"Axelsys has been an outstanding partner for the Versa Development Kit," said Shakeel Peera, Lattice Director of Strategic Marketing, "Axelsys's electronic manufacturing solution has allowed Lattice to deliver the Versa Development Kit at an unprecedented price of $99.00 – this has enabled designers around the world to innovate with our low cost, low power LatticeECP3 mid-range FPGA solution."

Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS – known also as Contract Manufacturing or Contract Assembly) from Axelsys have proven to be an enabling service.  Small to Mid-Sized companies - traditionally unable to access high volume / low cost Asia manufacturing due their lower production volumes, now have a solution enabling them to compete with their larger competitors.

Pricing and Availability

The price for the Versa Development Kit is $99.00 and is available for immediate ordering via the Lattice online store at www.latticesemi.com/store/softwarecablesboards/fpgaboards.cfm
