Reduced pin count
Efinix Titanium Ti180 FPGAs Available with LPDDR4x Memory
Efinix announced the availability of its Titanium Ti180J484D1 FPGAs with 2 Gb of embedded LPDDR4x memory.
Embedding high-speed memory in the same package as the FPGA reduces the pin count that would otherwise be needed for an external memory interface and greatly reduces PCB design complexity, thereby speeding time to market and reducing design risk. »Efinix FPGAs and tools are characterized by a simplified design philosophy. This new package is a great example of our ability to increase productivity for our customers and partners,« said Efinix Co-Founder, CEO, and President Sammy Cheung. »The energy efficiency and reduced system complexity afforded by this highly integrated solution will speed time to market across a broad spectrum of applications.« Removing the requirement for an external memory interface means that more package pins are available for user I/O functions. The Ti180J484D1 has 190 high-speed I/O pins compared to 116 in the standard Ti180J484 package. Additionally, the smaller 0.65 mm ball pitch reduces the overall package size to just 15 mm by 15 mm, making this compact and versatile FPGA a perfect solution for space-constrained applications requiring high memory bandwidth. Applications include the latest generation high-performance machine vision and machine learning systems that require frame buffers and high-speed access to memory for the constantly evolving AI field. »The reduced power consumption resulting from the tightly coupled LPDDR4x memory along with the small physical size will be a game changer for space and power constrained applications,« said Mark Oliver, Efinix VP of Marketing.
