Lattice FPSC

Posted by Ken Cheung in FPGA on Sunday, August 6, 2006

Lattice Semiconductor pioneered the approach of putting ASIC embedded cores and FPGA gates on the same silicon die. They call this a Field Programmable System Chip (FPSC). In contrast to ASICs with embedded FPGA gates, FPSCs have a broad range of uses. The embedded cores hold industry-standard Intellectual Property - bus interface, high-speed line interface, and high-speed transceiver cores. When these embedded cores are combined with hundreds of thousands of programmable gates they can be used in a variety of advanced system designs. Here are their FPSCs:

  • ORSPI4
    Embedded Core Function: OIF-SPI4-02.0 compliant 10 Gbits/s interfaces; backplane transceivers containing four channels, each operating up to 3.7 Gbits/s; high-speed memory controller.
  • ORLI10G
    Embedded Core Function: OIF standard (OIF 99.102.5) compliant XSBI 10 Gbits/s transmit and 10 Gbits/s receive line interface.
  • ORT82G5/42G5
    Embedded Core Function: Backplane transceivers containing eight (ORT82G5) or four (ORT42G5) channels, each operating at up to 3.7 Gbits/s, with a full-duplex synchronous interface with built-in Clock and Data Recovery (CDR).
  • ORT8850H/L
    Embedded Core Function: Backplane transceivers containing eight channels, each operating at up to 850 Mbits/s (6.8 Gbits/s when all eight channels are used) full duplex synchronous interface with built-in Clock and Data Recovery (CDR).
  • ORSO82G5/42G5
    Embedded Core Function: SONET backplane transceivers containing eight (ORSO82G5) or four (ORSO42G5) channels, each operating at up to 2.7 Gbits/s, with a full-duplex synchronous interface with built-in Clock and Data Recovery (CDR).
