About Lattice ispLeverCORE IP

Lattice ispLeverCORE IP products are highly integrated, modular design blocks that can be reused and easily placed within a programmable logic design. The ispLeverCORE modules implement popular industry-standard functions, commonly known as intellectual property (IP) cores.

Lattice offers a growing portfolio of ispLeverCORE modules, optimized for use with its device families. The ispLeverCORE modules are designed using the highest coding standards, and are extensively tested to meet required functionality and performance. These cores are ready-to-use, well documented, and are supported by Lattice field and factory application engineers.

About LatticeXP FPGAs

Non-volatile LatticeXP FPGAs deliver the benefits of instant-on operation, excellent security and a single-chip implementation, and provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional SRAM-based FPGAs and their associated boot memories. The ispXP™ technology used in the LatticeXP devices combines SRAM and non-volatile Flash memory to deliver an FPGA that is both non-volatile and infinitely reconfigurable. The SRAM-based memory cells control the operation of the device logic and are loaded from the on-chip Flash memory in less than 1mS at power-up -- providing instant-on capability -- or on user command. Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs, the LatticeXP device does not require an external boot memory and so provides a single-chip solution with the associated benefits of reduced board area and simplified system manufacture. The absence of an external boot device also eliminates the need for an external bit-stream at boot up and the possibility of bitstream snooping, a major security concern with SRAM FPGAs. Security features prohibit bit-stream readback from the SRAM and Flash sections of the devices to further enhance security.
