Overview
The DDR/DDR2 Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Controller MACO Core is a general-purpose memory controller that interfaces with industry standard DDR/DDR2 SDRAM devices and modules. This IP core is an IPexpress configurable core that provides the flexibility for modifying data widths, burst transfer rates, and CAS latency settings in a design. It provides a simple command interface for application logic. The controller can be configured to function as a DDR only or DDR2 memory controller.
This proven DDR/DDR2 core is optimized utilizing MACO ASIC gates in the LatticeSCM devices, resulting in fast, small cores that utilize the latest architecture to its fullest.
Note the RLDRAM IP Core is implemented using both MACO ASIC gates and soft logic in the FPGA array. Since a significant portion of the implementation is in MACO, more of the FPGA Array is left for the user.
Software Requirements
* ispLEVER version 7.1 or later
* MACO design kit
* MACO license file

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.
