The Lattice Semiconductor iCE40 LP-Series and HX-Series programmable logic family are designed to deliver the lowest static and dynamic power consumption of any comparable CPLD or FPGA device. iCE40 FPGAs are designed specifically for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. iCE40 FPGA are fully user-programmable and can self-configure from a configuration image stored in on-chip, nonvolatile configuration memory (NVCM) or stored in an external commodity SPI serial Flash PROM or downloaded from an external processor over an SPI-like serial port. iCE40 components deliver from approximately 640 to 7,680 logic cells and flip-flops while consuming a fraction of the power of comparable programmable logic devices. Each iCE40 device includes 8 to 32 RAM blocks, each with 4Kbits storage, for on-chip data storage and data buffering.
Each iCE40 device consists of five primary architectural elements.
? An array of Programmable Logic Blocks (PLBs)
? Each PLB contains eight Logic Cells (LCs); each Logic Cell consists of …
? A fast, four-input look-up table (LUT4) capable of implementing any combinational logic function of up to four inputs, regardless of complexity
? A‘D’-type flip-flop with an optional clock-enable and set/reset control
? Fast carry logic accelerates arithmetic functions: adders, subtracters, comparators, and counters.
? Common clock input with polarity control, clock-enable input, and optional set/reset control input to the PLB is shared among all eight Logic Cells
? Two-port, 4Kbit RAM blocks (RAM4K)
? 256x16 default configuration; selectable data width using programmable logic resources
? Simultaneous read and write access; ideal for FIFO memory and data buffering applications
? RAM contents pre-loadable during configuration
? Four I/O banks with independent supply voltage, multiple Programmable Input/Output (PIO) blocks
? LVCMOS I/O standards and LVDS outputs supported in all banks
? I/O Bank 3 supports additional LVDS, and SubLVDS I/O standards
? One or two Phase-Locked Loops (PLL)
? Very low power
? Clock multiplication and division
? Phase shifting in fixed 90° increments
? Static or dynamic phase shifting
? Programmable interconnections between all programmable logic functions
? Eight dedicated low-skew, high-fanout clock distribution networks
