The LatticeECP3™ (EConomy Plus Third generation) family of FPGA devices is optimized to deliver high perfor-mance features such as an enhanced DSP architecture, high speed SERDES and high speed source synchronous interfaces in an economical FPGA fabric. This combination is achieved through advances in device architecture and the use of 65nm technology making the devices suitable for high-volume, high-speed, low-cost applications. The LatticeECP3 device family expands look-up-table (LUT) capacity to 149K logic elements and supports up to 586 user I/Os. The LatticeECP3 device family also offers up to 320 18x18 multipliers and a wide range of parallel I/O standards. The LatticeECP3 FPGA fabric is optimized with high performance and low cost in mind. The LatticeECP3 devices utilize reconfigurable SRAM logic technology and provide popular building blocks such as LUT-based logic, distrib-uted and embedded memory, Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), Delay Locked Loops (DLLs), pre-engineered source synchronous I/O support, enhanced sysDSP slices and advanced configuration support, including encryption and dual-boot capabilities. The pre-engineered source synchronous logic implemented in the LatticeECP3 device family supports a broad range of interface standards, including DDR3, XGMII and 7:1 LVDS. The LatticeECP3 device family also features high speed SERDES with dedicated PCS functions. High jitter toler-ance and low transmit jitter allow the SERDES plus PCS blocks to be configured to support an array of popular data protocols including PCI Express, SMPTE, Ethernet (XAUI, GbE, and SGMII) and CPRI. Transmit Pre-empha-sis and Receive Equalization settings make the SERDES suitable for transmission and reception over various forms of media. The LatticeECP3 devices also provide flexible, reliable and secure configuration options, such as dual-boot capa-bility, bit-stream encryption, and TransFR field upgrade features. The Lattice Diamond™ and ispLEVER® design software allows large complex designs to be efficiently imple-mented using the LatticeECP3 FPGA family. Synthesis library support for LatticeECP3 is available for popular logic synthesis tools. Diamond and ispLEVER tools use the synthesis tool output along with the constraints from its floor planning tools to place and route the design in the LatticeECP3 device. The tools extract the timing from the routing and back-annotate it into the design for timing verification. Lattice provides many pre-engineered IP (Intellectual Property) modules for the LatticeECP3 family. By using these configurable soft core IPs as standardized blocks, designers are free to concentrate on the unique aspects of their design, increasing their productivity.

EB43 PCI Express桥接 评估板

As PCI Express applications have emerged, the LatticeECP3™ FPGA family has become a well-suited solution for many system designs. The features of the LatticeECP3 PCI Express Solutions Board can assist engineers with rapid-prototyping and testing their designs. The board is an enhanced form-factor of the PCI Express add-in card specification. It allows for full x1 form-factor compliance and x4 is available for demonstration purposes with some non-standard form-factor issues. The flexibility to use the same board to demonstrate both x1 and x4 configurations is accomplished by simply changing the mounting hardware. The board has several debugging and analyzing fea-tures for complete evaluation of the LatticeECP3 device. This guide is intended to be referenced in conjunction with evaluation design tutorials to demonstrate the LatticeECP3 FPGA.

This user’s guide describes the LatticeECP3 PCI Express Solutions Board featuring the LatticeECP3 LFE3-95EA-FN672 FPGA. The stand-alone evaluation board provides a functional platform for development and rapid prototyp-ing of applications that require high-speed SERDES interfaces to demonstrate PCI Express capabilities using an add-on card form-factor. The board is manufactured using standard FR4 dielectric and through-hole vias. The nom-inal impedance is 50-ohm for single-ended traces and 85-ohm for differential traces.
