LSCC-ARW-MCB

Intelligent motion control solution combining low power Lattice FPGAs with ADI’s secure connectivity, power management and precision technology to improve system efficiency. The board exposes encoder interfaces (ABZ & Hall), PMOD expansion headers, and HV board compatible finger edge connector for driving applications. Easy to use LEDs, pushbuttons, jumpers, and switches support rapid prototyping and testing.
The board supports embedded system development using Lattice Propel tools for RISC-V SoC design, making it ideal for industrial automation, robotics, and advanced networking applications.
12V input powers multi rail converters (5V, 1.8V, 1.1V, 1.0V core) with on board health indication via LEDs. Separate USB Mini ports supply FTDI bridges for FPGA configuration and I²C utility access.

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)
