LatticeECP3-35 Extends Low Power, Low Cost Benefits to Video, Security/Surveillance and Communications Applications

On March 18, Lattice announced sample availability of the LatticeECP3-35EA device in the award-winning LatticeECP3 FPGA family. This low-power FPGA is ideal for high-volume, low-power and low-cost designs in video, security/surveillance, industrial and communications applications.

Features

• 33 K LUT4s of logic capacity to implement complex designs
• Up to 4 SERDES channels with data rates from 150 Mbps to 3.2 Gbps supporting a wide range of serial protocols: PCI Express, SONET/SDH, Ethernet (1GbE, SGMII, XAUI), CPRI, SMPTE 3G and Serial RapidIO
• Proven low-cost wirebond packaging
• 1.3 Mbits of embedded memory and 68 Kbits of distributed RAM
• Fully-cascadable DSP architecture with 64 18x18 multipliers and powerful 54-bit ALU operation
• Two DLLs and four PLLs
• Up to 310 I/O; programmable sysIO buffer support for a wide range of interfaces including 800 Mbps DDR3
• 1 Gbps LVDS I/O, with Input Delay blocks, allows interfacing to high-performance ADCs and DACs

Intellectual Property

Lattice also provides Intellectual Property (IP) cores, development boards and software to enable designers to develop time-to-market solutions. A range of IP cores including CPRI, OBSAI, Serial RapidIO, XAUI, SGMII/Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, Tri-Rate SDI PHY for serial connectivity, FIR filters, FFT, Reed-Solomon Encoders, Reed-Solomon Decoders, CORDIC, CIC, NCO for DSP functions, DDR, DDR2, DDR3 for memory interfaces, and several others are available.

Software

The LatticeECP3 FPGA family is supported by the ispLEVER design tool suite, version 8.0 Service Pack 1 which provides a complete set of powerful tools for all design tasks, including project management, IP integration, design planning, power analysis, place and route, on-chip logic analysis and more.
