Lattice introduces the Certus-NX FPGA optimized for automotive applications

     Lattice Semiconductor, a leading supplier of low-power programmable devices, continues to expand its growing automotive portfolio with the introduction of the new Certus™-NX FPGA family optimized for infotainment systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and safety applications. These new Certus-NX devices, based on Lattice's NexusTM platform, offer the highest I/O density, low power consumption, high performance, small size, high stability, instantaneous startup, and support for high-speed PCI Express (PCIe) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in addition to automotion-grade features.

     Jay Aggarwal, Director of product Marketing, Semiconductor Chip, said: "With the trend towards electrification, autonomous driving and interconnection of automotive systems, manufacturers are looking to provide drivers with the advanced features and user experiences they have long sought, which is also driving the demand for automotive semiconductors. "Our Certus-NX general purpose FPGA, with its industry-leading high performance and low power consumption, small size, high reliability, and support for mainstream I/O standards, is an excellent chip platform for the next generation of automotive applications that automakers want to offer their customers."

     K. Ganesh Rao, Head of FPGA Solutions Implementation at Tata Elxsi, said: "As more and more automotive systems go digital, modern cars have essentially become mobile data centres. Automotive developers need safe and reliable chip solutions with high-speed I/O performance to ensure mission-critical vehicle systems can perform functions immediately. The reliability, high performance and feature set provided by Lattice Certus-NX FPGas enable our future automotive applications."
