Optimised connectivity solutions for communications and industrial markets

Lattice Semiconductor has announced the availability of new ECP5-5G-based IP and solutions, part of the company’s ECP5 family of low power, small form factor connectivity FPGAs for industrial and communications applications. This product family enables seamless connectivity to ASICs and ASSPs in a wide array of applications including small cells, low-end routers, backhaul, low-power radios, cameras, machine vision and gaming platforms. The company’s ECP5-5G family has been optimised to provide the lowest cost, power consumption, and form factor solution for 5G SERDES applications. These devices support multiple 5G SERDES protocols including PCI Express 2.0, CPRI and the JESD204B serial interface. The devices are complemented with a portfolio of new development kits, soft IP, demos, and updated design software. “With 5G SERDES connectivity, Lattice’s new ECP5-5G family is an ideal solution to address applications where quick time to market, small form factor and cost-effectiveness are critical,” said Deepak Boppana, director of product marketing at Lattice Semiconductor. “In addition, by offering promotional pricing on the development kits, IP suite, and design software, we’re giving our customers increased access – at an affordable price point – to the technology they rely on for the development of a wide array of industrial and communications solutions.”
