FPGA devices enhance efficiency, size, and reliability for tech projects and are suitable for automotive, industrial, computing, and communications applications.
Lattice Semiconductor has announced the expansion of its small FPGA portfolio by adding new logic-optimized Lattice Certus-NX FPGA devices. This release introduces the Certus-NX-28 and Certus-NX-09 models, available in various package options that prioritize power efficiency, size, and reliability with flexible migration options for diverse applications in the Communications, Computing, Industrial, and Automotive sectors.
These devices will benefit engineers and developers who need to optimize their projects’ power efficiency, size, and reliability. Additionally, they are well-suited for applications that demand high reliability and security, such as in safety-critical automotive systems, space-constrained industrial automation, complex computing operations, and robust communication infrastructure.
The devices, constructed on the Lattice Nexus FPGA platform, stand out in the market by featuring lower power consumption with PCIe Gen 2, which enhances battery life and simplifies thermal management. They also offer I/O optimization in the smallest available package sizes, ensuring a high I/O count per package. Additionally, these devices provide high reliability and security, evidenced by a reduced soft error rate, built-in SEU protection, and improved instant-on configuration performance.
“Lattice is committed to delivering continued innovation in small, low-power FPGAs to empower our customers with optimized solutions for space-constrained applications ranging from sensor interfacing to co-processing to low-power AI,” said Dan Mansur, Corporate Vice President, Product Marketing, Lattice Semiconductor. “We’re excited to expand our Nexus-based small FPGA offerings by adding more migratable logic and package options, including 0.8 mm pitch, ideal for Industrial applications.”
“We are happy to see Lattice introduce new Certus-NX devices offering more low power, small footprint and migration options to the Industrial applications requiring high reliability,” said Alberto Martin-Consuegra, VP of Operations & Quality, ABB Process Automation.
Reinhard Heizmann, Head of Distance Sensors R&D, Sensing Efficiency at SICK AG, said “With the new Lattice Certus-NX devices, we are able to optimize the right memory / LUT footprint, low power density, small packages, and migration options required for our sensors.”
