ISPGDX120A-7T176

Overview

The ISPGDX120A-7T176 is a high-performance Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Lattice Semiconductor's ispGDX family. It features 120 macrocells and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.3V. The device supports a maximum operating frequency of 150 MHz and utilizes a non-volatile Flash memory architecture for instant-on functionality. It is housed in a 176-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with a 0.5 mm pitch, designed for applications requiring low power consumption and high reliability.

Feature Summary

• Instant-on operation enabled by embedded non-volatile Flash memory technology
• High-speed performance supporting system frequencies up to 150 MHz
• Low-power design optimized for battery-operated and portable applications
• Supports in-system programming via JTAG interface

Applications

• System controller logic for embedded processors
• Address decoding and bus bridging in industrial systems
• Power management control circuits
• Interface translation between different voltage domains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '7T176' against official Lattice documentation to confirm the temperature grade, package type, and speed bin. Ensure compatibility with your design toolchain, such as Lattice Diamond or ispLEVER Classic, prior to ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor CPLD with instant-on capability is required. It serves as a drop-in replacement for older GAL devices in address decoding and glue logic applications. Consider the 120 macrocell count and I/O availability to ensure sufficient resources for your specific logic requirements without over-provisioning.

Part Context

The ispGDX family represents Lattice's advanced CPLD technology, combining the flexibility of programmable logic with the ease of use associated with traditional PAL/GAL devices. This series is engineered for cost-sensitive applications that demand low power and high density in compact packages, positioning it between standard PLDs and larger FPGAs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the ispGDX family, such as the ISPGDX160VA, which offers higher macrocell counts. Verify that any substitute maintains the same voltage levels and timing characteristics to ensure seamless integration into existing designs.
