Lattice IP Suites

Overview

Lattice has introduced a new concept in IP solutions: IP Suites. These bundles of IP Cores provide many of the functions required to develop a total solution for some of today's hottest applications.

In addition, multiple Lattice FPGA families are supported with each IP suite, so you can develop solutions across multiple Lattice families, taking advantage of the best features of each. The following table summarizes which IP cores are included in each IP suite, and which FPGA families are supported:

How it works

It’s easy to get started using Lattice IP suites. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Contact your Lattice sales representative to order the suite you want
2. Sign the Lattice IP usage/license agreement (you can get this from your Lattice sales representative)
3. When your order is processed, just request an updated ispLEVER license, and you’re licensed to use the IP for 1 year – with no limits on the number of target designs, IP reconfigurations or FPGA technologies used. When the 1-year period is over, you can extend your IP Suite license at a discounted rate.

Since Lattice IP cores are configured with the IPexpress tool, included with the ispLEVER software, a licensed copy of the ispLEVER is required to use the IP suites. Each IP Suite is a node-locked license type.

Try before you buy

Using the Lattice IPexpress tool you can create custom configurations of IP cores, fully integrate them into your design, and even test them in hardware before you buy anything. These trial configurations will only run for a limited time in hardware however (usually 30 minutes), after which time you’ll have to re-program the silicon device.

If you like what you see, just purchase the IP core license to remove the time-limited restriction and you’re done.
