One of the hottest topics in tech is the concept of Industry 4.0, which essentially refers to digitization, automation, and connected computing intelligence being brought to the world of manufacturing. The idea is to blend the value and capabilities of cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) together in a way that allows for smarter, more reliable, and more efficient operations in manufacturing and other industrial environments. An essential part of the Indust...

It’s no secret that Edge computing continues to experience rapid growth as enterprises seek lower latency, and more secure and private processing than centralized cloud datacenters can provide. Billions of Edge compute devices are being deployed in the market, and they’re only getting more advanced with time. Advancements in machine learning and deep neural networks have helped pave the way for this trend, enabling more intelligence to be processed at faster speeds than ever before....

“Enormous amounts of data are being generated every day by billions of connected sensors, devices, and systems supported by AI algorithms, creating an accelerated need for intelligence at the Edge. This trend requires developers and OEMs to look for more flexible and adaptable solutions.” Pat Moorhead, CEO and Chief Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy Companies today are challenged by a fast-evolving technology landscape, a seemingly insatiable hunger for more connectedness a...

The world has become in many ways more fragile, and a quick look into recent Supply Chain issues highlights this very well. The global growth of interdependencies and complexities of enterprises has introduced fragility into many cyber-systems. Cybersecurity has been top of mind for years across all markets and industries, but we’ve reached an inflection point. Cyberattacks have continued to grow in velocity and veracity as bad actors find new invasive ways to penetrate systems and take ad...

A new space race is officially upon us, one that brings the “Final Frontier” much closer to home than ever before. While we regularly see headlines about shuttle launches, there is another space application that’s much more common today – the growing number of satellites occupying the space sector known as “low Earth orbit,” aka “LEO.” This is where most of the “action” is taking place, making what once seemed remote and inaccessible to...

Security is an increasingly important consideration for design engineers across all technology applications as the frequency and sophistication of cyber and physical attacks increases. In the aerospace and defense industry, robust hardware security is mission critical to field success and for protecting sensitive information. Security is a top priority at Lattice and is part of what makes Lattice the FPGA industry leader. Today our security offerings span hardware, software, solution stacks, and...

Traditionally, FPGA design was simple. Designers set a basic clock constraint that was propagated across the chip. But now, FPGA designs have become much more complex. There are multiple clocks, and relationships between those clocks. There may be clock domain crossings that need to be accounted for. So, FPGA design tools today must feature much greater analysis capabilities to show the designer, for example, where those clock domain crossings are, to be able to constrain for multiple clocks, an...

The Lattice Propel design environment lets hardware and software developers quickly and easily develop Lattice FPGA-based applications in minutes.

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.

In our continuous quest to provide our users with the best design tools possible, we are very excited to announce the latest release of the Lattice Diamond software. The Diamond 3.10 software continues to focus on low power consumption with various power-aware design methods, supports a broader range of automotive products, and offers increased productivity and better user experience via the improved logic analyzer tool.
