Lattice cuts power of its FPGAs by 30%

Lattice Semiconductor has introduced lower power and faster versions of its ECP3 FPGA devices.

The company has also announced its smallest FPGA with high-speed 3.2 G SERDES and 800Mbit/s DDR3  memory interface.

The 10mm x10mm device with 17K LUTs and 116 user input/output is 66% smaller than the current ECP3 FPGA of the same logic density.

The new lower power ECP3 FPGAs consume on the average 30% lower power compared to the standard devices and the High Speed FPGAs run 10% faster.

"The new low power, high speed, and small form-factor devices expand the range and depth of our LatticeECP3 FPGA family for a variety of professional consumer and communication applications”, said Shakeel Peera, director of Silicon/Solutions Marketing at Lattice Semiconductor.

The low power devices consume 40% lower static power compared to the standard ECP3 devices. There are versions for each member of the ECP3 family, including the existing speed grades (-6L, -7L, -8L) and for both commercial and industrial temperature grades.

The ECP3 Mini FPGAs are available in all three speed grades (-6, -7, -8), two power grades (Standard and Low-Power) and both commercial and industrial temperature grades.
