Important Features
Low Power
Longer battery life is provided by devices that can be restarted from a complete power-off in less than 10 ms and resumed in less than 1 ms in sleep mode, which reduces standby power.
Instant On
High-density FPGAs, ASICs, ASSPs, and processors are just a few of the components that can be controlled by MAX 10 FPGA, which can be the first functional device on a system board.
Interfaces for External Memory
Soft intellectual property (IP) memory controllers enable MAX 10 FPGA to support DDR3 SDRAM and LPDDR2 interfaces, making them ideal for embedded, datapath, and video applications.
10 advantages of building your own unique MAX 10 FPGA controller
A ubiquitous single-chip solution is the MAX 10 FPGA. Even if you don’t know what you want when you ship it, you can make a chip that can perform nearly whatever you want it to by just providing 3.3V. This is an FPGA that you may build with now and in the future because of its quality and dependability, which make it appropriate for automotive use, and its expected life cycle through 2040.
Instant-On
In order to simplify the board design and conserve board space, MAX 10 FPGAs feature inbuilt flash for instantaneous self-configuration.
Single Supply
This is appropriate for supervisory operations that must be operational before all other system voltage rails have been activated, in addition to saving the cost and board space of additional regulators.
Soft Processors
With Nios V processors and Platform Designer software, you may design your own unique controller based on a RISC-V SoC.
Extra Storage
With the dual image capability that MAX 10 FPGAs offer, you can store a golden image for dependable updates. As an alternative, you can store processor program code or rare data logging on the additional flash.
Integrated Analog
The real world is analogue, but FPGAs are digital. Analogue sensors or power supply monitoring are excellent uses for the integrated analog-to-digital converter.
Flexibility in Frequency
The integrated PLLs allow you to drive those clocks out to other devices in your system and utilise nearly any reference frequency for the internal logic.
Number Crunching
You can use the provided multipliers to construct a variety of DSP operations, such as color-space converters, digital filters, and AI accelerators for TinyML.
Flexible I/O
Only single-ended signals at the same voltage level are supported by the majority of microcontrollers. With several banks that can interface at various voltages without the need for level shifters, MAX 10 FPGAs support a broad range of single-ended and differential I/O standards.
Options for Packages
MAX 10 FPGAs come in a variety of formats, ranging from small 3×3 mm2 chip-scale packages to BGAs with 500 I/O. If you would rather have a package with pins, you can still obtain devices in Quad-Flat Packs (QFP).
Free Tools
The best part is that Quartus Prime Lite, a free program, is compatible with MAX 10 FPGAs. Best-in-class design automation and smooth IP integration, including the Nios V RISC-V CPU and tools, are provided to developers by the Quartus FPGA software.
