FPGA based low-power automotive design based on non-volatile technology

Overview

This article refers to the address: http://

Programmable logic devices have increasingly been used in automotive electronics applications to replace ASIC and ASSP devices. Actel FPGAs are based on non-volatile technology (flash and anti-fuse) and are less prone to neutron-induced firmware errors, making them the only FPGA technology for critical automotive applications such as powertrains and safety devices. Please refer to the product selection guide for a list of Actel devices for various automotive electronics solutions.

Actel is able to provide reliable solutions for the most demanding automotive electronics applications.


With the traditional strengths and experience of developing powerful military and aerospace FPGAs, Aite has proven that our technology has unique advantages in critical applications. Actel FPGA devices not only make products work smoothly, they also ensure safe operation. As a result, automotive suppliers can rely on Actel FPGAs—the only FPGA devices with the technology to create reliable automotive subsystems.

Features and advantages

Low power consumption

Actel's low-power automotive ProASIC3 flash FPGAs significantly reduce self-heating issues, operate at higher temperatures, have more design margins, and ultimately extend product life expectancy. More importantly, Aite offers the industry's lowest power automotive grade FPGA devices.

Certification

Actel FPGAs address a wide range of issues related to automotive electronics standards certification, including:

AEC-Q100 Automotive Standard Certification - Actel offers the only FPGA device certified to the Grade 1 AEC-Q100 automotive standard, supporting junction temperatures up to 135°C and ensuring the highest quality automotive LC solutions.

Long-term operational record — Unlike ASSP devices, Actel FPGAs have a long life cycle, and Aite's industry-leading record of product availability makes Actel FPGAs an ideal solution for information communication applications. If you do not want to receive a device shutdown notification before the next-generation dashboard infotainment system is put into production, you should choose an FPGA device with automotive standard certification. This not only ensures the safety of the supply, but also ensures that the components meet the highest quality requirements of today's automotive electronics systems.

Value for money – Actel's non-volatile FPGAs, like ASICs, can significantly reduce bill of materials (BOM) costs and save costs compared to other FPGA technologies. As a result, Actel FPGA devices simplify supply chain and standards certification and reduce costs over the life of the product.

One component can be used for multiple projects—actel FPGA devices can be configured for multiple designs and are better than ASICs. Our customers report that simplified device standard certification can save costs and reduce individual device costs through bulk purchase pricing.

reliability

Actel FPGA devices are less prone to neutron-induced firmware errors, and there is no risk of configuration memory flapping common to SRAM FPGAs, fully meeting the needs of powertrain and safety critical systems.

Firmware errors caused by neutrons are a major quality issue, and on SRAM FPGA devices, this error can reach thousands of FITs (Failures In Time, the number of errors in 1 billion hours). Actel non-volatile FPGAs do not suffer from this type of failure.

Firmware errors caused by neutrons can cause logic errors in SRAM FPGA devices, and automakers are increasingly concerned about liability issues caused by application firmware errors. SRAM FPGA firmware errors are not only preventable, but they are difficult to detect even if an error occurs.

Actel FPGAs have an exceptional temperature range with junction temperatures up to 150°C (anti-fuse technology) and 135°C (ProASIC3 T-Grade devices).

Non-volatile FPGAs typically consume less power than other SRAM FPGA devices. In high-reliability applications, high power consumption and high heat are closely related to the mean time before failure (MTBF) of the device.

Meet industry standards

Support for Production Component Approval Process (PPAP) — Actel now offers industry-standard PPAP (Production Parts Approval Process) documentation for ProASIC3, ProASICPLUS, and eX devices.

TS16949 — Actel automotive devices are TS16949 certified to meet stringent quality management control standards, enabling continuous improvement, preventing defects and reducing supply chain changes and waste.
