LatticeECP3 is the top-performing mid-range FPGA in its class, featuring high-performance SERDES, fully functional DSP blocks, and support for cutting-edge memory interfaces like DDR3. Compared to rivals, it provides 35% to 100% more silicon resources in smaller packages. Applications for low-power LatticeECP3 FPGAs include consumer electronics, computers, storage, medical equipment, video processing, security and surveillance, industrial networking, and industrial automation. For system integration, LatticeECP3 FPGAs provide up to 7 Mbits of memory and 150K LUTs of logic capacity. They also provide cascadable high-performance DSP blocks for signal processing, DDR3 at 800 Mbps high-speed memory interfaces, and up to 1 Gbps LVDS performance for ADC/DAC and SPI4.2 interfaces. With proven 3.2 Gbps low-power SERDES qualified for a number of protocols, including PCI Express 1.1, Ethernet (GbE, SGMII & XAUI), SMPTE SDI (3G/HD/SD), Serial RapidIO 2.1, low-latency CPRI, and JESD204A, LatticeECP3 also makes it possible to design high-speed systems.Lattice also provides a variety of general and application-specific development kits, an ever-expanding selection of free premade reference designs, and a number of affordable IP suites to speed up the design of LatticeECP3 powered systems.
