On April 25, Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), a leading provider of low-power programmable devices, announced the introduction of a new motion control reference platform that accelerates the development of flexible, efficient closed-loop motor control designs. The platform combines secure, low-power Lattice FPGas with ADI’s powerful industrial Ethernet interconnect, a hardware security engine, and support for multi-protocol design to provide the precise speed and power control indispensable for intelligent industrial automation applications.

TC-501-02-4M5 Matt Dobrodziej, vice president of Marketing and Business Development at Lattice, said: “As the digital transformation and automation of the factory floor continues to advance, we are excited to accelerate the productivity and reliability of smart manufacturing through our low-power, secure FPGA technology. This solution we developed with Analog Devices demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering smarter, more connected, and more efficient solutions to our industrial customers.

Key features of the new motion control reference platform include:

TC-501-02-4M5

• Low-power, small-size Lattice FPGas, including Lattice CertusPro-NX™ and Lattice MachXO3D™, with dedicated hardcore security engines and secure unique ids, are trusted to comply with the requirements of the European Cyber Resilience Act
Flexible, low-power ADI Industrial Ethernet interconnect for multi-protocol designs with precision analog power conversion technology to provide precise speed and power control

Fiona Treacy, managing Director of Analog Devices, said: “Approximately 65% of industrial energy consumption is generated by motor drive systems, and Analog Devices technology is driving efficient design of variable speed drives, with the potential to reduce energy consumption by 60% per year. Combining ADI’s precision current detection, power management and industrial Ethernet solutions with Lattice’s low-power TC-501-02-4M5 FPgas accelerates the development of efficient, compact and thermally optimized designs.

The new motion control development board was presented at 2024 Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, from April 9-11, 2024. Visit Lattice Hall 4, Booth #528, and experience innovative, low-power FPGA solutions powering industrial, automotive and security applications at the network edge.
