Lattice Semiconductor, the low power programmable leader, today announced the addition of new, logic-optimized Lattice Certus -NX FPGA devices to its leadership small FPGA portfolio. The new offering includes two new capacity points, the Certus -NX-28 and Certus -NX-09, and multiple package options that offer class-leading power efficiency, small size, and reliability with flexible migration options. These devices are designed to accelerate a broad range of Communications, Computing, Industrial, and Automotive applications.

"Lattice is committed to delivering continued innovation in small, low power FPGAs to empower 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're excited to expand our Nexus-based small FPGA offerings by adding more migratable logic and package options including 0.8 mm pitch, ideal for Industrial applications.""We are happy to see Lattice introduce new Certus-NX devices offering more low power, small footprint and migration options to the Industrial applications requiring high reliability," said Alberto Martin-Consuegra, VP Operations & Quality, ABB Process Automation.

Built on the award-winning Lattice Nexus FPGA platform, the new Lattice Certus-NX FPGAs offer the following features in comparison to competing FPGAs of a similar class in market:

• Leadership Power Efficiency with PCIe Gen 2
  • Up to 4X lower power enabling longer operating life for battery powered applications and simplified thermal management
  • Power/performance leadership enabled by FD-SOI process technology
• Industry-leading I/O Optimization in Smallest Form Factor
  • Up to 3X small form factor
  • Highest I/O count per package with up to 2X more I/O per mm²
  • Total cost ownership advantage through low power and no power sequencing requirements
  • Smallest PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet implementation in packages 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 memory block ECC for SEU protection
  • Up to 12X faster instant-on configuration performance

Reinhard Heizmann, Head of Distance Sensors R&D, Sensing Efficiency at SICK AG, said "With the new Lattice Certus-NX devices, we are able to optimize the right 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 release of Lattice Radiant design software.
