Description

The CertusPro™-NX family of low-power general purpose FPGAs featuring 10G SerDes, LPDDR4 memory interface support and up to 100k logic cells can be used in a wide range of applications across multiple markets. It is built on the Lattice Nexus FPGA platform, using low-power 28 nm FD-SOI technology. It combines the extreme flexibility of an FPGA with the low power and high reliability (due to extremely low SER) of FD-SOI technology, and offers small footprint package options as well as 0.8 and 1.0 mm ball-pitch package options.

CertusPro-NX supports a variety of interfaces including PCI Express® (Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3), Ethernet (up to 10G), SLVS-EC, CoaXPress, eDP/DP, LVDS, Generic 8b10b, LVCMOS (0.9–3.3 V), and more.

Processing features of CertusPro-NX include up to 100k logic cells, 156 multipliers (18 × 18), 7.3 Mb of embedded memory (consisting of EBR and LRAM blocks), distributed memory and DRAM interfaces (supporting DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, and LPDDR4 up to 1066 Mbps × 64bit data width).

CertusPro-NX FPGAs support fast configuration of the reconfigurable SRAM-based logic fabric, ultra-fast configuration of its programmable sysI/O™ and the TransFR™ field upgrade feature. Design security features, such as AES-256 encryption and ECDSA authentication, are also supported. In addition to the high reliability inherent to FD-SOI technology (due to its extremely low SER), active reliability features such as built-in frame-based Soft Error Detection (SED)/Soft Error Correction (SEC) (for SRAM-based logic fabric), and ECC (for EBR and LRAM) are also supported in CertusPro-NX devices. Dual 1 MSPS 12-bit Analog to Digital Convertors (ADCs) are available on-chip for system monitoring functions.

The Lattice Radiant™ design software allows large complex user designs to be efficiently implemented in CertusPro-NX FPGA family. Synthesis library support for CertusPro-NX devices is available for popular logic synthesis tools. Radiant tools use the synthesis tool output along with constraints from its floor planning tools to place and route the user design in CertusPro-NX device. The tools extract timing from the routing and back-annotate it into the design for timing verification.

Lattice provides many pre-engineered Intellectual Property (IP) modules for CertusPro-NX family. By using these configurable soft IP cores as standardized blocks, you are free to concentrate on the unique aspects of your design, increasing your productivity.
