Focus on infotainment display connectivity and data processing
Suitable for zonal bridging applications for vehicle monitoring

Lattice Semiconductor unveiled a drive solution stack that supports infotainment connectivity and processing, flexible ADAS, and low-power zone bridging.

Lattice Semiconductor held an online conference on the 20th and announced the Lattice Drive™ solution stack, which accelerates the design and development of advanced automotive systems and applications.

Lattice Drive is designed for automotive applications including in-vehicle infotainment display connectivity and data processing, ADAS sensor bridging and processing, and low-power zonal bridging applications for driver, cabin, and vehicle monitoring.

“The automotive industry is rapidly evolving and becoming smarter through new technological advancements, particularly zonal architectures that require multiple sensors and displays across vehicle models,” said Bob O’Donnell, president and principal analyst at TECHnalysis Research. “Automakers need solutions that allow them to innovate their vehicles while maintaining flexibility for future updates.”

He continued, “Lattice Software “The solution provides significant benefits to customers and now allows them to more easily integrate Lattice’s low-power, small, and scalable FPGAs into a wide range of applications, including advanced automotive solutions,” he said.

The first version of Lattice Drive focuses on automotive infotainment display connectivity and data processing, providing advanced display connectivity and processing, multi-display connectivity, and efficient data processing capabilities:

Lattice Drives provide advanced display connectivity and processing capabilities, including: multi-resolution scaling and display sizes up to 4K; DisplayPort HBR 3 at 8.1 Gbps per lane; and scalable full-array local dimming solutions for image/video enhancement.

Multi-display connectivity allows for multiple displays to be connected, offering a DisplayPort interface that is up to 1.5 times faster than competing devices in the same class, while efficient data processing reduces power consumption by up to 75% compared to competing devices in the same class by reducing the load on the CPU by processing or co-processing data.

The Lattice Drive Solutions Stack also offers comprehensive, application-specific solutions that combine reference platforms and designs, demos, IP building blocks, and FPGA design tools, accelerating customer application development and time-to-market.

“Integrating comprehensive software solutions early in the application design process is critical to accelerating time to market,” said Esam Elashmawi, chief strategy and marketing officer at Lattice Semiconductor. “Lattice Drive delivers advanced automotive application capabilities, enabling customers to create innovative in-vehicle experiences based on low-power FPGA solutions.”“It makes developing adventures easier than ever before,” he said.
