Lattice公司的iCE40 HX超低功耗mobileFPGA系列,和其它任何的CPLD或FPGA器件相比,可提供最低的静态和动态功耗,大约640到7680个逻辑单元和触发器,每个器件包含8到32个RAM区块,每个区块有4Kb存储,用于数据存储和缓冲,特别适合对成本敏感和量大的应用.本文介绍了iCE40 HX系列主要特性,iCE40 HX系列架构图,主要产品和特性,以及iCEblink40 iCE40HX1K 评估板主要特性,电路图,主要元件清单和PCB元件布局图.

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
