LAMXO1200E-3FTN256E

Overview

The LAMXO1200E-3FTN256E is an automotive-grade Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the LA-MachXO family, designed for applications requiring non-volatile logic and high I/O density. It features 1200 Look-Up Tables (LUTs), 9.2 Kbits of Embedded Block RAM (EBR), and 6.25 Kbits of distributed RAM. The device includes one sysCLOCK Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and supports up to 211 I/O pins. It operates at a core voltage of 1.2V and is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards. The component utilizes a 256-ball fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (ftBGA) package with dimensions of 17x17 mm.

Feature Summary

• AEC-Q100 Qualified: Tested and qualified for automotive environments.
• Non-Volatile Architecture: Provides instant-on functionality in microseconds without external configuration memory.
• TransFR Technology: Enables in-field logic updates while the system remains operational.
• Flexible I/O Support: Features programmable sysIO buffers supporting LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, LVDS, and other standards.

Applications

• Glue logic integration
• Bus bridging and interfacing
• Power-up control systems
• Control logic implementation

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the Automotive grade (LA prefix) and the ftBGA package type. Confirm the temperature grade matches project requirements, as the 'E' suffix typically denotes commercial/industrial variants within the broader MachXO line, though the LA prefix indicates automotive qualification testing per the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this device when transitioning from CPLDs to FPGAs is required for designs needing instant-on capabilities and reconfigurability. Ensure the design fits within the 1200 LUT limit and utilizes the single available PLL. Verify that the 211 maximum I/O count meets interface requirements and that the 1.2V core voltage aligns with system power constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the LA-MachXO Automotive Family, which combines FPGA flexibility with CPLD-like security and instant-on performance. The LA-MachXO series is optimized for low-capacity logic applications, offering density migration options across devices ranging from 256 to 2280 LUTs within the same family architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements within the same family include LAMXO640E and LAMXO2280E, provided pin counts and logic resources are sufficient. For non-automotive applications, the standard MachXO1200E may be considered if AEC-Q100 qualification is not mandatory.
