The Lattice Semiconductor iCE40 LP-Series and HX-Series programmable logic family are designed to deliver the lowest static and dynamic power consumption of any comparable CPLD or FPGA device. iCE40 FPGAs are designed specifically for cost-sensitive， high-volume applications. iCE40 FPGA are fully user-programmable and can self-configure from a configuration image stored in on-chip， nonvolatile configuration memory （NVCM） or stored in an external commodity SPI serial Flash PROM or downloaded from an external processor over an SPI-like serial port. iCE40 components deliver from approximately 640 to 7，680 logic cells and flip-flops while consuming a fraction of the power of comparable programmable logic devices. Each iCE40 device includes 8 to 32 RAM blocks， each with 4Kbits storage， for on-chip data storage and data buffering.
Each iCE40 device consists of five primary architectural elements.
An array of Programmable Logic Blocks （PLBs）
Each PLB contains eight Logic Cells （LCs）; each Logic Cell consists of …
A fast， four-input look-up table （LUT4） capable of implementing any combinational logic function of up to four inputs， regardless of complexity
A‘D’-type flip-flop with an optional clock-enable and set/reset control
Fast carry logic accelerates arithmetic functions： adders， subtracters， comparators， and counters.
Common clock input with polarity control， clock-enable input， and optional set/reset control input to the PLB is shared among all eight Logic Cells
Two-port， 4Kbit RAM blocks （RAM4K）
256x16 default configuration; selectable data width using programmable logic resources
Simultaneous read and write access; ideal for FIFO memory and data buffering applications
RAM contents pre-loadable during configuration
Four I/O banks with independent supply voltage， multiple Programmable Input/Output （PIO） blocks
LVCMOS I/O standards and LVDS outputs supported in all banks
I/O Bank 3 supports additional LVDS， and SubLVDS I/O standards
One or two Phase-Locked Loops （PLL）
Very low power
Clock multiplication and division
Phase shifting in fixed 90° increments
Static or dynamic phase shifting
Programmable interconnections between all programmable logic functions
Eight dedicated low-skew， high-fanout clock distribution networks
