Lattice Semiconductor is aiming at system control with a family of FPGAs that includes PCIe Gen 2 interfacing and embedded security. MachXO5T-NX, as they are called, are suited to “a set of control function designs for enterprise networking, machine vision and industrial IoT”, it said. They are built using the company’s FDSoI process (image right), which can dramatically reduce soft ...

Lattice adds auto FPGAs
Lattice has expanded its Crosslink-NX family with FPGAs specified for automotive applications such as ADAS and IVIsystems. The new CrossLink-NX FPGAs bring best-in-class low power, small form factor, high-performance I/O, and reliability to embedded vision applications for automobiles. Lattice CrossLink-NX FPGAs support embedded MIPI D-PHY interfaces with speeds up to 10 Gbps. Key features of CrossLink-NX FPGAs for automotive ...
Lattice updates embedded vision and security tools for programmable logic
Lattice has updated its mVision embedded vision and Sentry security tool suits. mVision 2.0 has expanded support for automotive, industrial and medical embedded vision, with new development boards supporting popular image sensors for industrial and medical applications including Sony’s IMX464 and IMX568, and the AR0344CS from ON Semiconductor. Support for Lattice Propel Design Environment has also been added, aiming at ...
Lattice adds to auto and rugged FPGAs
Lattice has added to its MachXO3L and MachXO3D that support extended temperature operating ranges for automotive and other ruggedised applications. MachXO3D FPGAs augment the popular system control capabilities of the Lattice MachXO FPGA architecture with industry-leading security features, including hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT), platform firmware resilience (PFR), and secure dual-boot support. The MachXO3D and MachXO3LF devices target control, bridging, and I/O ...
Lattice puts fast I/O on low-power FPGA for IoT edge
Lattice Semiconductor has released the second family of devices developed from its Nexus 28nm FDSoI platform, equipping them with fast PCI Express (PCIe) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for co-processing, signal bridging, and system control. Certus-NX FPGAs, as they will be known, are intended to be general purpose, aimed at applications from data processing in automated industrial equipment to system management ...
Embedded World: Video Interview – Lattice mVision looks to simplify design of embedded vision
At Embedded World 2020, we caught up with Dirk Seidel of Lattice Semiconductor, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. He discusses the new Lattice mVision solutions stack and simplifying the design of embedded vision systems, such as for machine vision, robotics, ADAS, drones and AR/VR for the industrial, automotive, and smart home markets. Thank you to Dirk ...
Lattice picks FD-SOI and redesigns FPGAs for embedded vision and edge AI
Lattice has switched to 28nm FD-SOI (fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator) technology for a range of sram-based FPGAs intended for embedded vision and artificial intelligence processing in industrial, automotive and consumer systems. Although they are ram-based, and therefore need to boot from adjacent memory, the firm has found a way to get chip outputs enabled, set and stable within 3ms of power-up – allowing ...
Lattice adds support and reference designs to Sensai stack
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation has announced the availability of performance enhancements and application reference designs for its Sensai (stylised sensAI) stack. Sensai is designed to help OEMs develop AI and ML experiences for smart devices with power consumption measured in mW. Performance enhancements include support for more compact neural network models and deeper quantization support to accommodate larger models for processing ...
Lattice launches small, low-power FPGAs for multi-sensor vision systems
Lattice introduces the CrossLinkPlus FPGA family for MIPI D-PHY based embedded vision systems.
Optimising AI algorithms can save 10x power
Re-thinking neural network algorithms can deliver 10 times more performance from the same hardware, according to Lattice Semiconductor, which has overhauled its ‘sensAI‘ artificial intelligence-based vision processing intellectual property. SensAI is aimed at edge AI – always-on local pre-processing of images to decide whether more powerful remote processing resources need get involved – reducing the need for network bandwidth and ...
