Lattice Semiconductor has announced the immediate availability of the industry's only full rate SPI-4.2 solution based on a low cost FPGA fabric This solution, consisting of a LatticeECP2 FPGA plus a Lattice-developed soft intellectual property (IP) core, is fully compliant with the Optical Internetworking Forum's (OIF) System Packet Interface Level 4 (SPI-4) Phase 2 Standard, a popular parallel interface found in telecomms/datacomms applications at 10Gbit/s rates and below

The ability to operate at the full 10Gbit/s line rate is made possible by Lattice's unique sysI/O interface structure, which contains pre-engineered elements designed to support the implementation of very fast, source synchronous interfaces such as DDR2 and SPI-4.2.
