Lattice Semiconductor’s Nexus 2 FPGA platform has been shortlisted for the Electronics Excellence Awards under the Power Product category.
Small FPGAs are used across a wide range of devices, applications, and industries because they reliably perform critical functions that are essential to the speedy operation of many different types of intelligent systems. Equally important, because of their programmable nature, they can be easily customised for the specific requirements of different types of devices.
Lattice’s strong leadership in the small FPGA market is now further strengthened with the introduction of the Lattice Nexus 2 platform. Nexus 2 is purpose-built to accelerate product development and meet the rising demands of Edge AI applications.
Nexus 2 is born out of customer demand with essential features defined by close collaboration with 11,000+ customers worldwide. Customers said they needed devices with class-leading capabilities to enhance efficiency, data integrity, reliability, and system performance, while also providing greater flexibility for various applications. This required extensive collaboration and development to ensure the platform met these high standards. Additionally, the surge in data from billions of connected devices, sensors, and systems has driven the need for robust security measures and advanced connectivity. Lattice built the Nexus 2 platform to support AI at the Edge, sensor to Cloud connectivity, and resilient security.
Compared to similar class competitive devices, Lattice Nexus 2 delivers up to 3x lower power, up to 3.2x faster MIPI speed, and up to 10x faster configuration time, all at up to 5x smaller size. The platform also offers advanced connectivity features including multi-protocol 16G SERDES with PCIe Gen 4 controller, high performance I/O, high speed LPDDR4 memory interface support, and industry-leading MIPI D & C-PHY up to 7.89Gbps. In addition, Lattice Nexus 2 brings industry-leading security features with crypto agility, post-quantum readiness, and anti-temper protection.
Through this powerful combination, Lattice Nexus 2 enables customers with the optimal devices, tools, and solutions to design groundbreaking AI applications. Additionally, by leveraging Lattice’s unique platform-based design approach, Nexus 2 is architected for scalability, enabling the rapid development of multiple new device families based on the new platform, starting with the Lattice Certus-N2 general purpose FPGA family. Sampling today, Certus-N2 FPGAs address a wide range of customer applications, providing them more ways than ever to achieve design goals.
