Lattice FPGA Brings High-Performance MIPI Bridging to Ambarella's CVflow Architecture for Automotive and Machine Vision Applications
HILLSBORO, OR – August 5, 2020 – Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today announced that Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) selected the Lattice ECP5™ FPGA will enable MIPI bridging capabilities in systems using Ambarella CVflow® SoCs. CVflow-based products are used in a wide variety of embedded and smart vision applications, including video security, advanced driver assistance (ADAS), electronic mirror, drive recorder, driver/cabin monitoring, autonomous driving, and robotics. Ambarella chose the Lattice FPGA based on its highly efficient routing architecture, low power consumption, and small form factor.
According to the MIPI Alliance, car manufacturers are interested in using MIPI components because they are “mature, relatively simple to use, and help reduce the number of wires needed to connect components. MIPI specifications are also well-proven, which reduces risk.”1 However, many automotive and industrial systems require support for legacy interface standards incompatible with MIPI. The Lattice FPGA provides the low power co-processing necessary to convert sub-LVDS and other interface standards supported by legacy components. This allows Ambarella CVflow customers to leverage the latest MIPI devices in their new and existing product designs while maintaining compatibility with other system components.
