LatticeECP3 FPGA Family Wins Prestigious e-Legacy Awards Competition

The LatticeECP3 FPGA family has won the highly regarded e-Legacy Awards competition sponsored by Electronic Product Design magazine. Lattice was honored in the coveted Environmental Design category, and was the only programmable logic company to be named a finalist in any of the competition’s award categories. 

“While power saving is a key driver for electronics designers, the judges were impressed that the LatticeECP3 FPGA could also deliver upfront cost-savings,” said Tim Fryer, managing editor of Electronic Product Design magazine.

The Environmental Design award recognizes an electronic design that is environmentally sensitive due to its energy saving and power efficiency.  Finalists were chosen by a panel of industry experts, and the winners were selected by the readers of Electronic Product Design magazine.

“We are honored to receive this award for our ECP3 FPGA family,” said Sean Riley, Lattice Corporate Vice President and General Manager of High Density Solutions.  “It seems almost daily that new and conflicting claims are made for low power FPGAs, and so it is very gratifying that our ECP3 FPGA family has been recognized for its low power by independent judges and voters. Power definitely does matter, and our ECP3 FPGA family was designed from the bottom up to be the lowest power SERDES-capable device in the industry, without sacrificing the benefits of high speed serial I/O and processing capabilities.”

The LatticeECP3 FPGA family is ideally suited for deployment in high volume cost- and power-sensitive wireless infrastructure and wireline access equipment, as well as video and imaging, applications.  For more information about the LatticeECP3 FPGA family, visit the Lattice web site.
