Lattice Semiconductor Corporation has redefined the low cost, low power mid-range FPGA market with its announcement of the next generation LatticeECP4 FPGA family, with 6 Gbps SERDES in low cost wire-bond packages, powerful DSP Blocks and hard IP-based Communication Engines for cost- and power-sensitive wireless, wireline, video, and computing markets.
Wireless contact lens display closer to becoming a sci-fi reality
Hands-free information could stream across your contact lens, in a device that came one step closer to reality this week. In a new paper, University of Washington researchers demonstrated the safety of a prototype device tested in the eye of a rabbit. At the moment, the contact lens device contains only a single pixel of information, but the researchers say it is a proof of the concept that the device could be worn by a person. Eventually it coul...
