Overview

The LFCPNX-VERSA-EVN is a high-performance evaluation platform for the Lattice CertusPro-NX-100 FPGA, built on the 28nm FD-SOI Lattice Nexus platform. It features a PCIe x4 Gen3 interface, dual 10G SFP+ cages, and LPDDR4 memory, making it an ideal prototyping target for high-bandwidth data co-processing and edge networking applications.

Why Choose This Part

This board provides a significant power-to-performance advantage thanks to the Nexus platform's low power consumption and high reliability. It offers diverse high-speed connectivity options including SerDes-based 10GbE and PCIe Gen3 in a standard half-length PCIe card form factor.

Applications

High-Speed Networking
Utilize dual 10G SFP+ and 1G SGMII interfaces for implementing high-speed Ethernet bridges and protocol converters.
PCIe Gen3 Endpoints
Develop and test PCIe x4 Gen3 endpoint or root port designs for industrial PC acceleration and storage controllers.
Machine Vision
Interface with high-resolution image sensors via the MIPI CSI-2 connector for real-time edge image processing.
Industrial IoT Gateways
Prototype secure, low-power gateways using the integrated USB 3.0 controller and various on-board serial interfaces.
