Product Summary
The MachXO5-NX TDQ from Lattice Semiconductor is a secure control FPGA that combines low power consumption with high security performance.
A particularly noteworthy feature is that it is an FPGA that supports post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms.
With the advancement of quantum computers, it has been pointed out that conventional encryption methods may no longer be secure in the future. To address such environmental changes, MachXO5-NX TDQ is designed with a strong emphasis on "quantum resistance."
Another key feature of the MachXO5-NX TDQ is that it's an FPGA with built-in Flash memory for configuration.
When considering the security chain on a circuit board, it is crucial to determine where to place the Root of Trust. The MachXO5-NX TDQ, by using the PQC algorithm, can be safely and securely booted independently for the future.
Therefore, its ability to function as a hardware Root of Trust (RoT) is a major advantage.
1. Hardware and functional blocks included
The MachXO5-NX TDQ has built-in Flash memory for multi-boot configuration and features three configuration areas.
This allows for the storage of multiple configuration data sets, resulting in a device that supports Dual-Boot and Multi-Boot on a single chip.
2. The PQC algorithm can be implemented.
The most notable feature of MachXO5-NX TDQ is its support for CNSA 2.0 and NIST-compliant PQC algorithms. The supported PQC algorithms are listed below.
ー LMS / XMSS
ー ML-DSA
ー ML-KEM
This enables high security against attacks using quantum computers. Furthermore, because it can be used in conjunction with conventional encryption, it is also suitable for hybrid encryption systems during the transition period.
3. Crypto-Agility
The MachXO5-NX TDQ has the following features to support future cryptographic standards:
- Algorithm updates in the field
- Preventing rollback
- Coexistence of PQC and conventional cryptography
This allows for flexible adaptation to standard updates and evolving threats, even in equipment intended for long-term operation.
4. Hardware Root of Trust
The MachXO5-NX TDQ includes the following features to provide device-level security:
- Single-chip secure boot
- Device-specific ID
- Bitstream encryption and authentication
— Interface (SPI, I2C, JTAG) lock
This provides a highly reliable security foundation throughout the entire process, from device startup to operation.
Package lineup
Summary
The MachXO5-NX TDQ can be described as a "next-generation security platform" that goes beyond the limitations of conventional FPGAs.
