Lattice mVision Solution Stack

Accelerate Implementation of Low Power Embedded Vision Applications

The Lattice mVision solutions stack includes everything embedded vision system designers need to evaluate, develop, and deploy FPGA-based embedded vision applications, such as machine vision, robotics, ADAS, video surveillance, and drones.

The Lattice mVision solutions stack uses modular hardware platforms, IP building blocks, easy to use FPGA design tools, reference designs and demonstrations, as well as a network of custom design services and solves design challenges as sensor connectivity, bridging, aggregation, and image signal processing.

The Lattice mVision solutions stack is optimized for low power consumption ranging from under 150 mW to 1 W and small package size (2.5 x 2.5 mm to 10 x 10 mm). The solutions stack provides customizable performance and flexible interface connectivity (MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, PCIe, GigE, etc.).
