LCMXO1200C-3MN132C

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is the name given to a type of integrated circuit that is designed to be programmed by a user to perform a variety of specific functions or tasks. It is different from an off-the-shelf, general purpose microprocessor, as a FPGA is a digital chip that can be customized to suit a particular application, while the microprocessor is a standard, non-programmable device. FPGAs are widely used in embedded systems and are now becoming more prevalent in automotive, aerospace, and medical applications.

LCMXO1200C-3MN132C is an FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor designed for embedded and automotive applications. It is based on the Lattice CrossLink-N FPGA device and features a 9.65 mm2 core, with a total die size of up to 1560 mm2. It offers 4,096 LUTs for logic functions, 32 Kbits of embedded RAM, and 160 18-bit DSP cores for processing. It also features 112 I/Os, 12 SERDES channels, 7 high-speed SERDES channels, DDR3, and QDRII support.

The LCMXO1200C-3MN132C is an ideal solution for a range of automotive applications such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), engine and transmission controllers, body control module, exhaust control, suspension control, and more. It can also be used in more general embedded applications, such as industrial automation, machine vision, and medical imaging. Using its programmable logic, the device can be programmed to perform the specific functions required for the application. It is also designed to be power efficient, with a standby current of 5 μA and active currents as low as 110 mA at 3.3 V.
