Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA
Architecture
The logic and routing core fabric sea of gates is surrounded on each side by I/O elements, with a phase-locked loop (PLLs) in each corner. Embedded memory blocks (M9K) and 18 x 18 bit multipliers blocks are arranged in vertical columns.
The architecture also includes highly efficient interconnect and low-skew clock networks, providing connectivity between logic structures for clock and data signal.
Single Event Upset (SEU)
Configuration error detection is supported in all Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP devices. User mode error detection is only supported in devices with 1.2-V core voltage. Dedicated circuitry built into Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP devices consists of a CRC error detection feature that can optionally check for a single-event upset (SEU) continuously and automatically.
In critical applications used in the fields of avionics, telecommunications, system control, medical, and military applications, it is important to be able to:
- Confirm the accuracy of the configuration data stored in an FPGA device.
- Alert the system to an occurrence of a configuration error.
Nios® II Processor
Nios® II processor, the world's most versatile, royalty-free processor according to Gartner Research is the most widely used soft processor in the FPGA industry. The Nios II processor delivers unprecedented flexibility for your cost-sensitive, real-time, safety-critical (DO-254), and ASIC-optimized applications processing needs.
The Nios II processor family consists of two configurable 32 bit Harvard architecture cores:
- Fast (/f core): Six-stage pipeline optimized for highest performance, optional memory management unit (MMU), or memory protection unit (MPU).
- Economy (/e core): Optimized for smallest size, and available at no cost (no license required).
Need to boost performance? No problem. Hardware acceleration is as easy as using an FPGA's programmable logic to offload and accelerate tasks that are typically implemented in an application software. Find out more on the Nios® II Processor web page.
