The LatticeEC Standard and LatticeEC Advanced are two new evaluation platforms for the LatticeEC low-cost FPGAs. These evaluation platforms will provide you with options for the cost-effective easy implementation of system-level logic and memory functions, including support for popular standards such as PCI, DDR, FCRAM, and SPI4.2. Each platform provides a general-purpose PCB layout built around a LatticeEC FPGA, including a prototyping area, power regulation, and standard interface connectors.

The LatticeEC Standard Evaluation Platform is a low-cost, flexible PCB designed to allow you to quickly evaluate the performance of LatticeEC FPGAs or to aid in the development of custom logic and memory designs. The board is designed for basic design evaluation. It’s available with either the LatticeEC LFEC6E-4F484C (6,000 LUTs) or the LFEC20E-4F484C device (20,000 LUTs), an SPI Flash memory for configuration, SMA pads for high-speed signals/clocks, a prototyping area, on-board power control, and LEDs for visual feedback.

The LatticeEC Advanced Evaluation Platform is designed for more comprehensive and detailed evaluation or system development. This platform includes a LatticeEC LFEC20E-5F672C device, a DDR memory interface, SPI4.2 connectors, a PCI interface and on-board FCRAM. SPI Flash memory is included for configuration, as well as SMA connections for external clocking, a prototyping area and on-board power control. The Advanced Evaluation Platform is shipped complete with Lattice’s ispDOWNLOAD cable to support device configuration and a US-/EU-compliant power supply adapter.

The LatticeEC20 Standard and Advanced Evaluation Platforms are available now. List prices begin at $149.
