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...

Over the past few years, we’ve seen disruptive advancements in AI models – now more than ever with the rise of generative AI tools in the market such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, and other new models being announced daily. AI models including natural language processing, computer vision, and other workloads that will drive further proliferation of AI, but this requires the system infrastructure to keep up as the system control complexity grows in parallel with memo...

As we continue to embrace the fast evolving technology in our daily lives, we must also recognize and mitigate the risks that come with it – particularly when it comes to keeping our information secure. Amidst these technological enhancements and challenges, there are two major trends that stand out: Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and cyber resilience. The rapid growth of the IoT ecosystem, fueled in part by the rise of 5G, has created a complex and highly distributed network of devices ...

From cutting-edge hardware to sophisticated software solutions, we collaborated with our ecosystem partners to showcase demos covering a wide range of applications, including Automotive, Industrial, and Security. ...

There’s a lot of recent buzz around Industry 4.0, a common term used to describe the increasing digitization, automation, and connected computing intelligence that’s emerging in the manufacturing industry. With Industry 4.0, the value and capabilities of cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), secure connectivity, and AI have the potential to come together to bring about smarter, more reliable, and more efficient operations in manufacturing. However, with the rise of Industry...

In today’s highly competitive technology industry, being first to market can mean the difference between success or failure. However, getting to market fast comes with its challenges, particularly when it comes to system and application design. With the increasing proliferation of AI, Edge computing, cybersecurity threats, and automation, now more than ever, designers need the freedom to tweak and fine-tune their design’s throughout its development cycle. The components system archi...

The increasingly autonomous nature of vehicles is a major trending topic in the Automotive industry and, despite the challenges the industry faced during the pandemic, the disruptive technologies behind autonomous features have advanced dramatically in recent years. Earlier this year, McKinsey & Company issued a report on how advanced autonomous features in vehicles brings enormous growth potential not just for consumers or the manufacturers, but also to transform transportation and society ...

The past decade has brought about some incredible innovations to the industrial technology sector. From artificial intelligence and cloud computing to the Internet of Things (IoT) and 3D printing, these advancements are all part of Industry 4.0 – the fourth industrial revolution that focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, and real-time data. Due to this increased interconnectedness, particularly between sectors like technology and manufacturing, Industry 4.0 has also had a mass...

As the low power programmable leader, sustainability is a core guiding principle for product innovation at Lattice. Over the past few years, we’ve proudly partnered with Swissloop to support their Hyperloop research. It has been another year of milestones for the student organization. Read on for an update on the team’s 2022 program and award-winning work from Swissloop leaders, Roger Barton, and Hanno Hiss. The Swissloop team Swissloop is a student organization at ETH Züric...

As we begin 2023, I realized that this year is my 27th Year in semiconductors with a focus on Aerospace and Defense (A&D). One of my proudest accomplishments during this time is the impacts I’ve had on the end states for military forces, which continue to this day in my work at Lattice. Did you know that 72 percent of all A&D platforms (Radar, Electronic Warfare, military communications software defined radio, etc.) use FPGAs and FPGAs represent approximately 35 percent of the U.S....
