The devices can provide power consumption up to 4x lower than similar FPGAs. Up to 4x lower power consumption – Certus-NX FPGAs use a programmable back bias to enable user-selectable high performance or low power operating modes, depending on the needs of their application. Currently, Certus-NX devices are the smallest FPGAs on the market to support ECDSA. Robust authentication and encryption – To secure the devices’ bitstream against unauthorized access/alteration/copying, Certus-NX FPGAs support AES-256 with ECDSA authentication to protect devices throughout their lifecycles. Developers can test these IP blocks on Certus-NX development boards for the fast implementation of interfaces commonly used in Certus-NX FPGAs’ target applications. Notable IP blocks available on Certus-NX include:ġ.5 Gbps differential I/O with performance that is up to 70 percent higher than competing FPGAs.ĥ Gbps PCIe, 1.5 Gbps SGMII, and 1066 Mbps DDR3. Robust I/O interfacing capability – Certus-NX developers will have access to Lattice’s extensive IP library. In comparison to similar competing FPGAs to enable greater design flexibility and robust support for bridging applications. Even when using the smallest package available in the family, Certus-NX FPGAs deliver up to twice the I/O density per mm 2 For example, Certus-NX FPGAs can enable a complete PCIe solution with a size of only 36 mm 2 Up to 3x smaller form factor – Certus-NX FPGAs easily fit into compact designs with minimal impact on overall design footprint. Key features of the Lattice Certus-NX FPGA family include: These FPGAs will allow us to rapidly adapt to the challenging and evolving connectivity and performance needs of our customers.” “The latest generation of FPGAs by Lattice, Certus-NX, supports these standards and provides a high density of I/Os while keeping power consumption and overall device footprint in check.

“As an FPGA-centric design house, we’re seeing increasing adoption of serial protocols like PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet for chip-to-chip connectivity in many end applications, including 5G and IoT systems,” said Sanjeev Kumar, CEO, Logic Fruit Technologies. Device developers also need easy-to-use development platforms from a single source that provide the hardware, software, and IP they need to get products to market quickly. To successfully support these trends, devices require low power processing hardware with support for popular interfaces like PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet. Technology trends like industrial automation and 5G have developers across markets looking to add processing and connectivity to applications that operate at the network Edge. “Certus-NX has clearly reset expectations for what developers should look for in general-purpose FPGAs by providing a compelling blend of parallel processing performance and flexible I/O support that enables creative new device designs.” “Thanks to innovations at the system, architecture, and circuit level in our Lattice Nexus development platform, we are releasing new products at a faster pace and giving our customers more options to choose from as they evaluate the performance and power needs of their applications,” said Gordon Hands, Director of Product Marketing, Lattice Semiconductor. “Compared to competing FPGAs of similar gate counts, Lattice offers a much smaller package, greater I/O density, and lower power.”
“Certus-NX delivers unique and innovative capabilities that set it apart,” said Linley Gwennap, Principal Analyst at The Linley Group. With the launch of Certus-NX, Lattice marks the release of the second device family developed under Lattice’s new product development strategy in just six months. The Certus-NX devices are the second family of FPGAs developed on the Lattice Nexus™ platform, the industry’s first low power FPGA platform using 28 nm FD-SOI process technology. Certus-NX FPGAs target a range of applications, from data processing in automated industrial equipment to system management in communications infrastructure. In comparison to similar competing FPGAs, and provide best-in-class power savings, small size, reliability, instant-on performance, and support fast PCI Express (PCIe) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to enable data co-processing, signal bridging, and system control. The devices lead the general-purpose FPGA market in I/O density, delivering up to twice the I/O density per mm 2 (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today launched the new Lattice Certus™-NX family of FPGAs.
