Flex Logix at the 2024 Design Automation Conference

The rapid technological evolution and soaring mask set costs have created numerous challenges for designers today. Protocols, algorithms, and cryptography are all advancing at a blistering pace, leaving designers struggling to keep up. While fab suppliers are enhancing performance and reducing power consumption, this progress comes at a price – limiting the number of affordable mask iterations for manufacturers. Flex Logix provides a compelling solution, offering hardware acceleration and reconfigurability that can save designers time and money, arriving at the perfect moment.

Flex Logix’s embedded FPGA IP, EFLX, is highly optimized for SoC and ASIC implementation, providing the performance and functionality of traditional off-the-shelf FPGAs. The scalable EFLX IP ranges from 200 to over 1 million logic cells, enabling IC designers the flexibility to adapt to evolving interfaces, protocols, and algorithms. Furthermore, production products can use this IP to repair bug fixes, provide lasting security, and meet unique regional requirements without costly design respin. Adding eFPGA IP offers additional value by enabling different functions at various stages of the product lifecycle. During IC bring-up, the IP can facilitate built-in self-testing and debugging. In production, the IP can multitask as a cryptographic controller, algorithm accelerator, interface expander, or other desired function.

Flex Logix offers signal processing IP, InferX, which can dramatically accelerate DSP and AI algorithms. Many designers use FPGAs for signal processing due to their abundance of multipliers and localized memory. Flex Logix takes this a step further by enabling advanced mathematical functions like matrix inversions, filters, and transforms in InferX. This IP can achieve exceptional performance at incredibly low power and area. Its scalable AI inference is highly efficient, delivering much higher inference throughput per square millimeter and per watt. Interested parties can visit Flex Logix’s booth to see a live demo of this innovative technology.

We are also thrilled to launch our new eXpreso FPGA Compiler – a powerful upgrade to our EC1 compiler. This cutting-edge tool boosts designer productivity with up to 10x faster compilation, 50% better performance, and 2x logic area reduction. We will also be demonstrating this at our booth, stop by to see how efficiently this tool can implement complex algorithms.

Flex Logix is a leading provider of reconfigurable computing technologies, including its innovative eFPGA and AI Inference solutions for semiconductor and systems companies. Flex Logix’s EFLX eFPGA enables FPGA users to seamlessly integrate the FPGA into their companion SoCs, resulting in a 5-10x reduction in the cost and power of the FPGA while increasing compute density – a critical advantage for applications in communications, networking, data centers, microcontrollers, and more. Flex Logix’s IP integrates seamlessly into any SoC or ASIC, and with over 100 US patents and applications, it offers top-tier power, performance, and area (PPA) metrics, compatible with cutting-edge nodes like Intel 18A, TSMC 7nm, and 5nm. The scalability of Flex Logix’s eFPGA IP empowers users to optimize their resources for enhanced flexibility.
