Lattice launches 12Gbps wireless connector

Lattice launches 12Gbps wireless connector

Typical applications include mobile accessories, tablets, notebooks, action and surveillance cameras. The development is similar to that of startup Keyssa although Keyssa wireless connectors operate at up to 6Gbps, according to an August 2017 press release on the company’s website (see Keyssa launches 60GHz contactless connector).

Lattice’s 12Gbps data rate is full-duplex bandwidth at sub-frame latencies, Lattice claims, making this technology suitable for the replacement of physical connectors, such as USB.

Lattice has created a Snap evaluation kit. The Snap modules are compliant with regulatory requirements in several jurisdictions and the evaluation kit includes the modules, system design guidelines and de-bug tools.

The features include 12 Gb/s bidirectional bandwidth; simultaneous transfer of standard protocols such as USB 2.0 (LS, FS, or HS), USB 3.1 Gen1, and I2C; elimination of mechanical connector failures; flexible connector placement; and no firmware/drivers required – the Snap connector mimics a mechanical connector in that no additional software drivers are required to enable link.
