The Lattice partners program is designed to allow customers to easily access and integrate approved third-party IP products using Lattice programmable devices.
"IP support for our new FPGA families continues to grow at an impressive rate.
The combination of the CAST CAN Bus Controller and IEEE 1394 IPs with the optimized LatticeECP and EC architectures is an excellent approach to a variety of high-volume, cost-sensitive applications," said Stan Kopec, Lattice vice president of corporate marketing.
"CAST is uniquely positioned to provide IP supporting these serial bus standards in the latest generation Lattice devices," Kopec concluded.
Hal Barbour, President of CAST Incorporated said, "The new LatticeECP and LatticeEC devices, and associated ispLEVER tools, represent a pronounced enhancement to the previous generation of Lattice FPGAs; we are excited to implement these key IP cores for the Lattice low-cost devices." CAST has ported, optimized and tested two popular IP cores on the new Lattice FPGA devices, the IEEE 1394a (FireWire) Link Layer Controller and the CAN Bus Controller, with competitive implementation results.
Full datasheets for these cores are available on the Lattice Web site: http://www.latticesemi.com/products/devtools/ip/cast/index.cfm These Connection Cores are available in netlist format for immediate purchase from CAST.
CAST also offers a variety of additional packaging and licensing options to suit specific customer needs.
By leveraging partner products, customers can quickly implement a wide variety of functions in Lattice programmable devices.
