FPGA furnishes built-in USB interface
Lattice Semiconductor claims that its CrossLinkU-NX FPGA is the first in its class to integrate hardened USB device functionality. Aimed at AI and embedded vision applications, the FPGA packs a USB controller and physical layer (PHY) capable of USB 2.0 transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and USB 3.2 transfer rates up to 5 Gbps.
CrossLinkU-NX not only reduces the total cost of ownership and area needed for discrete PHY components, but also the FPGA fabric resources required for a USB device controller. Additionally, it provides a low-power standby mode with an always-on block to extend battery life and simplify thermal management. Instant-on configuration enables I/O to be configured in 3 ms and the device in 8 ms. Current consumption is less than 70 µA under typical standby mode.
Offered in commercial and industrial temperature grades, the CrossLinkU-NX FPGA has 33k logic cells and 64 18×18 multipliers. A Lattice Propel template, host driver, and example host utilities for USB to I/O bridging and MIPI CSI-2 to USB bridging applications help accelerate USB device implementation with the FPGA.
CrossLinkU-NX FPGAs are sampling now and are supported by Lattice Radiant design software.
