Achronix Semiconductor Corporation

For today’s most demanding applications, system architects and designers choose Speedster^®, the world’s fastest Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Achronix Speedster FPGAs are fully reprogrammable, yet still capable of operating at up to 1.5 GHz system performance. Speedster devices are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Networking
• Telecommunications
• Encryption
• High-performance computing
• Video and imaging
• Digital signal processing
• Industrial
• Test and measurement
• Military and aerospace

The reprogrammable fabric of each Speedster FPGA device is constructed using high-performance building blocks:

• Reconfigurable Logic Blocks (each configurable either as 8 4-input LUTs, or as a 128-bit RAM)
• Multiplier Blocks (each configurable as either a single 18x18)
• Block RAMs (18k bits each)
• Programmable interconnect links

Each of these building blocks operates at 1.5 GHz, resulting in a balanced high-performance reprogrammable design platform.

To complement the 1.5 GHz logic fabric, Speedster FPGAs offer state-of-the-art, flexible I/O capabilities:

• Up to 40 lanes of SerDes (Up to 10.3 Gbps per lane)
• Up to 850 reconfigurable I/Os (up to 1066 Mbps each)

Thus, the Speedster family’s I/O bandwidth easily matches the internal logic performance. The combination of I/Os, SerDes , memory, and logic performance makes Speedster devices suitable for numerous high-bandwidth protocols such as PCI Express, CEI-6G, 10 Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100 Gbps Ethernet, etc.
