Certus-NX

Certus-NX FPGA Family

Lattice Certus-NX is a low-power FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) family designed and manufactured by Lattice Semiconductor. It offers a wide range of features that make it suitable for applications that require low power consumption, high performance, and a compact form factor.
The Certus™-NX family of low-power general-purpose FPGAs can be used in a wide range of applications across multiple markets, and are optimized for bridging and processing needs in Edge applications. 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 with a high amount of I/O per mm2. Design security features such as AES-256 encryption and ECDSA authentication are also supported.

Features

• Up to 2x more I/O per mm2 vs. similar FPGAs, in packages as small as 6×6 mm, with support for PCIe and GigE (SGMII).
• Up to 70% faster differential I/O (vs. similar FPGAs) at 1.5 Gbps. 5 Gbps PCIe, 1.25 Gbps SGMII (GigE) and 1066 Mbps DDR3 memory interfaces also supported.
• Up to 4x lower power vs. similar FPGAs. Up to 100x higher reliability, due to 100x lower Soft Error Rate (SER) from 28 nm FD-SOI technology.
• Lattice Certus-NX uses a highly optimized architecture that minimizes power consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered or other low-power applications.
• The FPGAs in the Certus-NX family offer high-speed performance, making them well-suited for applications that require real-time processing.
• Lattice Certus-NX FPGAs are available in a range of small package sizes, making them ideal for applications with limited space.
• The Certus-NX family includes a range of security features, including advanced encryption and tamper detection, which can help protect sensitive data in applications such as IoT devices.
• Lattice Certus-NX FPGAs are designed to be easy to use, with features such as pre-built IP cores and a range of development tools that make it easy to get started with FPGA programming.
