Lattice Mach-N2 Meets CNSA 2.0 Standards For Post-quantum Crypto

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. This distinction separates Mach-N2 from competitors currently outlining plans for compliance, as Lattice asserts it has both the complete algorithm set implemented in hardware and the programmable quantum-resistant cryptographic services available to users at runtime.

Algorithms within the Mach-N2 are field-updatable with anti-rollback protection, allowing deployed systems to adapt to revisions from the National Institute of Standards and Technology without requiring a hardware redesign. Lattice claims this capability is verifiable through competitor documentation, a statement supported by analysis from Futurum. The Mach-N2, built on the Lattice Nexus 2 platform, offers system logic cell counts ranging from 65K to 220K system logic cells, and integrates non-volatile flash memory alongside a hardware Root of Trust.
