New machine learning and sensor-to-cloud security solutions for intelligence at the Edge

Lattice Semiconductor has announced the availability of new reference designs based on its iCE40 UltraPlus FPGA devices to address emerging market requirements and to enable an expedited product development cycle. Expanding one of the industry’s most energy-efficient and programmable mobile influenced solutions, the company’s new reference designs for the iCE40 UltraPlus support LoRa communication, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) security, signal aggregation, machine learning and graphics acceleration. With these new reference designs, customers are equipped with additional resources to accelerate the development of differentiated and innovative products. The design is a highly energy-efficient computing solution for sensor stitching and repetitive number crunching, making it ideal for offloading power hungry application processors in battery-powered devices. Their small form factor, low cost and low power FPGAs offer enhanced memory and more DSPs to improve system performance and extend battery life. Built upon existing IP and paired with the new reference designs, the design anchors a complete solution for enabling sensor-to-Cloud security and acceleration at the Edge. It is essential for performing functions such as data capturing, aggregation, encryption, processing and transmission.
