LFE2M20SE-5FN256C

LFE2M20SE-5FN256C is a small, low‑power FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor in the LFE2M family. It provides a configurable logic fabric with embedded memory and DSP resources, aimed at cost‑ and space‑constrained boards for glue logic, lightweight DSP, and embedded control.
Packaging and speed: in a 256‑pin FineLine BGA (FN256C) with the -5 speed grade, offering moderate clock capability with low power and small board area.
Key features (typical): scalable logic elements, RAM blocks, dedicated multipliers/DSP resources, multiple I/O banks with voltage‑tolerant I/Os, and clock management resources (PLLs) to support synchronous designs.
Tool chain: supported by Lattice Diamond or Radiant; design in Verilog or VHDL, synthesize, implement, simulate, and program via JTAG or SPI.
Typical uses: compact control logic, signal conditioning, small data-path processing, interface adapters, and glue logic on cost-sensitive products.
Note: for exact counts (LEs, RAM, I/Os), timing, and power specs, consult the Lattice LFE2M20SE datasheet and programming guide.

The device uses a 256-ball FineLine BGA package (FN256C).
