LFE2-50E-5FN484I

Embedded - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array)

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a highly advanced integrated circuit (IC) which combines the flexibility, scalability and power of a general-purpose processor with the high-performance and low-energy consumption of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). FPGA is a type of integrated circuit that can be ‘field’ programmed after fabrication. An experienced FPGA designer can design an FPGA with as much control and optimized as an ASIC.

LFE2-50E-5FN484I, a part of the Altera family of FPGAs, is a low-cost, single slot FPGA board, and offers a power range from 50 to 548 MHz. It is specifically designed for use in embedded applications and is ideal for auto-programmable applications due to its low power consumption, flexibility and high reliability.

The Intel LFE2-50E-5FN484I board includes an integrated Intel Cyclone V FPGA for high-performance, reliable computing. This FPGA provides advanced features such as an on-board microprocessor, an Ethernet port, external memory, and integrated memory controllers. The device also supports multiple advanced digital interfaces, including USB 3.0, SPI, I2C, JTAG, and Ethernet.

The board supports several development tools, including Simulink and Quartus II design suite tools, making it possible to design and develop designs quickly. It also supports OpenCL and SystemVerilog, enabling the developers to create visually appealing applications. Thanks to its flexibility and programmability, it is easy to use, debug and integrate other components on the board. Alterea’s development tools also enable the user to customize and configure the FPGA easily.

The device has two power options, one for the FPGA itself and one for the associated peripherals. It also has larger memory resources, enabling faster execution of programs and providing enhanced features such as multiple design languages and parallel processing. The device is optimized for low latency input-output and its low power consumption makes it suitable for embedded applications.

The device provides a wide range of features and functionality that enable efficient and reliable embedded applications. Its low cost and high performance make it suitable for many embedded applications. In addition, its flexible design makes it very suitable for rapid prototyping and development.
