LPC (Low Pin Count) Bus Controller

Reference Design LogoThe Lattice LPC Bus Controller Reference Design implements a LPC host and a LPC peripheral that support the seven required LPC control signals. The design is implemented in Verilog or VHDL and Lattice design tools are used for synthesis, place and route, and simulation. The design can be targeted to multiple Lattice device families, and its small size makes it portable across different FPGA/CPLD architectures. This reference design is based on the Intel Low Pin Count Interface Specification (version 1.1).
