First-On, Last-Off Control PLD Solutions for Boards – Non-volatile, instant-on, lowest cost per I/O, feature-rich MachXO3 FPGA family offers a wide range of single, dual, quadruple and 8-socket CPU boards for server, storage, and networking systems. MachXO2/3 devices are the first devices to power-on the board and orchestrate the power delivery to all devices. These devices also integrate multiple control busses on the board such as SPI, I2C, SGPIO and reduce the number of pins needed on PCH and BMC.
Small Form-Factor, Low-Cost Options for Integrating I2C buffers, Glue Logic and Level Translators – MachXO2 products, available in TQFP and QFN packages, provide the lowest-cost-to-manufacture options for auto-configure HDD, SSD and NVMe drives in hot swappable appliance backplanes. These devices also reduce the number of pins on the connector, while simplifying the interface to monitor and control drives on the backplane. MachXO2 QFN packages integrate level translating I2C buffers between CPU and DDR memories, as well as GTL transceivers.
Reduce Telemetry and CPLD Cost, Routing Congestion and BOM – Integrate voltage, current and temperature monitoring and measurement functions of hardware management logic using L-ASC10. In addition, the real-time fault logging capability simplifies hardware debug. The L-ASC10 device reduces overall cost of the board by freeing up the number of I/Os on the main control PLD, which in turn are used for integrating multiple ICs, such as I2C buffers.
