Lattice sensAI 3.0 Solutions cuts Power consumption in Half

Enhanced Version of Award-winning Solutions Stack Now Available on Low Power, 28 nm FD-SOI-based Lattice CrossLink-NX FPGAs

HILLSBORO, Ore.—Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today launched the latest version of its complete solutions stack for on-device AI processing at the Edge, Lattice sensAI™ 3.0. The latest version of the stack includes support for the CrossLink-NX™ family of FPGAs for low power smart vision applications and features customized convolutional neural network (CNN) IP, a flexible accelerator IP that simplifies implementation of common CNN networks and is optimized to further leverage the parallel processing capabilities of FPGAs. With the addition of support for CrossLink-NX FPGAs, Lattice sensAI brings new levels of power and performance to smart vision applications in the surveillance/security, robotics, automotive, and computing markets.

To address data security, latency, and privacy issues, developers want to move the AI processing that powers their smart vision and other AI applications from the cloud to the Edge. Most Edge devices are battery-powered or otherwise sensitive to power consumption, so developers need hardware and software solutions that deliver the processing capabilities needed for AI applications, while keeping power consumption as low as possible. By enhancing the sensAI stack, Lattice is widening the range of power and performance options available to customers. For applications like smart vision that require higher Edge AI performance, CrossLink-NX FPGAs running sensAI software deliver twice the performance at half the power when compared to prior releases of the solutions stack.

“With enhancements optimized for our new low power CrossLink-NX family of FPGAs, the latest release of our Lattice sensAI stack provides a compelling blend of performance and power consumption,” said Hussein Osman, Market Segment Manager, Lattice Semiconductor. “Lattice is building on the success we’ve had to date with sensAI by continually improving the stack’s capabilities and ease-of-use for customers by releasing new, ready-to-implement application demos and reference designs for popular AI applications.”

New and updated features of the sensAI solutions stack include:
