ORCA Series 4 FPGAs
■ Traditional I/O selections:
— LVTTL and LVCMOS (3.3 V, 2.5 V, and 1.8 V)
I/Os.
Introduction
Built on the Series 4 reconfigurable embedded sys-
tem-on-chip (SoC) architecture, Lattice introduces its
new family of generic field-programmable gate arrays
(FPGA). The high-performance and highly versatile
architecture brings a new dimension to bringing net-
work system designs to market in less time than ever
before. This new device family offers many new fea-
tures and architectural enhancements not available
in any earlier FPGA generations. Bringing together
highly flexible SRAM-based programmable logic,
powerful system features, a rich hierarchy of routing
and interconnect resources, and meeting multiple
interface standards, the Series 4 FPGA accommo-
dates the most complex and high-performance intel-
lectual property (IP) network designs.
— Per pin-selectable I/O clamping diodes provide
3.3 V PCI compliance.
— Individually programmable drive capability:
24 mA sink/12 mA source, 12 mA sink/6 mA
source, or 6 mA sink/3 mA source.
— Two slew rates supported (fast and slew-lim-
ited).
— Fast-capture input latch and input flip-flop
(FF)/latch for reduced input setup time and zero
hold time.
— Fast open-drain drive capability.
— Capability to register 3-state enable signal.
— Off-chip clock drive capability.
— Two-input function generator in output path.
■ New programmable high-speed I/O:
— Single-ended: GTL, GTL+, PECL, SSTL3/2
(class I and II), HSTL (Class I, III, and IV), ZBT,
and DDR.
— Double-ended: LDVS, bused-LVDS, and
LVPECL. Programmable (on/off) internal parallel
termination (100 Ω) also supported for these
I/Os.
Programmable Features
■ High-performance platform design:
— 0.16 µm 7-level metal technology.
— Internal performance of >250 MHz.
— I/O performance of >420 MHz.
— Meets multiple I/O interface standards.
— 1.5 V operation (30% less power than 1.8 V
operation) translates to greater performance.

* The usable gate counts range from a logic-only gate count to a gate count assuming 20% of the PFUs/SLICs being used as RAMs. The
logic-only gate count includes each PFU/SLIC (counted as 108 gates/PFU), including 12 gates per LUT/FF pair (eight per PFU), and
12 gates per SLIC/FF pair (one per PFU). Each of the four PIO groups are counted as 16 gates (three FFs, fast-capture latch, output logic,
CLK, and I/O buffers). PFUs used as RAM are counted at four gates per bit, with each PFU capable of implementing a 32 x 4 RAM (or 512
gates) per PFU. Embedded block RAM (EBR) is counted as four gates per bit plus each block has an additional 25 K gates.
7 K gates are used for each PLL and 50K gates for the embedded system bus and microprocessor interface logic. Both the EBR and PLLs
are conservatively utilized in the gate count calculations.
Note: Devices are not pinout compatible with ORCA Series 2/3.
