Cyclone 10 GX Device Definition
Cyclone® 10 GX devices deliver:
- Higher performance than the previous generation of low-cost FPGAs.
- Power efficiency attained through a comprehensive set of power-saving technologies.
- 10 Gbps transceivers at as low as 168 mW
- 6 Gbps transceivers at as low as 117 mW
- 125 Mbps to 10.3125 Mpbs transceiver speeds for chip-to-chip and chip-to-module applications
Note: Data rates below 1 Gbps are achieved through over sampling.
The Cyclone® 10 GX devices are ideal for high performance, power-sensitive applications in diverse markets such as:
- Machine vision
- Robotics
- Programmable logic controller and drivers
- Infotainment
- Medical
- Military
Cyclone® 10 GX GX FPGA features 10.3125 Gbps transceivers for short reach applications with data rates for chip-to-chip and chip-to-module applications—from 125 Mbps up to 10.3125 Gbps according to application.
The combination of 20-nm process technology and architectural advances provide the following benefits:
- Significant reduction in die area and power consumption.
- Up to 12-channels of transceiver I/O density with higher signal-integrity conditioning capability than the previous generation of low-cost FPGA.
- All channels feature continuous data rate support up to the maximum rated speed.
The Cyclone® 10 GX family device architecture supports:
- Two RAM block types:
- M20K memory blocks—dedicated memory blocks. M20K blocks are ideal for large memory arrays with a large number of independent ports.
- MLABs—enhanced memory blocks, each configured from 10 ALMS. MLABs are ideal for wide and shallow memory arrays.
- Support for remote configuration updates.
- Embedded variable-precision DSP blocks that enable precision signal processing from 18x9 to 54x54, as well as floating point arithmetic with a wide variety of modes.
- I/Os have dedicated circuitry to assist with the implementation of high-speed interfaces to external memory devices such as DDR3 and LPDDR3.
- Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) provide enhanced 8-input ALM with four registers and hierarchical core clocking architecture.
- PCI Express® Gen2 (x1, x2, or x4)
- PCI Express® Gen1 (x1, x2, or x4)
- 10 Gbps transceivers at as low as 168 mW
- 6 Gbps transceivers at as low as 117 mW
