LFE5U-25F-7BG256I

The LFE5U-25F-7BG256I is a mid-density FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor’s ECP5U family. It packs roughly 25,000 logic elements (LEs) with on-chip memory, DSP blocks, and configurable I/O in a 256-ball BGA package. The “7” is the speed grade, “BG256” the package, and the “I” denotes industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C). It’s designed for cost- and power-conscious designs that still need decent logic density and data-path performance, suitable for edge/embedded applications such as networking, video preprocessing, sensor interfacing, and small DSP tasks. Features include multiple I/O banks, PLLs for clocking, and high-speed SERDES/transceivers for various interfaces. The device is supported by Lattice design tools (Radiant/ Diamond) and standard HDL flows (Verilog/VHDL). In short: a compact, power-efficient FPGA for mid-density implementations with flexible I/O and embedded resources.
