ASIC and FPGA come together to optimise
SPI4.2
The ORSPI4 is a novel a field-programmable SPI4.2 SoC that efficiently integrates ASIC and FPGA technologies.
The ORSPI4 is a novel a field-programmable SPI4.2 SoC that efficiently integrates ASIC and FPGA technologies By combining the two approaches, Lattice has developed a more highly integrated, higher performance, lower cost and lower power SPI4.2 solution when compared to a full FPGA implementation
