memory to support complex logic in a compact 7x7mm QFN48 package. This device is optimized for sensor management and always-on processing while maintaining a low power profile of 8.5mA at 48MHz.

Why Choose This Part

The iCE40UP5K offers an exceptional balance of logic density and power efficiency, making it suitable for battery-operated devices. It features 39 programmable GPIOs and a high ratio of embedded memory to LUTs, simplifying the implementation of data buffers and LUT-based functions. Its compatibility with open-source toolchains provides engineers with a flexible and cost-effective development path.

Applications

Edge AI and Machine Learning
Utilizes integrated DSP blocks and distributed RAM to perform low-latency signal processing and pattern recognition at the edge.
Display Interface Bridging
Acts as a bridge between disparate display protocols, such as converting MIPI DSI to parallel RGB for small-format screens.
Sensor Hub Aggregation
Aggregates data from multiple I2C and SPI sensors to offload interrupt processing from the primary application processor.
Custom Peripheral Expansion
Adds specialized hardware interfaces or additional GPIO pins to microcontrollers that lack specific timing-critical peripherals.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the Lattice Radiant software for synthesis and routing, or the open-source IceStorm toolchain for a lightweight alternative. The iCE40UP5K-B-EVN Breakout Board is the recommended hardware platform for rapid prototyping. Design entry can be performed using standard Verilog or VHDL, and bitstreams are typically loaded via SPI from an external flash or a microcontroller.
