FPSCs From Lattice

Lattice Semiconductor pioneered the approach of putting ASIC embedded cores and FPGA gates on the same silicon die. We call this a Field Programmable System Chip (FPSC). In contrast to ASICs with embedded FPGA gates, FPSCs have a broad range of uses. The embedded cores hold industry-standard Intellectual Property - bus interface, high-speed line interface, and high-speed transceiver cores. When these embedded cores are combined with hundreds of thousands of programmable gates they can be used in a variety of advanced system designs.

¹FPGA Functional Gate Refers to:

• The embedded core, embedded system bus, FPGA interface and MPI are not included in the FPGA Functional Gate counts.
• The Functional Gate ranges are derived from the following:
• Minimum Functional Gates assumes 100% of the PFU's are used for logic only (No PFU RAM) with 40% EBR usage and 2 PLL's.
• Maximum Functional Gates assumes 80% of the PFU's are for logic, 20% are used for PFU RAM, with 80% EBR usage and 6 PLL's.
