LatticeMico32 Architecture

The LatticeMico32™ is a highly configurable 32-bit Harvard architecture “soft” microprocessor core for Lattice FPGA devices. By combining a 32-bit wide instruction set with 32 general purpose registers, the LatticeMico32 provides the performance and flexibility suitable for a wide variety of markets. Using a RISC architecture, the core consumes minimal device resources, while maintaining the performance required for a broad application set.  To accelerate the development of microprocessor systems, several optional WISHBONE compatible peripheral components may be integrated with the LatticeMico32.
