Lattice Semiconductor CrossLink-NX™ Evaluation Board

Lattice Semiconductor CrossLink-NX™ Evaluation Board is a demonstration and prototyping platform based on the CrossLink-NX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The CrossLink-NX evaluation board features the CrossLink-NX 40K LC FPGA in a 400-ball caBGA package (LIFCL-40-9BG400C). The Evaluation Board also features connectors for an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) and a Raspberry Pi SBC. Additional headers for Digilent Peripheral Module (Pmod™), MIPI CSI-2 camera, D-PHY, and general-purpose I/O expansion are provided. With a 118 wide range I/O, 37 high-speed differential pair I/O, one PCIe 5G SERDES channel, and 40K Logic Cells available for user-defined applications, the Lattice Semiconductor CrossLink-NX evaluation board allows designers to thoroughly investigate and experiment with the features of the CrossLink-NX FPGA family.

CrossLink-NX

Built on the 28nm FD-SOI Lattice Nexus platform, the CrossLink-NX family of FPGAs lead their class in power, small form factor, reliability, and performance. These devices are optimized for a wide range of applications, including embedded vision, sensor and display bridging, sensor aggregation, sensor duplication, and AI inferencing at the Edge.
