Lattice Semiconductor, the leader in low-power programming, announced the addition of new logic-optimized Lattice Certus™-NX FPGA devices to its small FPGA portfolio. The new offering includes two new capability points, the Certus™-NX-28 and Certus™-NX-09, and multiple package options that deliver industry-leading power efficiency, small size and reliability with flexible migration options. These devices are designed to accelerate a wide range of applications in communications, computing, industrial and automotive.
“Lattice is committed to continuing to innovate in small, low-power FPGAs to provide 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 are excited to expand our Nexus-based small FPGA offering by adding more migratable logic and package options, including a 0.8 mm pitch, ideal for industrial applications.”
“We are pleased to see Lattice launch new Certus-NX devices offering more low-power, small-footprint and migration options for industrial applications requiring high reliability,” said Alberto Martin-Consuegra, vice president of operations and quality, ABB Process Automation.

Built on the award-winning Lattice Nexus™ FPGA platform, the new Lattice Certus-NX FPGAs offer the following features compared to competing FPGAs of a similar class in the market:
- Unmatched eco-efficiency with PCIe® Gen 2
- Up to 4 times less energy consumed, enabling longer life for battery-powered applications and simplified thermal management
- Power/Performance Leadership with FD-SOI Process Technology
- I/O optimization with the smallest form factor
- Form factor up to three times smaller
- Highest I/O per enclosure with up to 2x more I/O per mm2
- Total cost of ownership advantage due to low power and no power sequencing requirements
- Smaller PCIe® and Gigabit Ethernet deployment in enclosures as small as 36 mm2
- Highest reliability and device security
- Up to 100x lower soft error rate, improving system reliability for safety-critical applications
- Built-in SEC and ECC memory block for SEU protection
- Instant setup performance up to 12x faster
Reinhard Heizmann, Head of R&D Distance Sensors, Sensor Efficiency, SICK AG, says: “With the new Lattice Certus-NX devices, we are able to optimize the memory/LUT footprint, low power density, small packages and migration options required for our sensors.”
The new Certus-NX FPGA devices are shipping today and are supported by the latest version of Lattice Radiant® design software.
