LSCCLatticeECP3 Versa Development Kit
Overview
The LFE3-35EA-VERSA-EVN is a comprehensive evaluation platform for the LatticeECP3 FPGA family, specifically designed for low-power, high-bandwidth applications. It features a PCIe x1 interface and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing a robust hardware environment for prototyping serial connectivity designs. The board serves as an ideal starting point for developing high-speed networking and interface bridging solutions.
Why Choose This Part
This kit provides a rare combination of low power consumption and high-speed SERDES capabilities in a cost-effective package. It includes pre-integrated hardware for PCIe and Ethernet, significantly reducing the time required to bring up complex communication interfaces.
Applications
Getting Started
Designers should use the Lattice Diamond design software to develop HDL code and manage the implementation flow. The board can be programmed via the onboard USB-B port using the JTAG interface, and Lattice provides several reference designs for PCIe and Ethernet to accelerate the initial development phase.
