Feature rich FPGA platform supports multiple wearable designs

LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR iCE40 Ultra Wearable Development Platform is suitable for use in designing low-power wearable devices for consumers. Based on the iCE40 Ultra FPGA, the platform provides a large number of sensors and peripherals. Platform uses a package that is 60% smaller than alternative microcontrollers. FPGA also supports a low power standby mode for always-on functionality. Hardware features and sensors supported by the platform include a 1.54-inch display, MEMS microphone, high-brightness LED, IR LED, BLE module and 32MB of flash memory. Platform also supports sensors capable of measuring heart rate/SpO2, skin temperature and pressure, as well as an accelerometer and gyroscope. Platform comes in a wrist watch form factor (1.5-inches wide x 1.57-inches long x 0.87-inches high) with a wrist strap and a built in battery. http://www.latticesemi.com
