General Description
Based on a 0.22 µm CMOS process technology, the eX family of FPGAs is a low-cost solution for low-power, high-performance designs. With the automotive temperature grade support (–40ºC to 125ºC), the eX devices can address many in-cabin telematics and automobile interconnect applications. The low-power attributes inherent in antifuse technology make the eX devices ideal for designers who are looking to integrate low-density, power-sensitive automotive applications into a programmable logic solution, enabling quick timeto-market.
