AMD has introduced the Kintex UltraScale+ Gen 2 FPGA family with PCIe Gen4 to support 4K AV-over-IP operation for 4K/8K media operations. The XC2KU040P and XC2KU050P FPGAs are likely to have six 32-bit hard LPDDR memory controllers, operating at 4,266Mbps. The FPGAs will also have high-speed transceivers and frame-accurate transport for professional broadcast and remote production applications. They will be ...
Fabless French FPGA company, NanoXplore has announced that its NG-Ultra FPGA, which is based on STMicroelectronics’ 28nm FD-SOI digital technology, is qualified for the ESCC 9030 for space missions. The radiation-hardened SoC FPGA combines a multi-core processor with programmable hardware on a single chip. It has been designed for low- and medium-earth orbit constellations and will be used in satellite ...
Last year, the ecsn (Electronic Components Supply Network), the body which represents authorised distributors in the UK and Eire, reported that its members were entering 2025 with “extreme caution”. Customer demand was difficult to judge amid trade issues and high customer in-house inventory levels. Its forecast for 2026 is in a similar vein as global trade issues, such as trade ...
Arrow Electronics is offering a starter kit development board for Altera Agilex 5 FPGAs. Called AXE5000, it is built around a A5EC008BM16AE6S, an IC with 85,196 logic elements and, for migration from Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGAs, a 28,880 LUT ‘adaptive logic module’. CPUs include a 1.4GHz dual core Arm Cortex-A76, and a dual core 1.25GHz Cortex-A55. DSP performance ...
EnSilica, the mixed-signal ASIC specialist , has developed a combined hardware IP block supporting the full CRYSTALS post-quantum cryptography (PQC) suite, saving silicon area, power and cost. The licensable eSi-CRYSTALS PQC accelerator runs Dilithium (FIPS-204), Kyber (FIPS-203) and SHA-3 (FIPS-202) algorithms, which previously required three separate IP blocks. In August 2024, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ...
At Hardware Pioneers Max 2025 we caught up with Dunstan Power, Director and Co-Founder of ByteSnap, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. He explains how industrial manufacturers can navigate today’s technical challenges, including implementing FPGA solutions, modernising systems, extending product lifecycles, and managing obsolescence without costly redesigns. He also shares insights from his new industry report on ...
Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one device”, according to the company. TPLD801, with pale blue digital blocks and mixed-signal blocs in dark blue InterConnect Studio is the programming tool for design, simulation and configuration “without ...
Embedded systems, servers, I/O modules and sensors by Sfera Labs, are now available from DigiKey, following a distribution agreement between the two companies. The embedded systems and edge computing products support Raspberry Pi and Arduino and are available via DigiKey’s online store. Products available include Strato Pi servers which enhance Raspberry Pi computers and which are used in residential and ...
AMD is aiming at automotive edge sensor fusion, for the likes of lidar, radar and 3D surround cameras, with a pair of FPGAs it has just started shipping. XA AU10P and XA AU15P are automotive-qualified, certified for functional safety up to ASIL-B, intended to be used in driver assistance systems, and come with the the company’s Artix UltraScale+ branding. The ...
Imagination Technologies is aiming at phone-based gaming with scalable GPU intellectual property that can implement hardware ray-tracing. Called IMG DXT, and part of a planned ‘D-Series’ family, the GPUs “offers mobile device manufacturers the chance to integrate ray tracing into their SoCs, to match their design goals from premium to mainstream devices”, according to the company. The GPU scales from ...
