Overview

Going forward, the movement is on from 3G to 4G. New, competing approaches such as WiMAX and LTE have arrived and base station topologies are evolving as well. Traditional implementations that co-locate the base station with the power amplifier and antenna are being replaced by distributed topologies where there is a central base station serving multiple remote antennas called Remote Radio Heads (RRH). This supports a smaller overall footprint and an overall lower cost for providers that facilitates the more rapid development of cellular networks.

Lattice offers an array of solutions to address this ever-changing market, starting with the Lattice ECP2M family. This unique family of devices offers designers the best of both worlds...a low cost FPGA fabric combined with the performance of integrated SERDES and DSP technology. This family serves as the ideal platform for various solutions including CPRI and OBSAI, high speed data conversion as well as RF and Baseband processing.
