To support customers who are designing with MachXO3, Lattice is releasing a powerful, flexible evaluation board to support a variety of system architectures, including board management, embedded microcontroller I/O expansion and video protocol bridging functions.
“The release of additional low power options of our MachXO3-9400 devices will enable customers to bring additional intelligence to power-conscious applications at the edge,” said Joel Coplen, Product Marketing Manager at Lattice Semiconductor. “Customers can begin developing a variety of solutions using our MachXO3-9400 evaluation board, including hardware management and expanding I/O or adding logic functions to embedded microcontrollers.”
Lattice’s new device options offer:
- MachXO3-9400E (1.2V core voltage) options with 60% reduced power consumption over MachXO3-9400C (3.3V core voltage) variants
- Pin migration options from MachXO3-6900, expanding FPGA logic resources for factory automation and server board management
- Up to 384 I/O – the highest I/O count yet in the MachXO3 family
- Features key benefits of the MachXO3 family, such as internal configuration memory, flexible programmable I/Os and embedded memory
The MachXO3-9400 evaluation board features the MachXO3-9400 control PLD and the Lattice Hardware Management Expander, the L-ASC10. The board also includes connectors for Raspberry Pi 3, Arduino Zero, and additional expansion boards. The board is suitable for designers who are looking to quickly and efficiently implement I/O expansion, co-processing, motor control and video bridging into their latest computing and industrial applications.
