Very soon most homes will have Siri, Alexa, Google Home or similar. Many already have all three. The acceptance of such sophisticated AI systems as an everyday, normal addition to the living room says much about the human condition to imagine, conceptualize, innovate, experiment with...

Over recent decades system design has evolved from one processing topology to another, from centralized to distributed architectures and back again in a constant search for the ideal solution.

New Technology Promises to Accelerate Deployment of Machine Learning Inferencing Across Mass Market, Low-power IoT Applications

On the path for faster time-to market and reduced development time and cost, rapid prototyping is required for many electronic designs. To accomplish this task, designers need to reuse existing hardware and software building blocks. The emergence of vision technologies further complicates this path as many design engineers have experience in everything but embedded vision!

There is an old saying that two heads are better than one, and nothing could be truer when it comes to strategic partnerships. In today’s business environment, partnerships are of the greatest value to organizations that are focused on supporting the end-customers.

The complexity of implementing intelligent Edge solutions is causing many issues for designers, including accommodating devices with new and legacy interfaces in a variety of applications. Some of these applications also require compute engines capable of processing data collected at low power and cost.

You may be asking yourself, “What does a nineteenth century architect have to do with FPGAs?” A key decision facing many system architects is which FPGA families to use in their next project. Lattice currently offers four classes of FPGAs: iCE, ECP, Mach and CrossLink. It is often tempting to think of FPGAs as just a blank canvas, ready to be filled with digital logic.

Virtual reality (VR) is more than just captivating displays with fancy 3D graphics. Fluid feedback of users’ gestures, postures, movements and position is pivotal for a complete immersive experience. If the user’s actions cannot be quickly and accurately tracked, it would be impossible to realize the fighting scene...

We recently introduced our next generation FPGA design software: Lattice Radiant software. Embracing our corporate mission of enabling edge connectivity and computing designs, the Radiant software was specifically created for the development of edge applications. It is a full-featured FPGA design tool suite and yet simple to use.

A key benefit of programmable logic devices, such as FPGAs and CPLDs, is their programmability. These devices are typically deployed with a unique design intended to address application-specific problems. And because of these problems, many embedded systems that deploy programmable products benefit greatly from the ability to update their design and configuration after manufacturing. An upgrade feature is useful for multiple end-applications.
