AMD
FPGA portfolio expanded
AMD launches the 'Spartan UltraScale+' FPGA family to complement its portfolio of FPGAs and adaptive SoCs.
AMD 's new devices offer energy-efficient performance for a wide range of I/O-intensive applications at the edge. The FPGAs are optimized for the edge and offer a high number of I/Os and flexible interfaces that allow the FPGAs to be seamlessly integrated and efficiently connected to multiple devices or systems. According to the manufacturer, the family offers the industry's highest I/O to logic cell ratio in FPGAs based on 28nm and smaller process technology, with up to 572 I/Os and voltage support up to 3.3V, enabling any-to-any connectivity for edge sensing and control applications. The 16nm technology and support for a wide range of packages starting at 10x10mm² provide high I/O density in a small footprint. Thanks to 16nm FinFET technology and hardened connectivity, the FPGAs are estimated to offer up to 30% lower power consumption compared to the 28nm Artix 7 family. The FPGAs offer extensive security features: Support for post-quantum cryptography with NIST-approved algorithms provides advanced IP protection against emerging cyber-attacks and threats. A physical decryption feature provides each device with a unique fingerprint for added security. PPK/SPK key support helps manage obsolete or compromised security keys, while differential performance analysis protects against side-channel attacks. The devices feature a permanent tamper lock that provides further protection against misuse. Improved single-event upset performance enables fast and secure configuration with increased reliability for customers.
