NEC develops reliable FPGAs for space travel
NEC and the Japanese Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology create an FPGA technology with higher radiation tolerance for use in space systems.
CES: Intel GOes for self-driving cars
Intel is focusing on self-driving cars at CES with FPGA-boosted x86 processing, calling it the ‘Intel GO in-vehicle development platform for automated driving’ in which FPGAs sit alongside either an Atom or Xeon processor. “These FPGA and CPU-based boards can serve automakers as they look for a rapid, yet reliable way to design ADAS systems,” said Dan McNamara, general manager of ...
Lattice gives iCE40 more power, I/O and memory
Lattice Semiconductor has increased the specification of its iCE40 range of low power FPGAs for mobile applications.
First PWM controller with AVSBus, supplies up to 450A for FPGAs
Intersil announces high power digital multi-phase controllers equipped with AVSBus (adaptive voltage scaling bus), claiming them to be the first that communicate using the standard.
16nm FinFET FPGAs in production, says Xilinx
Xilinx says it has reached a significant production milestone for its 16nm UltraScale+ FPGAs ahead of schedule. “Less than a year after first ship of all devices, open order entry for production devices is available this quarter,” said the company. Xilinx UltraScale+ FPGA family is a FinFET-based programmable technology which is now available at 14nm or 16nm process nodes. This includes Kintex, Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs ...
Intel samples Stratix 10 for data centres and networking
Intel has started sampling its Stratix 10 FPGA, which uses Intel’s 14nm tri-gate (finfet) process. Claimed benefits over the last generation of Stratix are: 2x core performance 5x the density Up to 70% lower power than Stratix V (equivalent performance) Up to 10 TFlops single-precision floating point DSP Up to 1 Tbit/s memory bandwidth with integrated HBM2 (high-bandwidth memory) in-package ...
Achronix board delivers acceleration for data centres
Achronix has announced availability of the new PCIe form factor Accelerator-6D accelerator board which is the industry’s highest single-FPGA memory bandwidth, PCIe add-in card for high-speed data center acceleration applications. The board integrates a Speedster 22i HD1000 FPGA with 700,000 look-up-tables that connects to six independent memory controllers allowing for up to 192 GB of memory and 690 Gbps of ...
Updated: Micro-sequencing crams 8051 into tiny FPGA space
Californian start-up MicroCore Labs has announced an 8051 soft processor core, four of which will fit into 1227 LUTs on a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. The core is called MCL51. “Because it is based on a microsequencer, this four-core demonstration is even smaller than a single soft-core gate-based 8051,” the company founder, known simply as Edward, told Electronics Weekly. “The execution unit of ...
Sundance adds Xilinx Ultrascale FPGA to EMC-2 boards
Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Of Chesham has integrated Xilinx’s smallest Kintex UltraScale FPGA with its EMC2-family of embedded boards for the “OneBank” PC/104-compatible format. Sundance’s EMC2-family is a range of industrial-grade and deployment-ready PC/104 boards that feature either a Xilinx Zynq SoC or Xilinx Artix/Kintex FPGAs. The EMC2-KU35 is the latest member and has two banks of 16-bit DDR4 with close ...
