HILLSBORO, OR – AUGUST 8, 2011 – Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced that XENTROTEC CO., LTD., Seoul, Korea, has chosen the mid-range LatticeECP3™ FPGA for use in its digital video recorder (DVR) solution. XENTROTEC, which recently introduced its new multichannel HD video multiplexer and HD digital video recorder solution at ISC WEST 2011, selected the LatticeECP3 FPGA over competing FPGAs and application-specific alternatives because the LatticeECP3 device’s built-in transceivers, high speed memory controllers and HD-SDI capability met the rigorous end market requirements for superior DVR video and image processing performance.
“The LatticeECP3 FPGA has enabled us to implement a low cost, low power, high performance HD-SDI-DVR solution with a high speed DDR3 interface. In addition, the LatticeECP3 FPGA is unique in that it is the only low cost solution in the marketplace to provide up to 16 SERDES transceivers The LatticeECP3 device also helps us to promptly respond to changing market demands,” said Sang Kyun, Kim (Philip), CEO of XENTROTEC. “The functionality implemented on the LatticeECP3 FPGA includes On-Screen Display, Motion Detection, SD to HD Scaler and Multi-SDI Quad and Mux. Also, because the LatticeECP3 FPGA is programmable, the solution can be scaled to apply to 4/8/8 embedded DVR channels, PCI add-in card-based solutions or video servers and switches.”
“We are pleased to collaborate with XENTROTEC and are proud that our LatticeECP3 device has been selected for their video multiplexer and recorder products. Lattice is committed to the support of HD-SDI technology with our LatticeECP3 FPGA family as well as design solutions that provide optimized image processing performance,” said Shakeel Peera, Lattice Director of Marketing for Silicon and Solutions. “Our collaboration with XENTROTEC will enable even more end customers to access the benefits of our SERDES-based LatticeECP3 FPGA, and our silicon and solutions roadmap will continue to support evolving video standards.”
About the Lattice ECP3 FPGA Family
The mid-range LatticeECP3 FPGA family is comprised of the lowest power, SERDES-enabled FPGAs in the market today. The family’s five FPGAs offer standards-compliant, multi-protocol 3.2G SERDES, DDR1/2/3 memory interfaces and high performance, cascadable DSP slices that are ideal for RF, baseband and image signal processing. Toggling at 1Gbps, the LatticeECP3 FPGAs also feature fast LVDS I/O as well as embedded memory of up to 6.8 Mbits. Logic density varies from 17K LUTs to 149K LUTs with up to 586 user I/O. The LatticeECP3 FPGA family is ideally suited for deployment in high volume cost- and power-sensitive video camera and display, wireline and wireless infrastructure applications.

STEVENSVILLE, MD–(Marketwire – September 29, 2009) – JTAG Technologies, a leading provider of IEEE Std. 1149.1 solutions for testing and programming high-density PCBs, announces a further extension of its line of high-performance boundary-scan IEEE Std. 1149.1 controllers. Known as the DataBlaster JT 37×7/PCIe, the new unit offers support for the now popular PCI-express slot format found extensively in today’s PCs. The PCIe bus is a high-speed serial replacement of the older parallel PCI bus.
In line with industry demands, the new boundary-scan controller satisfies the burgeoning requirements for high speed In-System Programming (ISP) of flash memories and CPLDs and complex digital circuit testing. The new DataBlaster JT 37×7/PCIe offers the user sustained test clock speeds of up to 40MHz by use of JTAG Technologies proprietary ETT™ (Enhanced Throughput Technology) system and features a flash image buffer memory which may be expanded to 128 Mbits.
Supplied with the complementary QuadPOD™, also from JTAG Technologies, the new DataBlaster/PCIe offers four synchronized TAPs (Test Access Ports) able to support multi-TAP test targets (UUT’s) or gang programming of four single TAP targets. QuadPOD™ is ‘low-voltage ready’ and the advanced technology also allows maximum test speeds at the target by incorporating high-speed signal conditioning, logic threshold adjustments and cable delay compensations in a compact, remote, extension module.
The scalable DataBlaster JT 37×7/PCIe range starts with the low-cost entry model JT 3707/PCIe, ideal for high-speed 40MHz test applications and in-system PLD programming. Companion models JT 3717/PCIe and JT 3727/PCIe, optionally fitted with an ETT™ module for flash ISP, support high-throughput flash programming as well as test and PLD programming. The flexible nature of ETT™ allows it to support memories with various data-bus widths from 1-bit to 64Kbit.
DataBlaster PCIe units are fully compatible with all revisions of JTAG Technologies test and ISP tools, such as JTAG ProVision and the former ‘Classic’ family of development and run-time packages. The JT 37×7/PCIe is available now.
