Overview
Lattice Certus-NX is the mid-range family of Lattice's Nexus platform, fabbed on 28 nm FD-SOI and offering roughly 39,000 logic cells. LFD2NX-40 is the largest device in the Certus-NX family.
The Nexus FD-SOI process is the differentiator: it gives the configuration memory a much lower soft-error rate than bulk CMOS SRAM FPGAs and keeps static power in the milliwatt class, which matters in always-on industrial and automotive nodes.
The device integrates a hardened PCIe Gen2 endpoint and general-purpose SERDES up to 1.5 Gbps, plus native MIPI D-PHY support — enough for sensor bridging and camera aggregation without an external bridge chip. AEC-Q100 qualified grades are offered for automotive designs.
Key Benefits
Ultra-low static power from FD-SOI, hardened PCIe Gen2 and 1.5 Gbps SERDES, native MIPI D-PHY for camera/sensor interfaces, and instant-on configuration with bitstream encryption and per-segment configuration lock.
Applications
Industrial motor and motion control, MIPI camera aggregation and vision front-ends, sensor bridging (LVDS / MIPI / sub-LVDS), PCIe add-in glue logic, automotive AEC-Q100 subsystems, and always-on power-sensitive edge nodes.
