The LatticeECP2™ and LatticeECP2M™ families redefine the low-cost FPGA category, with more of the best FPGA features for less. By integrating features and capabilities previously only available on higher cost / high performance FPGAs, these families expand the range of applications that can take advantage of low cost FPGAs. Key Features
LatticeECP2/M Evaluation BoardsLattice has developed four evaluation boards for LatticeECP2/M devices. LatticeECP2 Standard Evaluation Board: This board is an efficient design that will help you quickly evaluate the LatticeECP2 FPGA on a ready-made platform. It features an LFE2-50E-6F484C FPGA Device (ECP2-50 in a 484fpBGA package), 64-bit PCI/PCI-x edge connector and form-factor, RS-232 connector, On-board Flash configuration memory, Various LEDs, switches, connectors, headers, an on-board power supply and prototype area. LatticeECP2 Advanced Evaluation Board: This board features more advanced interfaces for system-level evaluation and development. The board includes a LFE2-50E-6F672C FPGA Device (ECP2-50 in a 672fpBGA package), Dual DDR2 SODIMM memory sockets, 10/100/1G Ethernet PHY with RJ-45 interface, SPI4.2 Tx/Rx connectors (840Mbps), along with many of the features included on the ECP2 Standard Evaluation board. LatticeECP2M PCI Express x4 Evaluation Board: This board provides a plug in card that can be used to evaluate the LatticeECP2M-50 (or LatticeECP2M-35) in PCI Express and generic SERDES applications. It provides a PCI Express X4 connector, configuration memory, power supplies, DDR SRAM, a sockatable oscillator, various LEDs and switch inputs. Demonstration driver software, an evaluation version of the ispLeverCORE PCIexpress IP core and supplied backend logic can be used to quickly evaluation this board in a PC environment. LatticeECP2M SERDES Evaluation Board: This board can be used to evaluate the SERDES I/O of the LatticeECP2M-50 (or LatticeECP2M-35), interface to PCI Express x1, connect to SERDES via SFP or SATA, or for general SERDES applications. It includes SMA connectors to 4 quad-channel SERDES, a sockatable oscillator, various LEDs and switch inputs. LatticeECP2M SMPTE SDI Evaluation Board: This board is part of a complete solution designed to demonstrate the integration of HD-SDI, SDI - SMPTE 259 and 292 - and DVB-ASI encoders and decoders into an FPGA.

 We selected the Lattice ECP2M family because it provided us with the optimal mix of high-speed performance, logic density and distributed memory. Lattice has also provided us great support with design tools and IP that have allowed us to decrease our time to market.
Lou Orsini Director of Engineering Spectracom  The LatticeSC should finally silence the skeptics: this is a very high performance FPGA that will compete aggressively with Virtex and Stratix devices for sockets. With the simultaneous announcement of the low cost LatticeECP2 devices, Lattice now has the breadth and depth of FPGA products to become the third force in the FPGA market.  |
