CertusPro™-NX FPGA Versa Board

Lattice Semiconductor's CertusPro™-NX FPGA Versa Board allows designers to design and develop solutions with the CertusPro-NX field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The CertusPro-NX Versa Board supports several industry standards such as MIPI, SFP+, 10GbE, LPDDR4, and PCIe® Gen 3, providing engineers with a convenient platform for rapid prototyping and testing of their specific designs.

The CertusPro-NX Versa Board is built on the Lattice Nexus™ platform using low-power 28 nm FD-SOI technology. Along with the support of a wide range of industry standards, the CertusPro-NX 100K FPGA enables faster time to market as well as the ability to provide upgrades and enhancements throughout the product lifecycle by simply deploying new firmware.

An onboard 128 Mb SPI boot flash with a quad read feature is provided with various communication interfaces. FT2232H from FTDI (Future Technology Devices International) is built in, providing dual high-speed USB to multipurpose UART/FIFO and allowing conversion from USB to JTAG. Control buses support various configurations such as I²C, UART, and SPI.
