FD-SOI

Features of FD-SOI

・28nm process

・Overwhelmingly low power consumption per operating frequency (up to 1/4 power consumption compared to devices of the same scale band and operating frequency)

- More than 100 times more soft-error resistance than conventional products

PCI Express

Certus-NX has a built-in PCI-Express (Gen1, Ge2) hard block, making it possible to support interfaces in a wider range of fields than ever before.

Supports MIPI I/F

Realization of MIPII/F with programmable I/O and logic

・Supports data rate of 1.5Gbps per lane

・When configured with CLK 1lane and Data 4lane, one Soft MIPI D-PHY block supports data rates up to 6.0Gbps

・Supports both MIPI CSI-2 and MIPI-DSI

Enables a wide range of I/F bridges on the camera interface side and display interface side.

LRAM

Certus-NX has a large memory block called LRAM separate from EBR. With a maximum capacity of 2560 kbit, it is possible to handle cases where a certain amount of memory capacity is required, such as configuring a line buffer without using an external memory.

ADC

It has 2 channels of 1 MSPS, 12-bit SAR ADC. This allows analog signal processing from sensors, monitoring of supply voltages, etc.

Other components

Programmable I/O

・It is possible to support various I/F such as MIPI, LVDS (Rx, Tx), Sub-LVDS (Rx), HiSPI (Rx), SLVS200 (Rx, Tx), LVCMOS, etc.

・Supports data rates up to 1.5Gbps/lane when using differential I/F

I2C, SPI hard block

・Built-in I2C and SPI hard blocks. Can be configured via I2C, SPI

・Configurable from the host CPU and SoC using these hard blocks without external FLASH (several tens of ms with Quad SPI)

・Quad SPI is also supported, enabling configuration in the order of tens of milliseconds.

DSP block

・Built-in up to 56 18 X 18 Multipliers

DRAM interface

・Compatible with DRAM I/F (supports DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, up to 1066 Mbps)
