Lattice Expands Low Power, Small FPGA Portfolio with High IO Density and Secure Device Options

Lattice Semiconductor announced that the company expanded its small FPGA portfolio with new, high I/O density options in the company’s Certus-NX FPGA and MachXO5-NX FPGA device families.

These offerings include multiple logic density and I/O options in a variety of new packages. These new devices are for a wide range of solutions that require low power consumption, a small form factor, high 3.3V I/O, and security capabilities – making them well-suited for power-constrained AI, industrial, communications, server, and automotive applications.

“At Lattice, we’re committed to empowering our customers with the flexibility and features they need to innovate across a wide range of applications,” said Dan Mansur, corporate VP, product marketing, Lattice Semiconductor. “By introducing higher I/O density and additional security-focused configurations in compact, low power devices, we’re enabling developers with new ways to address the stringent thermal, connectivity, and form factor constraints of their designs.”

Built on Nexus FPGA platform,newly added Certus-NX and MachXO5-NX devices offer following features in comparison to competing FPGAs of a similar class in market:

Robust and Customizable Connectivity in Small Form Factor
- Highest I/O count per package, including 3.3V I/O with up to 2X more I/O per package body size
- Differential I/O (1.5Gb) enabling up to 70% faster data transfer
Industry-leading System Integration Capabilities
- Up to 4X lower power enabling simplified thermal management
- Fast time to market and cost efficiency through no power sequencing order requirements
- Integrated flash options for enhanced secure configuration
- Up to 12X faster configuration performance for ultrafast boot time
Highest Reliability and Device Security
- Up to 100X lower soft error rate, improving system reliability for safety-critical applications
- Built-in SEC and memory block ECC for SEU protection
