integrated MCU.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;\">At yesterday&#8217;s Altera Innovators Day event (formely known as Intel FPGA Technology Day), Altera, newly launched as an independent subsidiary of Intel, announced the <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\">release of the Agilex 3 line<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;\"> of FPGAs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/file.flywing-tech.com\/res\/article\/2024101217070070269fdf59dffbb73482a673dcfa05ff352ac22.png\" alt=\"\" data-href=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Altera unveiled its new Agilex 3 FPGAs in conjunction with the latest release of its Quartus Prime Design Software and introduced 11 new Agilex 5 FPGA development kits and system-on-module (SoM) boards. The Agilex 3 series is designed to cater to mid-range applications where performance is essential, but cost and power consumption are paramount. The Quartus FPGA and system-on-chip (SoC) toolchain has been enhanced to support the latest devices, improving both usability and compile times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">In an interview with All About Circuits, Altera&#8217;s CEO Sandra Rivera provided additional insights into the new series, highlighting the importance of balancing performance with cost and power efficiency. She emphasized the role of the Agilex 3 FPGAs in enabling real-time processing for time-critical applications such as automotive and IoT devices, as well as the series&#8217; security enhancements and AI capabilities. Rivera also discussed the advancements in the Quartus Prime Software, noting the 29% faster compile times and the support for more FPGAs, which significantly accelerate the development process and time-to-market for developers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Agilex 3 FPGA Line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Agilex 3 series from Altera boasts an on-chip dual-core Arm Cortex A55 hard processor, seamlessly integrating AI capabilities into the FPGA fabric. This innovative design enables real-time processing for time-critical applications such as automotive systems and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The series also includes robust security features that enhance its predecessors, the Cyclone V chips, with bitstream encryption, authentication, and physical anti-tamper detection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Altera&#8217;s CEO Sandra Rivera highlighted the series&#8217; suitability for a wide range of applications, including industrial manufacturing, surveillance, medical devices, test and measurement equipment, and edge computing solutions. She emphasized the need for substantial compute power within the constraints of a smaller power footprint, a requirement that is not as critical in large data centers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Key features of the Agilex 3 FPGA series include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">25K\u2013135K logic elements, providing a scalable solution for various applications.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">1.9X FPGA fabric performance with Hyperflex architecture, ensuring efficient routing and increased bandwidth.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">DSP and Tensor blocks within the FPGA fabric, offering AI-optimized processing for tasks such as vision processing and image recognition.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">PCIe 3.0 support, enabling high-speed data transfer and connectivity.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">LPDDR4 memory interface, providing fast and reliable memory access.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">12.5 Gbps transceivers, facilitating rapid communication and data exchange.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">38% lower power consumption compared to competing FPGAs, making the Agilex 3 series an energy-efficient choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">These features make the Agilex 3 FPGAs ideal for applications requiring high performance, low power consumption, and cost-effectiveness. By meeting the functionality, cost, and power requirements of demanding applications like vision processing, image recognition, and factory automation, Altera&#8217;s new series enhances maintainability and significantly accelerates time to market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>FPGA Hyperflex Architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Altera&#8217;s Hyperflex architecture, integrated into the Agilex 3 chips, delivers a significant performance boost, nearly doubling the speed of the previous generation. This innovative &#8220;register everywhere&#8221; architecture enhances routing efficiency by embedding bypassable hyper-registers throughout the device core. This design allows signals to be routed directly through the register or to bypass it and go straight to the multiplexor, reducing propagation steps and increasing both bandwidth and clock speeds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">When paired with multiple high-speed transceivers, the Agilex 3 series achieves operational speeds of up to 12.5 Gbps and supports LPDDR4 memory, providing rapid data transfer and processing capabilities. Altera claims that the Hyperflex-equipped Agilex 3 offers 1.9 times higher performance compared to the Cyclone V, making it a compelling option for applications requiring enhanced speed and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Design Suite Optimized for Time to Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Altera has optimized the Quartus Prime Software version 24.3 design suite for enhanced ease of use and solid performance. The updates to Quartus provide a comprehensive full-stack solution for FPGA development, including support for both soft and hard processor cores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Altera&#8217;s CEO Sandra Rivera emphasized the design suite&#8217;s role in helping developers bring their applications and use cases to life quickly and efficiently, thereby accelerating time to market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The software now boasts 29% faster compile times, support for a broader range of FPGAs, and new OS and RTOS support for the Agilex 5 hard processors subsystem. These improvements significantly enhance development efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Rivera highlighted the impact of the faster compile times, noting that developers can now iterate more rapidly on their algorithms, applications, or designs. &#8220;If you can reduce a three-hour compile time to two hours, you can fit in more software runs per day, which directly accelerates your time to market,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>The 3 Series&#8217; Place in the Agilex Family<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 14px;\">The Agilex 3 series complements the broader Agilex lineup as a cost and power-optimized FPGA solution. While the Agilex 7 and 9 series are positioned as the top performers, and the Agilex 5 series focuses on balancing performance with lower power consumption, the Agilex 3 series caters to applications with stringent low-cost and low-power requirements. Additionally, the Agilex 3 series introduces AI functionality to the cost-optimized segment of Altera&#8217;s FPGA offerings, featuring tensor computing blocks and AI-optimized DSP sections. This ensures that even budget-conscious projects can benefit from advanced AI capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/file.flywing-tech.com\/res\/article\/202410121713401340d1f5bc6054e58ee72040e7697b0fce26ba00b.png\" alt=\"\" data-href=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Altera Agilex 3 series compared to other Agilex FPGAs.
