Introduction
The iCE40LM family of ultra-low power FPGAs has three devices with densities ranging from 1100 to 3520 Look-
Up Tables (LUTs). In addition to LUT-based, low-cost programmable logic, these devices also feature Embedded
Block RAM (EBR), two Strobe Generators (LPSG, HSSG), two hardened I2C Controllers and two hardened SPI
Controllers. These features allow the devices to be used in low-cost, high-volume consumer and mobile applica-
tions.
The iCE40LM devices are fabricated on a 40nm CMOS low power process. The device architecture has several
features such as user configurable I2C and SPI Controllers, either as master or slave, and two Strobe Generators.
The iCE40LM FPGAs are available in very small form factor packages, with the smallest in 25-pin WLCSP. The 25-
pin WLCSP package has a 0.35 mm ball pitch, resulting to an overall package size of 1.71 mm x 1.71 mm that eas-
ily fits into a lot of mobile applications. Table 1-1 shows the LUT densities, package and I/O pin count.
The iCE40LM devices offer enhanced I/O features such as pull-up resistors. Pull-up features are controllable on a
“per-pin” basis.
Lattice provides a variety of design tools that allow complex designs to be efficiently implemented using the
iCE40LM family of devices. Popular logic synthesis tools provide synthesis library support for iCE40LM. Lattice
design tools use the synthesis tool output along with the user-specified preferences and constraints to place and
route the design in the iCE40LM 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) modules, including a number of reference designs,
licensed free of charge, optimized for the iCE40LM FPGA family. Lattice also can provide fully verified bit-stream for
some of the widely used target functions in mobile device applications, such as ultra-low power sensor manage-
ment, gesture recognition, IR remote, barcode emulator functions. Users can use these functions as offered by Lat-
tice, or they can use the design to create their own unique required functions. For more information regarding
Lattice's Reference Designs or fully-verified bitstreams, please contact your local Lattice representative.

Architecture Overview
The iCE40LM family architecture contains an array of Programmable Logic Blocks (PLB), two Strobe Generators,
two user configurable I2C controllers, two user configurable SPI controllers, and blocks of sysMEM™ Embedded
Block RAM (EBR) surrounded by Programmable I/O (PIO). Figure 2-1shows the block diagram of the iCE40LM-4K
device.
Figure 2-1. iCE40LM-4K Device, Top View
The logic blocks, Programmable Logic Blocks (PLB) and sysMEM EBR blocks, are arranged in a two-dimensional
grid with rows and columns. Each column has either logic blocks or EBR blocks. The PIO cells are located at the
top and bottom of the device, arranged in banks. The PLB contains the building blocks for logic, arithmetic, and reg-
ister functions. The PIOs utilize a flexible I/O buffer referred to as a sysIO buffer that supports operation with a vari-
ety of interface standards. The blocks are connected with many vertical and horizontal routing channel resources.
The place and route software tool automatically allocates these routing resources.
In the iCE40LM family, There are two sysIO banks, one on top and one on bottom. User can connect both VCCIOs
together, if all the I/Os are using the same voltage standard. Refer to the details in later sections of this document.
The sysMEM EBRs are large 4 kbit, dedicated fast memory blocks. These blocks can be configured as RAM, ROM
or FIFO with user logic using PLBs.
Every device in the family has two user SPI ports, one of these (right side) SPI port also supports programming
and configuration of the device. The iCE40LM also includes two user I2C ports, and two Strobe Generators.

PLB Blocks
The core of the iCE40LM device consists of Programmable Logic Blocks (PLB) which can be programmed to per-
form logic and arithmetic functions. Each PLB consists of eight interconnected Logic Cells (LC) as shown in
Figure 2-2. Each LC contains one LUT and one register.
Figure 2-2. PLB Block Diagram
Logic Cells
Each Logic Cell includes three primary logic elements shown in Figure 2-2.
A four-input Look-Up Table (LUT) builds any combinational logic function, of any complexity, requiring up to
four inputs. Similarly, the LUT element behaves as a 16x1 Read-Only Memory (ROM). Combine and cascade
multiple LUTs to create wider logic functions.
A ‘D’-style Flip-Flop (DFF), with an optional clock-enable and reset control input, builds sequential logic func-
tions. Each DFF also connects to a global reset signal that is automatically asserted immediately following
device configuration.
Carry Logic boosts the logic efficiency and performance of arithmetic functions, including adders, subtracters,
comparators, binary counters and some wide, cascaded logic functions.

Routing
There are many resources provided in the iCE40LM devices to route signals individually with related control sig-
nals. The routing resources consist of switching circuitry, buffers and metal interconnect (routing) segments.
The inter-PLB connections are made with three different types of routing resources: Adjacent (spans two PLBs), x4
(spans five PLBs) and x12 (spans thirteen PLBs). The Adjacent, x4 and x12 connections provide fast and efficient
connections in the diagonal, horizontal and vertical directions.
The design tool takes the output of the synthesis tool and places and routes the design.
Clock/Control Distribution Network
Each iCE40LM device has six global inputs, two pins on the top bank and four pins on the bottom bank
These global inputs can be used as high fanout nets, clock, reset or enable signals. The dedicated global pins are
identified as Gxx and the global buffers are identified as GBUF[7:0]. These six inputs may be used as general pur-
pose I/O if they are not used to drive the clock nets.
Table 2-2 lists the connections between a specific global buffer and the inputs on a PLB. All global buffers optionally
connect to the PLB CLK input. Any four of the eight global buffers can drive logic inputs to a PLB. Even-numbered
global buffers optionally drive the Set/Reset input to a PLB. Similarly, odd-numbered buffers optionally drive the
PLB clock-enable input. GBUF[7:6, 3:0] can connect directly to G[7:6, 3:0] pins respectively. GBUF4 and GBUF5
can connect to the two on-chip Strobe Generators (GBUF4 connects to LPSG, GBUF5 connects to HSSG).
Table 2-2. Global Buffer (GBUF) Connections to Programmable Logic Blocks
The maximum frequency for the global buffers are shown in the iCE40LM External Switching Characteristics tables
later in this document.
Global Hi-Z Control
The global high-impedance control signal, GHIZ, connects to all I/O pins on the iCE40LM device. This GHIZ signal
is automatically asserted throughout the configuration process, forcing all user I/O pins into their high-impedance
state.
Global Reset Control
The global reset control signal connects to all PLB and PIO flip-flops on the iCE40LM device. The global reset sig-
nal is automatically asserted throughout the configuration process, forcing all flip-flops to their defined wake-up
state. For PLB flip-flops, the wake-up state is always reset, regardless of the PLB flip-flop primitive used in the
application.

sysCLOCK Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) - NOT SUPPORTED on the 25-Pin WLCSP
The sysCLOCK PLLs provide the ability to synthesize clock frequencies. The iCE40LM devices have one sys-
CLOCK PLL (Please note that the 25-pin WLCSP package does not support the PLL). REFERENCECLK is the ref-
erence frequency input to the PLL and its source can come from an external I/O pin, the internal strobe generator
or from internal routing. EXTFEEDBACK is the feedback signal to the PLL which can come from internal routing or
an external I/O pin. The feedback divider is used to multiply the reference frequency and thus synthesize a higher
frequency clock output.
The PLLOUT output has an output divider, thus allowing the PLL to generate different frequencies for each output.
The output divider can have a value from 1 to 64 (in increments of 2X). The PLLOUT outputs can all be used to
drive the iCE40 global clock network directly or general purpose routing resources can be used.
The LOCK signal is asserted when the PLL determines it has achieved lock and de-asserted if a loss of lock is
detected. A block diagram of the PLL is shown in Figure 2-3.
The timing of the device registers can be optimized by programming a phase shift into the PLLOUT output clock
which will advance or delay the output clock with reference to the REFERENCECLK clock. This phase shift can be
either programmed during configuration or can be adjusted dynamically. In dynamic mode, the PLL may lose lock
after a phase adjustment on the output used as the feedback source and not relock until the tLOCK parameter has
been satisfied.
The iCE40LM PLL functions the same as the PLLs in the iCE40 family. For more details on the PLL, see TN1251,
iCE40 sysCLOCK PLL Design and Usage Guide.

If desired, the contents of the RAM can be pre-loaded during device configuration.
By preloading the RAM block during the chip configuration cycle and disabling the write controls, the sysMEM block
can also be utilized as a ROM.

sysIO Buffer Banks
iCE40LM devices have up to two I/O banks with independent VCCIO rails. Configuration bank VCC_SPI for the SPI
I/Os is connected to VCCIO2 on the 25-pin WLCSP package.
Programmable I/O (PIO)
The programmable logic associated with an I/O is called a PIO. The individual PIOs are connected to their respec-
tive sysIO buffers and pads. The PIOs are placed on the top and bottom of the devices.
Figure 2-5. I/O Bank and Programmable I/O Cell
The PIO contains three blocks: an input register block, output register block iCEGate™ and tri-state register block.
To save power, the optional iCEGateTM latch can selectively freeze the state of individual, non-registered inputs
within an I/O bank. Note that the freeze signal is common to the bank. These blocks can operate in a variety of
modes along with the necessary clock and selection logic.
Input Register Block
The input register blocks for the PIOs on all edges contain registers that can be used to condition high-speed inter-
face signals before they are passed to the device core.
Output Register Block
The output register block can optionally register signals from the core of the device before they are passed to the
sysIO buffers.
Figure 2-6 shows the input/output register block for the PIOs.

Typical I/O Behavior During Power-up
The internal power-on-reset (POR) signal is deactivated when VCC, VCCIO_0, VCCIO_2 and VCC_SPI (VCC_SPI is con-
nected to VCCIO_2 on the 25-pin WLCSP and 36-pin ucBGA packages) reach the level defined in the Power-On-
Reset Voltage table in the DC and Switching Characteristics section of this data sheet. After the POR signal is
deactivated, the FPGA core logic becomes active. You must ensure that all VCCIO banks are active with valid input
logic levels to properly control the output logic states of all the I/O banks that are critical to the application. The
default configuration of the I/O pins in a device prior to configuration is tri-stated with a weak pull-up to VCCIO. The
I/O pins maintain the pre-configuration state until VCC and VCCIO_2 reach the defined levels. The I/Os take on the
software user-configured settings only after VCC_SPI reaches the level and the device performs a proper download/
configuration. Unused I/Os are automatically blocked and the pull-up termination is disabled.
Supported Standards
The iCE40LM sysIO buffer supports all single-ended input and output standards. The buffer supports the LVCMOS
1.8, 2.5, and 3.3 V standards. The buffer has individually configurable options for bus maintenance (weak pull-up or
none).
Table 2-7 and Table 2-8 show the I/O standards (together with their supply and reference voltages) supported by
the iCE40LM devices.
Table 2-7. Supported Input Standards
Table 2-8. Supported Output Standards
On-Chip Strobe Generators
The iCE40LM devices feature two different Strobe Generators. One is tailored for low-power operation (Low Power
Strobe Generator – LPSG), and generates periodic strobes in the Microsecond (µs) ranges. The other is tailored
for high speed operation (High Speed Strobe Generator – HSSG), and generates periodic strobes in the Nanosec-
ond (ns) ranges.Add a paragraph:
The Strobe Generators (HSSG and LPSG) provide fixed periodic strobes, and these strobes can be used as a
clock source. When used as a clock source, the HSSG can provide strobe frequency in the range of 5 MHz - 20
MHz. The LPSG can provide strobe frequency in the range of 4 kHz - 20 kHz.
For further information on how to use the LPSG and HSSG, please refer to TN1275, iCE40LM On-Chip Strobe

User I2C IP
The iCE40LM devices have two I2C IP cores. Either of the two cores can be configured either as an I2C master or
as an I2C slave. Both I2C cores have preassigned pins, or user can select different pins, when the core is used.
When the IP core is configured as master, it will be able to control other devices on the I2C bus through the pre-
assigned pin interface. When the core is configured as the slave, the device will be able to provide I/O expansion to
an I2C Master. The I2C cores support the following functionality:
Master and Slave operation
7-bit and 10-bit addressing
Multi-master arbitration support
Clock stretching
Up to 400 kHz data transfer speed
General Call support
For further information on the User I2C, please refer to TN1274, iCE40 I2C and SPI Hardened IP Usage Guide.
User SPI IP
The iCE40LM devices have two SPI IP cores. Both SPI cores have preassigned pins, or user can select different
pins, when the SPI core is used. Both SPI IP core can be configured as a SPI master or as a slave. When the SPI
IP core is configured as a master, it controls the other SPI enabled devices connected to the SPI Bus. When SPI IP
core is configured as a slave, the device will be able to interface to an external SPI master.
The SPI IP core supports the following functions:
Configurable Master and Slave modes
Full-Duplex data transfer
Mode fault error flag with CPU interrupt capability
Double-buffered data register
Serial clock with programmable polarity and phase
LSB First or MSB First Data Transfer
For further information on the User SPI, please refer to TN1274, iCE40 I2C and SPI Hardened IP Usage Guide.
High Drive I/O Pins
The iCE40LM family devices offer 3 High Drive (HD) outputs in each device in the family. The HD outputs are ideal
to drive LED signals on mobile application.
These HD outputs can be driven in different drive modes. The default is standard drive, which source/sink 8mA cur-
rent nominally. When HD drive option is selected, these HD outputs can source/sink 24mA current nominally.
The pins on the HD I/Os are labeled with HD in it.
Power On Reset
iCE40LM devices have power-on reset circuitry to monitor VCC, VCCIO_0, VCCIO_2 and VCC_SPI voltage levels dur-
ing power-up and operation. At power-up, the POR circuitry monitors these voltage levels. It then triggers down-
load from the external Flash memory after reaching the power-up levels specified in the Power-On-Reset Voltage
table in the DC and Switching Characteristics section of this data sheet. Before and during configuration, the I/Os
are held in tri-state. I/Os are released to user functionality once the device has finished configuration.

The iCE40LM devices feature iCEGate and PLL low power mode to allow users to meet the static and dynamic
power requirements of their applications. Table 2-9 describes the function of these features.
Table 2-9. iCE40LM Power Saving Features Description
Device Subsystem Feature Description
PLL When LATCHINPUTVALUE is enabled, forces the PLL into low-power mode; PLL output held static
at last input clock value.
iCEGate
To save power, the optional iCEGate latch can selectively freeze the state of individual, non-regis-
tered inputs within an I/O bank. Registered inputs are effectively frozen by their associated clock or
clock-enable control.

Power Up Sequence
For all iCE40LM devices, it is required to have the VCC/VCCPLL power supply powered up before all other power
supplies. The VCC/VCCPLL has to be higher than 0.5 V before other supplies are powered from GND.
In addition, for all iCE40LM devices, it is required that VCCSPI not be the last power supply to ramp up. The VCCSPI
has to be higher than 0.5 V before the last supply is ramped.
In the required power up sequence, VCC/VCCPLL should be ramped first. Following VCC/VCCPLL, VCCSPI should be
ramped next, followed by the remaining supplies. On the 25-pin WLCSP, VCCPLL is connected to VCC, and is pow-
ered up together with VCC. On the 25-pin WLCSP and 36-pin caBGA, VCCIO_2 is connected to VCC_SPI, and should
be powered up right after VCC/VCCPLL with VCCSPI. Due to this connection, VCCIO_0 cannot connect to VCCIO_2
even if they are at the same supply voltage. The sequence is defined below:
For 49-pin caBGA: VCC, VCCPLL, VCC_SPI, VCCIO_0 and VCCIO_2; Order of VCCIO_0 and VCCIO_2 is not important.
For 36-pin caBGA: VCC, VCCPLL, VCC_SPI/VCCIO_2, VCCIO_0
For 25-pin WLCSP: VCC/VCCPLL, VCC_SPI/VCCIO_2, VCCIO_0
There is no power down sequence required. However, when partial power supplies are powered down, it is
required that the above sequence is followed when these supplies are powered up again.
