Intellectutal Property Support For New FPGA Familes Announced By Lattice Semiconductor And CAST Incorporated
IP Cores Implement CAN Bus and IEEE 1394 Protocols Commonly Found In High-Volume Systems
September 2, 2004 HILLSBORO, OR / WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ — Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) and its IP partner, CAST Incorporated, today announced intellectual property (IP) support for the new LatticeECP-DSP™ (“EConomy Plus DSP”) and LatticeEC™ (“EConomy”) FPGA device families. Through the Lattice ispLeverCORE™ Connection partner program, CAST will provide a range of complete system solutions for their customers who are integrating system-level IP with the most advanced silicon architectures from Lattice. The Lattice partners program is designed to allow customers to easily access and integrate approved third-party IP products using Lattice programmable devices.
“IP support for our new FPGA families continues to grow at an impressive rate. The combination of the CAST CAN Bus Controller and IEEE 1394 IPs with the optimized LatticeECP™ and EC architectures is an excellent approach to a variety of high-volume, cost-sensitive applications,” said Stan Kopec, Lattice vice president of corporate marketing. “CAST is uniquely positioned to provide IP supporting these serial bus standards in the latest generation Lattice devices,” Kopec concluded.
Hal Barbour, President of CAST Incorporated said, “The new LatticeECP and LatticeEC devices, and associated ispLEVER® tools, represent a pronounced enhancement to the previous generation of Lattice FPGAs; we are excited to implement these key IP cores for the Lattice low-cost devices.”
LatticeECP and LatticeEC Cores from CAST
CAST has ported, optimized and tested two popular IP cores on the new Lattice FPGA devices, the IEEE 1394a (FireWire) Link Layer Controller and the CAN Bus Controller, with competitive implementation results:
CAST IP Available for LatticeECP & LatticeEC
CAST Product | LUTs | Speed |
CAN: CAN Bus Controller | 1619 | >40Mhz |
C1394A: IEEE1394a Link Layer Controller | 6371 | >400Mbps |
Full datasheets for these cores are available on the Lattice Web site: www.latticesemi.com/products/devtools/ip/cast/index.cfm >
These Connection Cores are available in netlist format for immediate purchase from CAST. CAST also offers a variety of additional packaging and licensing options to suit specific customer needs. By leveraging partner products, customers can quickly implement a wide variety of functions in Lattice programmable devices.
About the LatticeECP-DSP and LatticeEC FPGA Families
Announced June 28, 2004, the LatticeECP-DSP and LatticeEC FPGA device families are architected to provide the most optimized feature sets combined with the lowest total solution costs of any FPGAs. The new LatticeECP-DSP products, targeted for high-performance DSP applications, provide up to a 50% performance and 75% logic utilization improvement over other low-cost solutions when implementing common DSP functions. The LatticeEC 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 optimized 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.
