Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LFN' against official Lattice documentation to confirm pinout and package dimensions, as variations exist within the ECP3 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Ensure design files match the exact speed grade '-6'. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 17K logic resources and 133 I/Os are sufficient for the design requirements. Compare against the FN484 variant if a larger package is acceptable for better thermal performance or additional routing space. Verify that the 0°C to +85°C commercial temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the target application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Lattice ECP3 series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate logic density. It serves as a mid-range solution between the smaller LFE2 series and higher-density ECP3 models. The FPBGA-256 package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs compared to the 484-pin variants in the same logical family.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitutes include other LFE3-17EA variants with different packages or speed grades, such as LFE3-17EA-6FN484C, provided pin compatibility and resource levels meet the design needs. No cross-manufacturer equivalents are documented in the provided source material.
