Explore the MAX® 10 Family
Key Features
| Low Power | Devices offer longer battery life – resumption from full power-off in less than 10ms, while sleep mode offers standby power reduction and resumption in less than 1ms. |
| Instant On | MAX 10 FPGAs can be the first usable device on a system board to control the bring-up of other components, such as high-density FPGAs, ASICs, ASSPs, and processors. |
| External Memory Interfaces | MAX 10 FPGAs support DDR3 SDRAM and LPDDR2 interfaces through soft intellectual property (IP) memory controllers, optimal for video, datapath, and embedded applications. |
Benefits
Low Static Power
The MAX 10 FPGA core fabric architecture offers low static power by using the low static power architecture on a power-optimized, 55nm flash-enabled process technology.
Flexibility and Integration
Single device integrating non-volatile flash memory, programmable logic device (PLD), random access memory (RAM), digital signal processing (DSP), DDR3 external memory interface, analog-to-digital converters (ADC), phase-locked loops (PLLs), and various I/O standards in small packages from 3mm x 3mm.
Simple and Fast Configuration
The secure on-die flash memory enables device configuration in less than 10ms.
