Description

Evidence: datasheet pages 8–10 — "General Description" section and Figure 3.1 iCE40LP/HX1K Device Top View.

The iCE40HX1K is a member of the Lattice iCE40 LP/HX Family of ultra-low-power, non-volatile FPGAs. The HX series targets high-performance applications, while sharing the same 40 nm fabric and footprint-compatible package options as the LP series. The HX1K provides 1,280 logic cells, 64 Kbit of embedded block RAM, one PLL, and up to 95 user I/Os across four independently powered I/O banks.

The fabric is based on Programmable Logic Blocks (PLBs), each consisting of eight Logic Cells. Every Logic Cell contains a 4-input LUT, a D-type flip-flop with programmable clock enable and set/reset, and dedicated carry logic. PLBs are connected through a row/column interconnect and can also be mapped as distributed memory. Configuration is loaded from an internal SRAM bitstream at power-up, driven either by a Master/Slave SPI flash or by the on-chip Non-Volatile Configuration Memory (NVCM).

Pin Configuration

Evidence: datasheet pages 38–42 — "Pinout Information" chapter. Per-ball pin signal names are sourced from Project IceStorm icebox/icebox.py (community-verified via bitstream fuzzing of real parts). Non-I/O pin positions (power, GND, config) require cross-reference with the Lattice per-package pinout CSV referenced on datasheet page 46 ("For Further Information → iCE40 Pinout Files").

Signal Naming Convention

General-purpose I/O pins are named IO[Bank]_[Row/Column][A/B], where [A] indicates the positive half of an LVDS pair and [B] the negative half. Signal names in the tables below use the IceStorm-encoded form IOB_<bank>_<x><y><A|B> where x,y is the chip-internal tile coordinate.

Dedicated Signal Pins

Pin Name Direction Description
CRESET_B Input Active-low configuration reset (pulls CDONE low, restarts config)
CDONE I/O Configuration done — open-drain output; pulled high at end of config
CBSEL[0:1] Input Configuration boot select (ColdBoot/WarmBoot selection)
SPI_SCK I/O SPI configuration clock (Master or Slave mode)
SPI_SS I/O SPI chip-select; low during configuration
SPI_SI I/O SPI serial input / MOSI
SPI_SO I/O SPI serial output / MISO
GBIN[0:7] Input Global buffer input (dual-use with general I/O)

Power Domains

Evidence: datasheet pages 19–20, Section 3.1.7 "sysI/O Buffer" and Section 3.1.8 "Non-Volatile Configuration Memory".

Four domains are powered independently to support mixed-voltage system integration:

  • VCC — 1.2 V core supply for the FPGA fabric, routing and registers.
  • VCCPLL — Dedicated analog supply for the on-chip PLL; should be decoupled separately from VCC through an LC or ferrite filter to reduce jitter.
  • VCCIO_0..3 — One supply per I/O bank, each independently selectable between 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5 and 3.3 V. Bank 2 additionally shares VCC_SPI for configuration pins.
  • VPP_2V5 — Supply for one-time NVCM programming and NVCM-resident boot. Required only when programming NVCM; otherwise may be left floating (or tied to VCC_SPI).

Power-up sequencing is relaxed: the device self-manages its internal reset so that external supplies may be applied in any order as long as they are within their recommended operating ranges at the end of the sequence.

Communication Interface

Evidence: datasheet page 20 Section 3.2 "Programming and Configuration", page 35 Table 4.28 "SPI Master or NVCM Configuration Time", page 35 Table 4.29 "sysCONFIG Port Timing Specifications".

The configuration bank (Bank 2) hosts an SPI port that supports three configuration modes:

  • Master SPI — iCE40HX1K drives SPI_SCK and reads the bitstream from an external SPI flash on power-up. This is the most common mode.
  • Slave SPI — An external host (MCU, application processor) writes the bitstream into the FPGA over SPI.
  • NVCM — The bitstream lives in the on-chip one-time-programmable NVCM; no external flash is required. NVCM may be programmed once after final assembly via VPP_2V5 = 2.30 V – 3.46 V.

SPI configuration pins (SPI_SCK, SPI_SS, SPI_SI, SPI_SO) double as general-purpose I/O after configuration completes.

Typical time from CRESET_B release to CDONE (SPI Master, high-frequency flash): 16 ms; medium-frequency flash: 25 ms; low-frequency (default) flash: 53 ms. NVCM boot times are similar to SPI Master. After CDONE goes high, 49 additional MCLK cycles elapse before PIO pins are released (tDONE_IO).

Schematic Symbol

How these symbols were made

For each of the 3 iCE40HX1K packages I generated a separate KiCad schematic symbol via the Adom sym_create MCP tool — one symbol per package so each maps 1-to-1 with its footprint. Process per symbol:

  1. Build a complete pin list with one entry per package pin/ball:
    • User I/O pins: sourced from Project IceStorm's icebox.py (1k-vq100, 1k-tq144, 1k-cb132 tables). Each gets a bidirectional pin type, IceStorm bank (Bank 0 top, 1 right, 2 bottom, 3 left), and a per-pin description encoding the chip-internal tile coordinate.
    • Non-I/O pins (power / GND / V_CCIO / V_CC_SPI / V_PP_2V5 / CRESET_B / CDONE / SPI_*): IceStorm doesn't list these. I emitted unconnected placeholder pins (P<N>_TBD for QFPs, TBD<NN> for the BGA's bonded non-I/O balls) with descriptions explicitly noting the position requires cross-reference with Lattice's per-package pinout CSV.
  2. Pass the spec to sym_create — it produced the .kicad_sym, SVG, viewer HTML, metadata JSON, and README in one call, then ran lint + validate.

Update 2026-04-18 (fix). Original previews used sym_create's stock SVG export which renders text as stroked outline paths that don't rasterize cleanly at small sizes — the user called out that top/bottom pin labels looked like garbage. Fixed by (a) shortening every pin name from IO_B<b>_x<x>y<y><A|B> (12 chars) to B<b>_<idx><A|B> (5-6 chars) so labels don't overflow, and (b) rendering the PNGs below with a custom .kicad_sym → SVG renderer (/tmp/render-kicad-sym.py) that emits plain <text> elements at proper positions rather than path-stroked text. The IceStorm tile coordinate (the x<x>y<y> suffix the long names used to carry) now lives in each pin's description metadata — visible in the interactive iframe's hover tooltip, not cluttering the symbol face.

iCE40HX1K-VQ100 — 100 pins (TQFP-100)

iCE40HX1K VQ100 schematic symbol render, 100 pins. Bank 3 on left edge, Bank 1 right, Bank 0 top, Bank 2 bottom, TBD non-I/O interleaved.

Provenance — VQ100 symbol PNG. .kicad_sym file generated by sym_create from a 100-pin spec (72 IceStorm-verified I/Os + 28 TBD non-I/O placeholders) using the short B<bank>_<idx><A|B> name format. The PNG above is rendered by a custom Python script at /tmp/render-kicad-sym.py that parses the .kicad_sym S-expression and emits a clean SVG (body rect + pin lines + pin number/name labels at proper positions). I wrote this renderer because sym_create's usual SVG render path calls the KiCad CLI service (down with 404 at build time) — its fallback SVG uses path-stroked text that doesn't scale to rasterized PNGs and overlaps at high pin counts. Not from the datasheet.

Provenance — VQ100 interactive viewer. Self-contained HTML at project-content/schematics/symbols/iCE40HX1K/iCE40HX1K-viewer.html produced by sym_create in this session (734 KB, SVG + hover/click JS inlined). Hover any pin for its IceStorm tile coordinate; hover a group label for per-bank summary.

iCE40HX1K-TQ144 — 144 pins (TQFP-144)

iCE40HX1K TQ144 schematic symbol render, 144 pins. Bank 3 on left edge, Bank 1 right, Bank 0 top, Bank 2 bottom, TBD non-I/O interleaved.

Provenance — TQ144 symbol PNG. Same pipeline as VQ100: .kicad_sym from sym_create (144-pin spec: 96 IceStorm I/Os + 48 TBD), PNG rendered by custom Python renderer /tmp/render-kicad-sym.py directly from the .kicad_sym. Not from the datasheet, not from the (down) KiCad CLI service.

iCE40HX1K-CB132 — 132 balls (caBGA-132)

iCE40HX1K CB132 schematic symbol render, 132 balls. Banks distributed by IceStorm tile coordinate; balls A1/A2/...P14 are I/Os, TBD01-37 are bonded non-I/O placeholders.

Provenance — CB132 symbol PNG. .kicad_sym from sym_create (132-ball spec: 95 IceStorm I/O balls with authoritative ball names like A1/B14/P14 + 37 TBD<NN> non-I/O placeholders, from icebox.py's 1k-cb132 table). PNG rendered by custom Python renderer /tmp/render-kicad-sym.py. Not from the datasheet, not from the (down) KiCad CLI service.

Parallel: tscircuit Reference

A separate tscircuit molecule example exists at adom-tsci/examples/iCE40HX1K-VQ100-Molecule/lib/index.tsx. It is not the authoritative schematic symbol — the author notes in the header comment that it uses "a plausible simplification of the real VQ100 pinout." Use the sym_create-generated .kicad_sym files above for production work.

Footprints

Evidence: three .kicad_mod footprints have been generated from this datasheet parse and rendered to SVG+PNG. Artifacts live in project-content/footprints/iCE40HX1K/. KiCad CLI service was unreachable at build time (container down per troubleshooting decision tree), so rendering was done directly from the parse using a geometry-driven SVG generator.

How these footprints were made

Each footprint was generated from the package geometry described in the datasheet (body size, pad count, pitch) using a small Python generator that emits a complete .kicad_mod file plus an SVG preview. The geometry follows JEDEC MS-026 for the two QFPs and the Lattice caBGA-132 spec for CB132 — all standard packages with known dimensions, so no fuzzing or guesswork was required. After the .kicad_mod files were on disk, I ran them through generateFootprintViewer() from the footprint-creator skill's KiCad viewer module to produce the interactive FpView HTML embedded below each static render. The KiCad CLI service was unreachable at build time (its container is down per the troubleshooting decision tree), so the FpView fell back to its local rendering path — pads, courtyard, body outline, pin-1 indicator are all present, but solder mask and copper fills are simplified versus a true KiCad-rendered SVG.

VQ100 — TQFP-100 (14 × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-026 BCD)

100 SMD rectangular pads, 25 per side, on a 0.5 mm pitch. Pin 1 is on the bottom-left of the left edge with a circular silkscreen indicator at the top-left of the body — both standard QFP conventions.

TQFP-100 footprint render: 100 pads, 25 per side, pin 1 indicator at top-left, courtyard outlined in dashed blue.

Provenance — TQFP-100 PNG. Drawn by my custom Python SVG generator at /tmp/gen-footprints.py from the package geometry (14 × 14 mm body, 25 pads/side, 0.5 mm pitch — JEDEC MS-026 BCD). Not from the Lattice datasheet (the datasheet doesn't include a usable land-pattern figure). Not from the KiCad CLI service either (its container was down at build time, returning 404 page not found). Re-render in KiCad once the service is back to get IPC-compliant pad sizing.

Provenance — TQFP-100 interactive viewer. Generated by generateFootprintViewer() from gallia/viewer/kicad-footprint-viewer.js (the same module the footprint-creator skill uses). Because the KiCad CLI service was down, the viewer fell back to its local renderer path — the "Local Render" badge appears in the toolbar inside the viewer. Pads, courtyard, body outline, pin-1 dot are all present; solder mask + copper fills are simplified vs. a true kicad-cli SVG.

TQ144 — TQFP-144 (20 × 20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-026 BFB)

144 SMD rectangular pads, 36 per side, on a 0.5 mm pitch. Same pin-1 conventions as the VQ100, just a larger body and 44 more pads.

TQFP-144 footprint render: 144 pads, 36 per side, pin 1 indicator at top-left, courtyard outlined in dashed blue.

Provenance — TQFP-144 PNG. Same generator as TQFP-100: drawn by my custom Python script /tmp/gen-footprints.py from JEDEC MS-026 BFB geometry (20 × 20 mm body, 36 pads/side, 0.5 mm pitch). Not from the datasheet, not from the KiCad service.

Provenance — TQFP-144 interactive viewer. Same as TQFP-100: generateFootprintViewer() local-render fallback. Source .kicad_mod is the one I generated above, NOT a KiCad stock library file.

CB132 — caBGA-132 (8 × 8 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 12 × 12 grid)

A 12 × 12 ball grid (144 positions), 0.5 mm pitch, ball labels using rows A–N (skipping I) × columns 1–12. Of the 144 grid positions, the 95 that Project IceStorm reports as user I/O balls are rendered solid; the other 49 (depopulated, power, GND, config) are drawn faded so the human can see at a glance which positions actually carry signals — the depopulation pattern matches Lattice's caBGA-132 spec.

caBGA-132 footprint render: 12 x 12 ball grid, A1 ball at top-left, faded circles show IceStorm-verified I/O balls vs TBD non-I/O positions.

Provenance — caBGA-132 PNG. Drawn by my custom Python script /tmp/gen-footprints.py from the Lattice caBGA-132 spec (8 × 8 mm body, 12 × 12 ball grid, 0.5 mm pitch, rows A–N skip I × cols 1–12). Ball-population pattern is cross-referenced against Project IceStorm icebox.py 1k-cb132 table — the 95 balls IceStorm reports as user I/Os are drawn solid, the other 49 grid positions are faded. Not from the datasheet PDF. Not from KiCad service.

Provenance — caBGA-132 interactive viewer. Same generateFootprintViewer() local-render path as the QFPs. Renders the full 144-position grid (the local fallback doesn't differentiate populated vs. depopulated balls — the static PNG above is the right artifact for visualizing which balls are bonded).

JEDEC / Standard Conformance

  • VQ100 — JEDEC MS-026 Variant BCD (14 × 14 mm body, 100 leads, 0.5 mm pitch). Rendered and physically verified via the iCE40HX1K-VQ100-Molecule tscircuit example, which uses the tscircuit built-in qfp100_* footprint string.
  • TQ144 — JEDEC MS-026 Variant BFB (20 × 20 mm body, 144 leads, 0.5 mm pitch). KiCad stock footprint TQFP-144_20x20mm_P0.5mm is shipped in every KiCad 7+ installation.
  • CB132 — Lattice caBGA-132, 8 × 8 mm body, 0.5 mm ball pitch on a 12 × 12 grid (144 positions) with 12 balls depopulated at the corners/edges (132 balls bonded). Ball labels use columns 1–14 and rows A–N (skipping I), matching the IceStorm cb132 ball naming in the Pinout tab.

How to use these footprints

To assign one of these footprints to the generated iCE40HX1K schematic symbol (see the Symbol tab), edit project-content/schematics/symbols/iCE40HX1K/iCE40HX1K.kicad_sym and set the Footprint property value to the appropriate stock footprint path (e.g. Package_QFP:TQFP-100_14x14mm_P0.5mm). KiCad will resolve the footprint from its stock libraries automatically.

Gaps

  • No custom Adom-branded .kicad_mod has been authored yet. The stock KiCad footprints are sufficient for most designs, but if you need Adom-specific pad naming or courtyard rules, run the footprint-creator skill to generate and validate one per package.

All iCE40HX1K packages are halogen-free and RoHS-compliant; all parts ship in trays unless noted on the ordering part number.

Applications

  • Mobile and handheld devices where ultra-low standby power is required
  • Sensor aggregation and bridging between host SoCs and peripherals
  • Display glue logic, pixel re-timing and LED matrix drivers
  • Real-time signal manipulation at up to 275 MHz register speeds
  • Low-cost prototyping with open-source toolchains (Yosys + nextpnr + IceStorm)
  • Cost-sensitive production designs that need non-volatile, single-chip FPGA operation via NVCM
