Ever-Expanding Portfolio of IPexpress User Configurable IP Cores

IPexpress™ User Configurable IP cores provide optimum flexibility, allowing designers to configure an IP core, generate the netlist, and evaluate in hardware, all before purchase.

In February, Lattice released its first IPexpress User Configurable IP core, the Tri-Speed Ethernet Media Access Controller for LatticeECP™, LatticeEC™ and LatticeXP™ devices. The IPexpress User Configurable flow has changed our customers' design experience with Lattice IP cores. This flow provides flexibility to designers by allowing them to configure their IP and generate netlists and simulations files. Designers can go one step further, for a fixed period of time, and evaluate their core in hardware before purchase.

Since the first IPexpress User Configurable IP core release in February, the number of IP cores available has increased exponentially. The following table outlines the availability today:
