Lattice understøtter MIPI BIF standard

Lattice har annonceret adoptionen af den nye MIPI Battery Interface (BIF) standard i familien af iCE40 mobileFPGA'er (in english).

Lattice Semiconductor announced at the Mobile World Congress the adoption of the MIPI Battery Interface (BIF) standard within the iCE40 mobileFPGA family of products.  As an industry-created and adopted standard, the MIPI BIF single-wire specification accelerates the design and use of smart batteries in mobile devices.

Optimized for the iCE40 devices, Lattice’s MIPI BIF Master solution allows rapid support of this standard by existing mobile product chipsets and application processors.  The Lattice solution supports multiple classes of batteries and different topologies.  Additionally the Lattice reconfigurable iCE40 device provides customers with a path to innovation, enabling the inclusion of customized features on demand.  The MIPI BIF interface is offered as an IP core within the Lattice iCEcube2 software, providing designers with access to critical functions for their applications.

- As a participating member of the MIPI BIF committee, we are excited to bring our BIF Master solution to market, says Kapil Shankar, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Mobility Business Unit at Lattice Semiconductor. 
- This is another example of Lattice’s commitment to providing cost competitive solutions early in the adoption cycle of new standards, giving our customers a competitive edge.
