Lattice Semi Tunes its FPGA For Auto Apps
The chipmaker's early investment in edge processing hastened its foray into the auto sector with a new version of its low-power chip.

The proliferation of auto electronics is creating more edge processing as well as interconnect and bridging opportunities for chip makers able to deliver low-power, secure and reliable platforms with sufficient thermal management. That proliferation is also shortening product design and deployment cycles as car manufacturers, especially EV makers, add processors for ADAS, infotainment and other car systems.
The booming auto and industrial electronics sectors are prompting chip makers to reorient their designs to meet growing demand. Among them is Lattice Semiconductor, which this week unveiled the latest version of its FPGA family primarily targeting automotive applications.
The Certus-NX FPGA family is aimed at low-power, secure automotive electronics applications designed to extend battery life in EVs while addressing pressing thermal management issues that affect processing performance and reliability.
The latest Nexus iteration is based on FD-SOI process technology, enabling the release of "new products at a faster cadence," said JuJu Joyce, Lattice Semiconductor's product marketing manager. Among other enhancements, the FPGA architecture accounts for a 100-fold decrease in soft-error rates, Joyce asserted.
