Lattice shrinks FPGAs

3 April 2013 Programmable Logic

Lattice Semiconductor introduced the iCE40 LP384, the smallest member of its expanding iCE40 family of ultra-low-density FPGAs. The new small footprint device is aimed at applications such as portable medical monitors, smartphones, digital cameras, eReaders and compact embedded systems.

The device has a capacity of 384 LUTs, consumes 25 μW static core power, and comes in packages as small as 2,5 x 2,5 mm with a migration path to 2,0 x 2,0 mm.

The FPGA includes the programmable logic, flexible I/O and on-chip memory necessary to process data at speeds greater than ASSPs or companion microprocessors while simultaneously reducing power consumption for an equivalent cost. Lattice also provides reference designs and application notes to accelerate development.

Lattice’s iCEcube2 development software is a feature-rich development platform for iCE40 FPGAs. It integrates a free synthesis tool with Lattice’s placement and routing tools. Also, it includes the Aldec Active-HDL simulation solution with Waveform Viewer and an RTL/gate-level mixed-language simulator.
