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...

5G is the fastest-growing mobile technology of all time and due to its rapid growth, we’re experiencing a major paradigm shift in in the way telecom networks are designed and implemented for addressing use cases such as robotics, connected cars, smart factories and cities, and Metaverse experiences. Lattice hosted its quarterly security seminar with ADI and NXP to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and latest hardware security solutions for the global telecommunications industry, as th...

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...

Over the past few years, we’ve continued to see disruptive advancements like AI models including natural language processing, computer vision, and other workloads come to market. As these technological innovations grow, both in popularity and computational throughput, the demands and importance of advanced, complex system design and system control architecture will only increase further. In our latest LinkedIn Live panel discussion, the Lattice team sat down with Bob O’Donnell, Pre...

Over the last few years, we’ve seen dramatic evolutions of large cellular networks on several different fronts. Most notably, of course, has been the transition to 5G, a faster, more responsive and more powerful network architecture. 5G has enabled faster download speeds, opened up new applications like Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) mobile broadband, and is poised to bring important new innovations like network slicing to companies around the world. Another big move that coincided with the l...

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 ...
