Key features and performance features of Lattice’s new low-power MachXO5T-NX FPGAs include:
- Control FPGA with PCIe
- Hardened PCIe Gen 2 interfaces between the host processor and the controlling FPGA.
- Increased logical and memory resources
- Up to 3.4x more onboard memory (7.2Mb) than competing products in a similar class, minimizing the need for external memory.
- Dedicated User Flash Memory (UFM) up to 100 times larger (57 Mb) than competing products of similar class, to store mission critical data and parameters.
- Up to 100 times lower soft error rate than competing products in similar class, increasing system reliability for safety-critical applications.
- Robust and programmable I/O
- It addresses the issues of modern CPUs and SoCs, which lack the robust 3.3V I/O signal support needed to communicate with many other devices in the system.
- Features up to 291 general-purpose I/Os that support early I/O configuration and offer additional features, such as 1.25Gbps SGMII, default pull-down, hot socketing, and programmable slew rate, to simplify board design .
- Safety at the top of the category
- On-chip multi-boot with bitstream encryption (AES256) and authentication (ECC256).
- Run-time security features not currently available in competing products of similar class.
