Lattice's Mach-N2 FPGA distinguishes itself as the only small-form-factor device offering a complete, hardware-implemented CNSA 2.0-compliant post-quantum cryptography suite with field-updatable algorithms. This capability directly addresses the upcoming January 1, 2027 procurement deadline for quantum-resistant signing in national security systems, positioning the chip as a critical infrastructure component rather than a general-purpose accelerator. The integration of these cryptographic services into the Nexus 2 platform represents a significant step forward in making post-quantum security accessible for secure control applications without requiring hardware redesigns.
Lattice Mach-N2 meets CNSA 2.0 standards for post-quantum crypto

Lattice Semiconductor announced the Mach-N2 secure control FPGA family and the Lattice Prompt AI design tool, with Mach-N2 combining up to 220K system logic cells with the only full CNSA 2.0-compliant post-quantum cryptography suite among small FPGAs. The pairing defends the secure control franchise as post-quantum mandates convert security into a procurement gate.
Lattice Semiconductor introduced the Mach-N2 secure control FPGA family, offering up to 220K system logic cells alongside what the company presents as the only full CNSA 2.0-compliant post-quantum cryptography suite available in a small FPGA. This combination positions Mach-N2 to capitalize on an emerging procurement shift, as new national security system acquisitions face a January 1, 2027 deadline for quantum-resistant signing. Lattice reported Q2 FY 2026 revenue of $201.1 million, up 62.2% year over year, and Compute and Communications revenue of $126.0 million growing 83. Mach-N2 Achieves Full CNSA 2.0 Compliance for Post-Quantum Security The Lattice Mach-N2 family fully complies with the CNSA 2.0 standard, a benchmark for post-quantum cryptography, and delivers a complete algorithm suite for device protection alongside user-callable services for firmware authentication and encryption.…
