AMD has recently introduced the Spartan UltraScale+ FPGA family, the latest addition to its Cost-Optimised FPGAs and adaptive SoCs lineup. This new family boasts impressive features, including up to 572 I/Os and voltage support up to 3.3V, making it ideal for edge sensing and control applications that require versatile connectivity.

The 16nm fabric and support for various packaging options, starting as small as 10x10mm, contribute to the high I/O density in an ultra-compact footprint that the Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs offer. This design choice aims to provide a balance between performance and space efficiency, catering to a wide range of application needs.

One of the standout features of the Spartan UltraScale+ family is its estimated 30% reduction in power consumption compared to the 28nm Artix 7 family. This power efficiency is achieved through the utilization of 16nm FinFET technology and hardened connectivity, ensuring optimal performance while keeping energy consumption in check.

Moreover, these FPGAs are equipped with a hardened LPDDR5 memory controller and PCIe Gen4 x8 support, setting them apart as the first AMD UltraScale+ FPGAs to offer such capabilities. This not only enhances power efficiency but also future-proofs the devices, providing customers with advanced features for upcoming technological demands.

In terms of security, the Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs come with robust features to safeguard against cyber threats. Support for Post-Quantum Cryptography with NIST-approved algorithms ensures state-of-the-art IP protection, while a physical unclonable function assigns a unique fingerprint to each device for added security.
