Lattice MachXO3 Family

MachXO3 Family

Description

MachXO3 device family is an Ultra-Low Density family that supports the most advanced programmable bridging and I/O expansion. It has the breakthrough I/O density and the lowest cost per I/O. The device I/O features have the integrated support for latest industry standard I/O. The MachXO3L/LF family of low power, instant-on, non-volatile PLDs has five devices with densities ranging from 640 to 9400 Look-Up Tables (LUTs). In addition to LUT-based, low-cost programmable logic these devices feature Embedded Block RAM (EBR), Distributed RAM, Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), pre-engineered source synchronous I/O support, advanced configuration support including dual-boot capability and hardened versions of commonly used functions such as SPI controller, I2C controller and timer/counter. MachXO3LF devices also support User Flash Memory (UFM). These features allow these devices to be used in low cost, high volume consumer and system applications. The MachXO3L/LF devices are designed on a 65nm non-volatile low power process. The device architecture has several features such as programmable low swing differential I/Os and the ability to turn off I/O banks, on-chip PLLs and oscillators dynamically. These features help manage static and dynamic power consumption resulting in low static power for all members of the family. The MachXO3L/LF devices are available in two versions C and E with two speed grades: -5 and -6, with -6 being the fastest. C devices have an internal linear voltage regulator which supports external VCC supply voltages of 3.3 V or 2.5 V. E devices only accept 1.2 V as the external VCC supply voltage. With the exception of power supply voltage both C and E are functionally compatible with each other. The MachXO3L/LF PLDs are available in a broad range of advanced halogen-free packages ranging from the space saving 2.5 x 2.5 mm WLCSP to the 19 x 19 mm caBGA. MachXO3L/LF devices support density migration within the same package. Table 1.1 shows the LUT densities, package and I/O options, along with other key parameters.The MachXO3L/LF devices offer enhanced I/O features such as drive strength control, slew rate control, PCI compatibility, bus-keeper latches, pull-up resistors, pull-down resistors, open drain outputs and hot socketing. Pull-up, pull-down and bus-keeper features are controllable on a “per-pin” basis. A userprogrammable internal oscillator is included in MachXO3L/LF devices. The clock output from this oscillator may be divided by the timer/counter for use as clock input in functions such as LED control, keyboard scanner and similar state machines. The MachXO3L/LF devices also provide flexible, reliable and secure configuration from on-chip NVCM/Flash. These devices can also configure themselves from external SPI Flash or be configured by an external master through the JTAG test access port or through the I2C port. Additionally, MachXO3L/LF devices support dual-boot capability (using external Flash memory) and remote field upgrade (TransFR) capability. Lattice provides a variety of design tools that allow complex designs to be efficiently implemented using the MachXO3L/LF family of devices. Popular logic synthesis tools provide synthesis library support for MachXO3L/LF. Lattice design tools use the synthesis tool output along with the user-specified preferences and constraints to place and route the design in the MachXO3L/LF device. These tools extract the timing from the routing and back-annotate it into the design for timing verification. Lattice provides many pre-engineered IP (Intellectual Property) LatticeCORE modules, including a number of reference designs licensed free of charge, optimized for the MachXO3L/LF PLD family. By using these configurable soft core IP cores as standardized blocks, users are free to concentrate on the unique aspects of their design, increasing their productivity.
