The LFCPNX-100-8CBG256C is a mid-density FPGA from Lattice's CertusPro-NX family, packing 96,000 logic elements and 169 I/O into a 256-ball WLP package. That logic count puts it above the 50-70K LE range of smaller siblings, making it a fit for sensor fusion, bridge chips, or co-processing where you need fabric but not a 400-ball BGA. The 0.95 V core supply keeps dynamic power in check, but the regulator on that rail needs to be clean and rated for the full fabric load — don't skimp on the LDO or switcher.
I/O count vs. package — the layout constraint
169 I/O in a 256-ball WLP means most balls are signal — the ball-to-ball pitch on a WLP is tight, and fan-out on a 4-layer board is feasible but requires careful via placement. Compare to the LFCPNX-100-7BFG484C, which offers 309 I/O in a 484-ball BGA — that part gives you more routing headroom but a larger footprint and higher board cost.
Commercial temperature grade — indoor use only
That is a commercial-grade envelope — fine for office equipment, test gear, or indoor industrial controllers. Not rated for engine bay, outdoor telecom cabinets, or downhole tools; if your environment exceeds 85°C junction, step to an industrial-grade variant in the same family.
