eInfochipsEIC-MCB-LTC-FPGAProgrammable Logic Development Boards and Kits

Brief Description:
The Lattice CertusPro-NX FPGA based development kit integrates multiple Analog Devices Ethernet PHYs to support closed-loop motor control over Ethernet. The board provides dedicated encoder interfaces (ABZ and Hall), PMOD expansion headers, and a high-voltage–compatible finger-edge connector for motor-drive applications. It also includes user-friendly LEDs, pushbuttons, jumpers, and switches to facilitate rapid prototyping and system validation.
The board supports embedded system development using Lattice Propel tools for RISC-V SoC design, making it well suited for industrial automation, robotics, and advanced networking applications.
A 12 V input drives the on-board multi-rail power architecture, providing regulated 5 V, 1.8 V, 1.1 V, and 1.0 V core supplies, with corresponding health indicators via status LEDs. Dedicated USB Mini ports power the FTDI bridges for FPGA configuration and provide access to I²C utilities.

Key Features and Benefits:
• Multi‑protocol industrial Ethernet on a single board: 10BASE‑T1L for long‑reach SPE, dual 10/100M Ethernet Port, and 1G RGMII for backbone connectivity.
• Fast bring‑up and low power using Lattice Nexus™ technology: I/O ready in ~4 ms and full device configuration in < 30 ms.
• Robust security with dual‑device architecture: MachXO3D hardware root‑of‑trust plus MAXQ1065 cryptographic controller for secure boot, TLS/DTLS, and tamper detection.
• Encoder‑ready motion control: ABZ & Hall inputs enable precise closed‑loop control across servo, BLDC, and stepper motors.
• Rapid prototyping UX: Clearly labeled status LEDs, pushbuttons, jumpers, and switches simplify test and debug.
• Expandable platform: PMOD headers and HV finger‑edge connector support custom mezzanines and high‑voltage driver boards.

Applications:
• Industrial motor control & drives
• Robotics motion control
• EtherCAT gateways & networked actuators
• Condition monitoring over single‑pair Ethernet (10BASE‑T1L)
• Rapid prototyping of FPGA‑based SoCs (e.g., RISC‑V with Lattice Propel)
