Overview

IPexpress User Configurable Logo The Lattice Open Base Station Architecture Initiative Reference Point 3 Specification (OBSAI RP3) IP core together with SERDES and Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) functionality integrated in the LatticeSC and LatticeECP2M series FPGAs implements the physical and data link layers of the OBSAI RP3 specification and can be used in applications connecting wireless baseband and RF modules.  Control and status parameters specifying core functionality are managed via bit-mapped I/O that may be hard-wired or interfaced to programmable registers, providing users with optimal flexibility in defining static and/or dynamic management of the various functional parameters needed for their particular applications.
