Demos

• LatticeECP3 PCI Express Demo: The demo has been designed to demonstrate a x1 PCI Express link between two ports with the Lattice PCI Express Root Complex Lite and PCI Express Endpoint IP cores using two LatticeECP3 I/O Protocol Board.
• LatticeECP3 DDR3 Demo: The demo has been designed to demonstrates the functionality of the Lattice DDR3 IP core at a speed of 400 MHz (800 Mbps) using the LatticeECP3 I/O Protocol Board.
• LatticeECP3 DDR2 Demo: This demo demonstrates the functionality of the Lattice DDR2 SDRAM Controller IP core at a speed of 200 MHz and 400 Mbps using the LatticeECP3 Serial Protocol Board.
• LatticeECP3 XAUI Demo: The demo has been designed to demonstrate the performance of the LatticeECP3 PCS in XAUI mode at 3.125 Gbps
• LatticeECP3 CPRI Demo: The demo has been designed to demonstrate the performance of the LatticeECP3 PCS with the CPRI IP core at 1.228/2.457/3.072 Gbps.
• LatticeECP3 Tri-rate SMPTE SDI Demo: This demo shows the capability of the LatticeECP3™ SERDES with an SD/HD/3G design example. The design is implemented using the LatticeECP3 SMPTE video evaluation board
  
• LatticeECP3 SerDes Eye/Backplane Demo: The LatticeECP3 SERDES Eye/Backplane demo demonstrates the performance of the LatticeECP3 SERDES I/O at 3.125 Gbps
• LatticeECP3 7:1 LVDS Demo: The LatticeECP3 7:1 LVDS demo includes two tests - 1) a simple loopback test that illustrates the use of the 7:1 transmitter and 7:1 receiver and 2) a video processing design that brings video data into the FPGA device through the 7:1 receiver, processes it and transmits it out via the 7:1 transmitter
