Embedded FPGA – The Ultimate Accelerator– Kent Orthner,Systems ArchitectAn embedded FPGA (eFPGA) is an IP core that you integrate into your ASIC or SoC to get the benefits of programmable logic without the cost, but with better latency, throughput, and power characteristics. With an eFPGA, you define the quantity of look-up-tables (LUTs), registers, embedded memory, and DSP blocks. You can also control the aspect ratio, number of I/O ports, making tradeoffs between power and performance. Achronix delivers a GDS II representation of the Speedcore IP that you can integrate directly into your SoC or ASIC. We also provide you with a custom, full-featured version of our ACE design tools, that you can use to design, verify and program the functionality of the Speedcore eFPGA. |

Configuring Your Speedcore eFPGA, Part 2: Configuration Time– Volkan Oktem,Sr. Director of ApplicationAs discussed in part 1 of this blog post, each instance of an Achronix Speedcore eFPGA in your ASIC or SoC design must be configured after the system powers up because Speedcore eFPGAs employ nonvolatile SRAM technology to store its configuration bits. The time required to program a bitstream into a Speedcore eFPGA depends on the configuration mode being used, the data width, clock frequency, and of course, the size of the configuration bitstream. |

Configuring your Speedcore eFPGA, Part 1: Configuration Interfaces– Volkan Oktem,Sr. Director of ApplicationEach instance of an Achronix Speedcore eFPGA in your ASIC or SoC design must be configured after the system powers up because Speedcore eFPGAs employ nonvolatile SRAM technology to store the eFPGA’s configuration bits. Each Speedcore instance contains its own FPGA configuration unit (FCU) that initializes, configures, and manages the Speedcore eFPGA’s core logic array. For example, if you instantiate three Speedcore eFPGAs in your ASIC/SoC design, there will be three FCUs on the chip. |
