Traditionally, Intellectual Property (IP) cores are licensed for a specific endproduct. This approach works well if you have a specific project that needs a specific IP function added. But, if you find yourself working on many solutions within an application space, over a period of time, a much more straightforward approach is helpful. Lattice's bundled IP cores, known as IP Suites, provide many of the functions required to develop a total solution for some of today's hottest applications. Each IP Suite includes a number of related IP cores, supporting multiple Lattice FPGA families. Lattice IP Suites are licensed with a time-based licensing approach, meaning there is no limit to how many uses you make of the IP cores during the licensing period. License extensions are available at a reduced rate as well. The following table summarizes the IP cores included in each IP Suite, and the FPGA families supported: - combination is included in the IP Suite FPGA Technology MachXO LatticeXP LatticeXP2 LatticeECP/EC LatticeECP2/M LatticeSC IP Value Suite DDR Controller DDR2 Controller FFT Compiler FIR Filter Tri-Speed MAC System Design IP Suite DDR Controller DDR2 Controller PCI Master/Target 32-bit PCI Target 32-bit PCI Express x1 PCI Express x4 Scatter-Gather DMA Controller WiMAX Design IP Suite Block Convolutional Encoder Block Viterbi Decoder Dynamic Block RS Decoder Dynamic Block RS Encoder http://www.latticesemi.com/corporate/newscenter/newsletters/newsnovember2008/ipsuite... 10/11/2011 IP Suites Page 2 of 3 MachXO LatticeXP LatticeXP2 LatticeECP/EC LatticeECP2/M LatticeSC FFT Compiler Interleaver/De-Interleaver DSP Design IP Suite CIC Filter DA-FIR Filter FFT Compiler FIR Filter Num.

Just follow these simple steps: 1. Contact your Lattice sales representative to order the Suite you want 2. Sign the Lattice IP usage/license agreement (you can get this from your Lattice sales representative) 3. When your order is processed, just request an updated ispLEVER license, and you’re licensed to use the IP for 1 year – with no limits on the number of target designs, IP reconfigurations or FPGA technologies used. When the 1-year period is over, you can extend your IP Suite license at a discounted rate. Since Lattice IP cores are configured with the IPexpress tool, included with the ispLEVER software, a licensed copy of the ispLEVER is required to use the IP suites. Each IP Suite is a node-locked license type. Try Before You Buy Using the Lattice IPexpress tool you can create custom configurations of IP cores, fully integrate them into your design, and even test them in hardware before you buy anything. These trial configurations will only run for a limited time in hardware however (usually 30 minutes), after which time you’ll have to re-program the silicon device. If you like what you see, just purchase the IP core license to remove the time-limited restriction and you’re done.
