Altera unveiled its family of ARM-based SoC FPGAs, integrating 28 nm Cyclone V and Arria V FPGA fabric, a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor, error correcting code (ECC) protected memory controllers, peripherals and high-bandwidth interconnect into a single chip.
These SoC FPGAs inherit ARM’s rich ecosystem of software development tools, debuggers, operating systems, middleware and applications. Users can leverage Altera’s SoC FPGA development flow to quickly create customised ARM-based systems that reduce embedded system board size, power and cost, while boosting performance in a variety of industries, including automotive, industrial, video surveillance, wireless infrastructure, computer and storage.
The Cyclone V and Arria V SoC FPGAs feature a processor system with a dual-core 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor, NEON media processing engine, single/double-precision floating point unit, L1 and L2 caches, ECC-protected memory controllers, ECC-protected scratchpad memory and a wide range of commonly used peripherals.
The processor system can deliver 4000 DMIPS peak performance for less than 1,8 Watts. The processor system and FPGA fabric are powered independently and can be configured and booted in any order. Once in operation, the FPGA portion can be powered down as needed to conserve system power.
The ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor system and FPGA are interconnected by high-throughput data paths, providing over 125 Gbps peak bandwidth with integrated data coherency. This level of performance is not possible in two-chip solutions. An integrated single-chip SoC FPGA allows board designers to eliminate the external I/O paths between a processor and an FPGA, providing significant system power savings.
