ECP5-5G Versa Development Board
Overview
The LFE5UM5G-85F-EVN is an evaluation board for the ECP5-5G series FPGA, featuring the LFE5UM5G-85F device with 84K logic cells and high-speed SERDES capabilities. It provides a robust platform for prototyping multi-protocol serial interfaces including PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, and CPRI. The hardware includes onboard memory, expansion headers, and clocking resources to support high-bandwidth applications.
Why Choose This Part
This platform features high logic density with 84K LUTs and integrated SERDES for 5G data rates at a significantly lower power consumption than equivalent high-end FPGAs. The inclusion of TransFR technology allows for non-volatile field upgrades, while the extensive IO support covers modern standards like LVDS, MIPI, and HSUL.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Start development by downloading Lattice Diamond software for synthesis and layout. Connect the board via the included USB cable to utilize the onboard JTAG programming interface and explore the reference designs for PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet provided by Lattice. Ensure your power supply matches the 1.14V to 1.26V core voltage requirements specified in the datasheet.
