Lattice Semiconductor Corporation announced unaudited consolidated earnings results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2013. For the quarter, the company reported revenue was $71.16 million against $71.7 million a year ago. Income from operations was $2.64 million against $0.153 million a year ago. Income before provision for income taxes was $2.59 million against $0.217 million a year ago. Net income was $1.89 million against loss of $7.71 million a year ago. Diluted earnings per share were $0.02 against loss of $0.07 a year ago. Capital expenditures were $3.05 million against $3.44 million a year ago. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the company announced revenue is expected to increase approximately 15% to 20% on a sequential basis. Gross margin percentage is expected to be approximately 51% plus or minus 2%.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation announced the SensorExtender(TM) reference design that offers a low-cost approach to remotely locate image sensors up to eight meters away from the image signal processor (ISP) and transmit and receive video signals at resolutions that range up to 720p60 and 1080p30. The reference design uses inexpensive low-cost Cat5E cable to carry high-definition video and to send I(2) C sensor control signals from the ISP during the vertical blanking period. Three twisted pairs carry the video and commands while a fourth pair provides power and ground to the remotely located sensors. This solution serves applications that require image sensors to be separated from the image signal processor, which are often placed in tight spaces without room for adjacent ISPs to process the image. Typical applications include medical probes, large screen TVs with an integrated HD camera, surveillance domes, piping inspection ports, and point-of-sale scanners. The SensorExtender may link a single sensor to an ISP or connect a number of sensors to a central processor. SensorExtender Features: The reference design uses two Lattice MachXO2(TM) low density FPGAs: one is placed next to the image sensor and the other is located just before the ISP. A single twisted pair CAT5E/6 cable connects the two. The SensorExtender solution offers a variety of interfaces (before serialization) for CSI-2, HiSPi, parallel, or sub-LVDS image sensors along with support for extending two or more image sensors. Additionally, the reference design allows parallel or serial ISP interfaces (after-deserialization). Designers can configure parallel interfaces to handle 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V LVCMOS levels.
