Lattice Semiconductor ECP3™ is the best-in-class mid-range FPGA with high-performance SERDES, full-featured DSP blocks, and support for state-of-the-art memory interfaces including DDR3. It offers 35 to 100% more silicon resources in smaller packages compared to competitors. Low-power LatticeECP3 FPGAs are used in a wide-range of applications, such as wireless and wireline communication, video processing, security and surveillance, industrial networking, industrial automation, computing, storage, medical equipment, and consumer products.
LatticeECP3 offers up to 150K LUTs of logic capacity and 7 Mbits of memory for system integration, cascadable high performance DSP blocks for signal processing, high-speed memory interfaces including DDR3 at 800 Mbps, and up to 1 Gbps LVDS performance for ADC/DAC and SPI4.2 interfaces. LatticeECP3 further enables the designer to build high-speed systems with proven 3.2 Gbps low-power SERDES qualified for a number of protocols – PCI Express 1.1, Ethernet (GbE, SGMII & XAUI), SMPTE SDI (3G/HD/SD), Serial RapidIO 2.1, low-latency CPRI, and JESD204A.
To accelerate design of LatticeECP3 powered systems, Lattice also offers a number of generic and application-specific development kits, an expanding portfolio of free readymade reference designs, and a set of economical IP suites.
