SiliconBlue iCE65 mobileFPGA Family Strengthens Consumer Handheld Leadership with World's First Wafer Level Chip Scale Package SRAM FPGAs
Update: Lattice Semiconductor to Acquire SiliconBlue (Dec 09, 2011)
- Leading-edge technology for smallest board space and maximum FPGA logic & I/Os
- In production now at 0.4mm & sampling 0.5mm ball pitch die-sized WLCSPs
- Leadership technology co-developed and manufactured with TSMC
- Broadens offering of ultra-low power, single-chip SRAM mobileFPGA family
Low Cost iCE65 WLCSP for Mobile Applications
With packaging now done at the wafer level, these WLCSPs provide the best cost solution by eliminating expensive substrates and gold wire bonding. Both 200,000 (iCE65L04) and 400,000 (iCE65L08) system gates options offer mobile handheld designers new die-sized solutions at 3.2mm x 3.9mm with 0.4mm ball pitch and at 4.4mm x 4.8mm with 0.5mm ball pitch, respectively. The combination of high-density logic and ultra-small WLCSPs provides designers the ability to integrate up to 17x more logic functionality into the same board space versus competing Flash FPGA/CPLDs.
Compared to standard surface-mount packaging, WLCSPs also provide reduced chip-to-PCB inductance and improved thermal dissipation. In addition, all package dimensions meet industry standard JEDEC/EIAJ pitches, making them directly compatible with today’s SMT assembly and test.

Price, Availability, Support
Customers can immediately begin designing with these new product/package combinations using the iCEcube™ VHDL/Verilog-based development software. Unit cost for the iCE65L04 in CS63 is $1.50US, and $3.00US for the iCE65L08 in CC72, both 1M unit quantities (2010). CS63 is now available in high volume and CC72 available in sample quantities.
