Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (LSCC) and Cypress Semiconductor Corp (CY) came together at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) to launch a low-cost development kit that provides a comprehensive reference design for USB 3.0-enabled video bridges.
The two companies collaborated to simplify USB 3.0 Video Bridge Designs. The new Lattice USB 3.0 Video Bridge Development Kit takes advantage of the LatticeECP3™ FPGA and the Cypress EZ-USB® FX3 USB 3.0 peripheral controller.
The FX3 provides an extremely adaptable and integrated feature that allows developers to add USB 3.0 connectivity to any system. Cypress recently announced that Yuan, a leading audio/video manufacturer in Taiwan, also selected its EZ-USB® FX3 controller for its HD capture box.
The kit (which consists of a Lattice USB 3.0 Video Bridge Reference Design; Nanovesta Sensor Adapter Board; Adapter board to USB3 board connecting cable; 5V Power Supply; USB 3.0 Cable and a quick start guide) integrates USB 3.0 audio and High-Definition (HD) video connectivity and is used for a variety of applications.
The kit provides developers of professional video equipment a ready solution for USB 3.0 video capture and a conversion system which allows for speedy appraisal and prototyping. The kit allows customization as schematic and layout files are accessible to users.
The Lattice USB 3.0 Video Bridge Development Kit is used in USB 3.0 cameras, industrial video systems, video editing systems, transcoding systems, Frame grabbers and various other systems.
The kit can be purchased from the Lattice store.
Lattice Semiconductor currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while Cypress Semiconductor sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Investors can also consider Ambarella, Inc. (AMBA) and Avago Technologies Ltd. (AVGO), both of which sport a Zacks Rank #1.
