Low-cost FPGAs hit production on schedule
The first members of the LatticeECP-DSP and LatticeEC FPGA device families are now available in production quantities.
The LatticeEC (economy) FPGA product family, targeted for general-purpose FPGA applications, is a precise and targeted response to the market's explosive demand for low-cost, architecturally streamlined logic solutions.
Through advanced 130nm silicon technology, an optimised architecture and proprietary circuit design, the new Lattice devices lower total solution costs by up to 30 to 50% compared with existing FPGA solutions, and are expected to broaden the adoption of FPGAs within the $20 billion ASIC marketplace.
"These new devices represent the first wave of a new generation of FPGAs from Lattice focused on specific, high-growth FPGA market segments", said Cyrus Tsui, Lattice Chairman and CEO.
