CrossLinkPlus family combines FPGA flexibility
with instant-on panel display performance, accelerating designs in
industrial, automotive, computing, and consumer applications
Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable
leader, today introduced the CrossLinkPlus™ FPGA family for MIPI
D-PHY based embedded vision systems. CrossLinkPlus devices are
innovative, low power FPGAs featuring integrated flash memory, a
hardened MIPI D-PHY and high-speed I/Os for instant-on panel
display performance, and flexible on-device programming
capabilities. Additionally, Lattice provides ready-to-use IPs and
reference designs to accelerate implementation of enhanced sensor
and display bridging, aggregation, and splitting functionality, a
common requirement for industrial, automotive, computing, and
consumer applications.
Developers want to enhance the user experience by adding
multiple image sensors and/or displays to embedded vision systems,
while also meeting system cost and power budgets. Lattice addresses
this need with CrossLinkPlus FPGAs: small (3.5 x 3.5 mm), low power
(< 300 µW) devices specifically optimized for embedded vision
applications with features like a hardened MIPI D-PHY, broad
high-speed I/O support for interfaces like OpenLDI and RGB, and
on-chip non-volatile flash memory. CrossLinkPlus utilizes its
on-chip flash to support instant-on (minimizing visual artifacts
that detract from the user experience) and flexible device
reprogramming in the field.
“The use of MIPI D-PHY in applications ranging from industrial
control equipment displays to AI security cameras is booming as
OEMs look to capitalize on the economies of scale driven by the
MIPI ecosystem,” said Peiju Chiang, Product Marketing Manager,
Lattice Semiconductor. “Lattice’s new CrossLinkPlus FPGAs combine
the flexible programmability and speedy parallel processing of
FPGAs with vision-specific hardware, software, pre-verified IPs and
reference designs. This lets OEMs devote more time to building
innovative applications and less time enabling standard functions
that don’t offer any competitive differentiation.”
Key features of the CrossLinkPlus family of FPGAs include:
- On-device reprogrammable flash memory to enable instant-on
(< 10 ms)
- Hardened, pre-verified MIPI D-PHY interface supporting speeds
up to 6 Gbps per port
- Broad support for high-speed I/O interfaces such as LVDS, SLVS
and subLVDS
- Comprehensive IP library, including MIPI CSI-2, MIPI DSI,
OpenLDI transmitters and receivers. These IPs are compatible with
other Lattice FPGAs for easy design portability.
- Fully compatible with the Lattice Diamond® design software tool
flow, from synthesis and design capture through implementation,
verification, and programming
- Power consumption as low as 300 µW (standby) or 5 mW
(operating)
Originally scheduled to begin sampling in Q4 2019, Lattice has
already provided samples of its CrossLinkPlus FPGAs to customers
for use in industrial and automotive applications. For more
