The continued AI and machine learning evolution is reshaping lifestyles and workplaces, now more than ever with the emergence of foundation models and generative artificial intelligence (AI). To keep up with the significant rise in computational throughput this still-evolving digital transformation is causing, the demand for hardware efficiency is increasing. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an ideal silicon solution to help developers to navigate this shift and design reprogrammable e...

As FPGA devices have expanded in both their density and complexity, design teams are choosing to migrate design principles previously handled by other types of semiconductors – like ASICs and MCUs – to these more sophisticated FPGAs. However, as is often the case, increased complexity can bring to light new challenges, and designers rely on software tools to efficiently implement designs that maximize the advanced capabilities of the FPGA devices. Lattice Radiant® software offer...

Designing and implementing a complex solution on an FPGA can be tricky. The learning curve for first-time FPGA users can be steep and advancing deeper into FPGA design techniques require time and effort. At Lattice Semiconductor, we want to make your journey of learning and designing with FPGAs a seamless and gratifying experience. Lattice Insights, the official training academy for Lattice Semiconductor, is created to enable that experience - to empower FPGA developers to fully utilize Lattice...
