The 28nm device feature tin-lead (SnPb) solder balls using a radiation-tolerant, fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) manufacturing process. This small footprint, low-power device, has dedicated SERDES lanes supporting PCI express, 1.5 Gbps differential I/O and 192 I/O, including 118 wide range up to 3.3V. This general-purpose FPGA has a wide range of applications including data translation, edge processing, I/O extension, telemetry gathering using the two built-in ADCs and analog comparators, power control, motor control and many more.\n\nFrontgrade’s fault-tolerant Gaisler-library (GRLIB) will complement Lattice’s Propel library and Radiant debug design to offer an easy, intuitive and versatile design experience. The GRLIB suite of IPs will be available at the end of Q3 2023.\n\nContinuing to stay at the center of technology, Frontgrade is currentl...
