December 2009On November 16, Lattice announced that the LatticeECP3-150 FPGA, the highest-density device in its award-winning high-value, low-power LatticeECP3 mid-range FPGA family, was fully qualified and released to volume production.
Features:
With these advanced features, the LatticeECP3-150 FPGA is ideally suited for highly complex and integrated wireless Remote Radio Heads (RRH) such as MIMO-based RF antenna solutions. It also provides Wireline Access developers with unprecedented high-density, low-cost, low-power Ethernet, SONET and PCI Express solutions, with the lowest cost points and power footprints in the FPGA industry.
