12K LUTs in a 17x17 mm BGA — what the logic density buys you
The LFE5U-12F-6BG381I is a mid-density ECP5 FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor, packing 12,000 logic cells (3000 LABs/CLBs) and 589,824 bits of block RAM into a 381-ball CABGA package that measures 17x17 mm. The 197 user I/O give you enough pins to route a parallel display bus, a DDR memory interface, and a handful of serial peripherals without multiplexing — useful when the board area is tight but the pin count still needs to breathe.
Industrial temperature grade and single-rail core
The core supply is a single 1.045-1.155 V rail, so you only need one clean 1.1 V regulator for the FPGA fabric, not a multi-rail sequencing headache.
