Third generation nonvolatile FPGA family doubles maximum logic capacity, improves performance and adds dedicated DSP blocks.

Lattice Semiconductor has released its third generation of nonvolatile FPGAs, the LatticeXP2 family With enhanced capabilities, the LatticeXP2 family doubles maximum logic capacity to 40K look-up tables (LUTs), improves performance 25% and adds dedicated DSP blocks, all while reducing the price per function by up to 50%

Power consumption has also been optimised on the 1.2V process technology, reducing static power usage by 33%.

Designed using the industry's most advanced nonvolatile FPGA technology, a 90nm embedded Flash process codeveloped with Lattice's foundry partner Fujitsu, the LatticeXP2 devices provide the "instant-on" and reduced footprint benefits of earlier Lattice nonvolatile devices, while also enhancing design security, RAM backup and live update capabilities.

This latest product announcement comes over two years after the introduction of the previous generation 130nm LatticeXP family and demonstrates Lattice's ongoing commitment to leadership in the nonvolatile FPGA segment.

With over 20 years of experience in the nonvolatile programmable logic arena, Lattice's market experience has demonstrated repeatedly that as the premium charged for a nonvolatile solution is reduced at each new process node, significantly more users will take advantage of
