Xilinx launches ‘industry’s first’ 20 nanometer space-grade FPGA chip

by Leave a Comment

Chipmaker Xilinx claims it has achieved “lift-off” with the launch of what it says is the industry’s first 20 nanometer space-grade FPGA for satellite and space applications.

Xilinx, which invented field-programmable gate array chips, says the new FPGA provides full radiation tolerance and ultra-high throughput and bandwidth performance for satellite and space applications.

The new 20nm Radiation Tolerant Kintex UltraScale XQRKU060 FPGA provides true unlimited on-orbit reconfiguration, over a 10x increase in digital signal processing (DSP) performance – ideal for payload applications – and full radiation tolerance across all orbits, says Xilinx.

Arrow Electronics and Exor launch IoT edge platform for smart factories

by Leave a Comment

Arrow Electronics has collaborated with Exor Embedded to create gigaSOM gS01, a full production design and an additional development kit featuring a high-performance, energy-efficient system on module (SOM) for IoT edge deployments.

The SOM combines the power and efficiency of the Intel Atom E3900 processor series with the flexibility of an Intel Cyclone 10 GX FPGA, connected with a high-bandwidth dual-lane PCIe interface to create a unified high-performing engine.

gigaSOM gS01 is a combined X86 CPU and Intel high-speed FPGA design on a single system on module. [Read more…] about Arrow Electronics and Exor launch IoT edge platform for smart factories

Xilinx unveils ‘world’s largest’ FPGA chip with 9 million system logic cells

by

Xilinx has launched what it claims is the “world’s largest” FPGA chip featuring 9 million system logic cells.

Xilinx says the new chip represents the expansion of its 16 nanometer (nm) Virtex UltraScale+ range.

The new FPGA – the Virtex UltraScale+ VU19P – has 35 billion transistors, and provides “the highest logic density and I/O count on a single device ever built”, according to Xilinx. [Read more…] about Xilinx unveils ‘world’s largest’ FPGA chip with 9 million system logic cells

Lattice Semiconductor launches ‘complete hardware stack’

by

Lattice Semiconductor has launched something called Lattice sensAI, which it describes as “a complete technology stack” combining modular hardware kits, neural network IP cores, software tools, reference designs and custom design services.

The company says the purpose is to accelerate the integration of machine learning inferencing into broad market IoT applications.

With solutions optimized for ultra-low power consumption (under 1 mW–1 W), small package size (5.5 mm2 –100 mm2), interface flexibility (MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, GigE, and so on), and high-volume pricing (~$1-$10 USD), Lattice sensAI stack fast-tracks implementation of edge computing close to the source of data.  [Read more…] about Lattice Semiconductor launches ‘complete hardware stack’
