Flex Logix EFLX1K eFPGA Cores Enable Array-Efficient Reconfigurable Logic on 40nm to 180nm Nodes

eFPGA Technology Demonstrations at DAC

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 19, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —   Flex Logix® Technologies, Inc. the leading supplier of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, architecture and software, announced today a new EFLX® eFPGA core optimized for the needs of customers on 40nm to 180nm nodes.

"Applications on advanced process nodes such as 28nm and 16nm need large arrays from 10K to >200K LUTs," said Geoff Tate, CEO and cofounder of Flex Logix. "The EFLX4K Logic and DSP cores are a great fit for these process nodes and they can be implemented in any 40nm to 180nm in only 6-8 months."

At 40nm to 180nm nodes, customers are interested in reconfigurable logic but need smaller arrays and are very sensitive to area.

The EFLX1K Logic and DSP cores use 10-20% less array/LUT because the interconnect network in the cores implement fewer switch levels for less expandability than the EFLX4K.  At the same time, they allow arrays of at least 4x4 to be constructed which is sufficient capacity in the 40nm-180nm nodes. 

The EFLX1K Logic core has 368 inputs and 368 outputs with 900 LUT4 equivalent logic capacity.  The EFLX1K DSP core has the same number of inputs/outputs but replaces some of the LUTs with DSPs:  10 DSP MACs, pipeline in blocks of 5, with 650 LUT4 equivalent logic capacity. 

The EFLX1K Logic and DSP cores can be mixed interchangeably in arrays up to at least 4x4 in size.
