Lattice Semiconductor has announced the completion of the production release of its second-generation SuperFAST BFW (Big-Fast-Wide) family, the ispLSI 2000VE family.
Analogue front end is dynamically reconfigurable
Lattice Semiconductor has added a new member to its ispPAC programmable analogue device family.
The initial result of this partnership is the availability of a high-performance, low-power CE-ATA (Consumer Electronics Advanced Technology Attachment) host and device IP core for the nonvolatile, instant-on LatticeXP FPGA family.
Using Lattice's ispLever software design tool suite, IntelliProp has ported its CE-ATA host and device cores to the LatticeXP devices.
IntelliProp also has verified functionality of the cores on the LatticeXP family using its own CE-ATA/eVC (e Verification Component) test suites, as well as running the cores through interoperability testing.

IntelliProp's test suites support host or target configurations, provide extensive functional coverage and protocol checks and include the most popular storage protocols used in consumer electronics products, ensuring high quality designs.
LatticeXP devices have been used in two of IntelliProp's own bridge products, and have been designed into development boards offered for evaluation of IntelliProp's ATA-to-CE-ATA and CE-ATA-to-ATA/CF+ storage interface bridge solutions.
The CE-ATA IP Cores have been developed in close collaboration with storage system companies and are run through interoperability testing with multiple OEMs and vendors.
"Our partnership with IntelliProp signals our expanding presence in the storage market", said Stan Kopec, Corporate Vice President of Marketing.
"Lattice is pleased to welcome IntelliProp, along with its robust ATA design and verification solutions, into the ispLeverCore Connections programme".
"As a result of this partnership, Lattice and IntelliProp can provide a superior solution for a multitude of portable/handheld storage systems including digital media players, digital audio players, digital recorders and multimedia mobile phones, offering our mutual customers 'more of the best' solutions".
"We are impressed with the value proposition that the LatticeXP FPGAs offer the CE-ATA market, and are pleased to join Lattice's Connections programme", said Hiren Patel, President and Chief Technical Officer of IntelliProp.
"The performance and standby power capability of the LatticeXP device work well with our targeted storage applications".
"Lattice's ispLever design tools also made it very easy for us to target the LatticeXP device and hit our performance targets".
"We look forward to collaborating with Lattice on further ATA-based projects".
The IntelliProp CE-ATA/MMC-on-ATA host and device cores are industry-standard CE-ATA interfaces created to enable fast adoption of the CE-ATA/MMC-on-ATA storage interface communication protocol.
The CE-ATA cores are capable of running up to 52MHz and support 1, 4 and 8bit data transfers in a low-power implementation.
The protocol interface is compliant to the CE-ATA specification as defined by the CE-ATA consortium.
