Lattice Semiconductor Corporation
ECP5, SiL1136 - Video Processing Video Evaluation Board
Active5 in stock

Overview

The LF-EVDK1-EVN is a modular development platform designed for high-performance video processing and computer vision at the edge. It features an ECP5 FPGA for low-power image processing and utilizes the SiL1136 HDMI transmitter to support high-definition video output. The kit provides a prototyping environment for bridging mobile image sensors to embedded displays and processors.

Why Choose This Part

The modular architecture allows engineers to swap input and output boards to match specific interface requirements like MIPI, HDMI, or DisplayPort. Its ECP5 FPGA provides a balance of high-speed SERDES capabilities and low power consumption, making it ideal for thermally constrained embedded environments.

Applications

Image Sensor Bridging
Converting MIPI CSI-2 camera signals to HDMI or other parallel video formats for display and analysis.
Edge AI and Machine Vision
Implementing low-latency object detection and image enhancement algorithms directly in the ECP5 FPGA fabric.
Multi-Camera Aggregation
Merging multiple camera streams into a single video output for 360-degree vision systems or industrial monitoring.
