PCIe-compatible Lattice FPGA Product Lineup

What is Lattice PCIe FPGA? ~ Why Lattice? ~

Lattice FPGAs are characterized by low power consumption, small packages, and flexible design changes, and are used in a wide range of fields, including industrial equipment, communications, automotive, and medical devices.
The following advantages are particularly apparent in applications requiring a PCIe interface:

◎Multi-generation support: Small to medium-scale logic FPGA that supports a wide range of PCIe Gen1 to Gen4
Flexible configuration: Choose from x1, x2, x4, x8, and other bandwidths, as well as small packages, depending on your needs.
◎Comprehensive development environment: IP cores, evaluation boards, and demo designs are available, allowing you to verify operation from the early design stages.
◎Low power consumption design: Ideal for embedded devices and battery-powered devices

Device selection points

Here are some points to consider when selecting a PCIe-compatible FPGA.

Required communication speed and link width
- Select from Gen1 (2.5Gbps) to Gen4 (16Gbps), x1 to x8 according to your system requirements.
Power consumption
- In battery-powered or thermally constrained environments, the 28nm FD-SOI CertusPro-NX and 16nm Avant-G are advantageous.
package size
- If space is limited, CrossLink-NX (9.5 x 9.5 mm) or Certus-NX (6 x 6 mm) are ideal.
Development man-hours
- By utilizing evaluation boards, IP cores, and demo designs, initial verification can be carried out in a short period of time.
