Lattice Introduces New PLD Devices with Low-Power MachXO3 Controlled

New Device and Feature-Rich Evaluation Boards Help Engineers Speed Development of Control Applications for Server, Communication and Industrial Markets.

The new MachXO3-9400 devices combine the benefits of both on-chip memory and flexible programmable I / O in the MachXO3 product family, further enhancing support for complex applications that require more logic and embedded memory

Delivers up to 60% less power with the latest package and offers additional resources for motor control and board management applications

New Evaluation Board Provides is more flexibility and helps Design Engineers Design PLD-Based MachXO3-Based Controls for Various System Architectures

Leading supplier to the custom smart interconnect solutions market at Lattice Semiconductor ,today announced the addition of the popular MachXO3 ™ Controlled PLD Family to meet the changing design needs of the communications and industrial markets. The new MachXO3-9400 offer low-power 1.2 V core package options for thermally demanding environments, more FPGA logic resources for motor control and board management functions, and more I / O for server and storage applications / O. To help design and develop customers using MachXO3 devices, Lattice also offers a high performance, flexible evaluation board that supports a wide range of system architectures including board management, embedded microcontroller I / O expansion, and video Protocol bridging function.

Joel Coplen, Product Marketing Manager at Lattice Semiconductor, said: "The introduction of the MachXO3-9400 low-power device helps customers implement more intelligent functions for power-sensitive edge applications in the network. Now we can use our MachXO3-9400 The EV kit develops a variety of solutions, including hardware management and I / O expansion, or adds logic to embedded microcontrollers. "

The new device features introduced by Lattice include:

Optional MachXO3-9400E (1.2 V Core Voltage) Device Delivers 60% Reduced Power over MachXO3-9400C (3.3 V Core Voltage)

Supports pin migration from MachXO3-6900 to provide additional FPGA logic resources for factory automation and server board management applications

Up to 384 I / Os - Highest number of I / O available in the MachXO3 product family

Comparable Benefits of the MachXO3 Family, including Internal Configuration Memory, Flexible Programmable I / O, and Embedded Memory

The MachXO3-9400 evaluation board features the MachXO3-9400 control PLD and the Lattice Hardware Management Expander L-ASC10. The evaluation board also includes connectors for the Raspberry Pi 3, Arduino Zero, and other expansion boards. It is the ideal choice for design engineers to quickly and affordably build I / O expansion, co-processing, motor control and video bridging capabilities for the latest computing and industrial applications.
