Overview
Many traditional image sensors have a CMOS interface. However, many mobile applications processors only have MIPI CSI-2 interfaces. Many new applications want to leverage mobile innovations, while utilizing traditional image sensors with specific requirements and capabilities.
Lattice CrossLink™ is a programmable video interface bridging device capable of converting image sensors with CMOS interfaces up to 300 MHz to MIPI CSI-2 interfaces at up to 6 Gbps. This bridge is available as free IP in Lattice Diamond® for allowing easy configuration and setup.

Lattice Prompt pairs with AI agentic tools developers already use, combining them with Lattice design tools, knowledge base, and documentation to turn natural language inputs into validated responses, dramatically accelerating FPGA development while optimizing design performance and capability.
First announced on May 4, 2026, the acquisition creates the industry's most complete secure management and control platform.
The acquisition brings together Lattice’s industry-leading low power FPGAs with AMI’s industry‑leading platform firmware and infrastructure manageability solutions for cloud and AI to create a complete portfolio of secure management and control solutions.
The collaboration demonstrates a real-time AI sensor fusion architecture that integrates TI mmWave radar and camera sensors using NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge running on Lattice’s low power FPGA. The FPGA acts as a companion chip delivering synchronized sensor data directly into GPU-accessible memory to enable low-latency and robust perception for robotics and industrial edge AI applications.
Sets new standard for secure control FPGAs with full CNSA 2.0-compliant post-quantum cryptography, crypto-agility, and hardware Root of Trust for next-generation infrastructure
Lattice Semiconductor today announced that the company expanded its small FPGA portfolio with new, high I/O density options in the Lattice Certus™-NX FPGA and Lattice MachXO5™-NX FPGA device families.
