Lattice Semiconductor Corporation announces the full-rate SPI-4.2 product based on a low-cost FPGA fabric. This device, consisting of a LatticeECP2™ FPGA plus a Lattice-developed soft Intellectual Property (IP) core, is fully compliant with the Optical Internetworking Forum’s (OIF) System Packet Interface Level 4 (SPI-4) Phase 2 Standard, a parallel interface found in telecom/datacom applications at 10 Gb/s rates and below. The ability to operate at the full 10 Gb/s line rate is made possible by the company's sysI/O™ interface structure, which contains pre-engineered elements designed to support the implementation of very fast, source synchronous interfaces such as DDR2 and SPI-4.2.
