LFXP20C-3F484C

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits (ICs) that allow users to program the characteristics of the chip to achieve customised capabilities. The LFXP20C-3F484C is a type of FPGA which is purpose-built to reduce the time, cost, and power required for implementing system functions, such as image processing, computer-aided design, and machine learning. It is designed to provide greater flexibility, faster development and deployment cycles, and lower overall costs for these applications.

The LFXP20C-3F484C is ideal for applications where a large amount of digital logic resources are required in order to manage or control large amounts of data. This includes applications such as data centre controller interfaces, encryption controllers, and digital signal processors (DSPs). Additionally, the device can be used in embedded systems, such as sensors, automotive entertainment systems, and machine vision.

The device is based on a 18K modular architecture, with two fast and configurable embedded RAMs and dedicated memory interfaces. It has 4-bit digital I/O, allowing for direct connection to peripheral devices, as well as two-way communication with processors. The device also has advanced features, such as clock source selection, advanced power management, and advanced programming logic.

The LFXP20C-3F484C also has a wide range of development and programming tools, making it easy to use for anyone developing applications requiring FPGAs.
