Gowin Semiconductor Corp. launched a field programmable gate array (FPGA) targeted at use cases like 4K video transfer in consumer electronics and automotive sectors.

Announced at this week’s Sensors Converge 2024 trade show, the GW5AT-15 FPGA is the latest device in Gowin’s Arora-V series that combines SerDes transceivers with high-speed memory and 15,120 logic elements.

Additional features of the FPGA include:

  • Three-lane MIPI C-PHY operating at up to 5.75 Gbps/lane
  • Four-lane PCIe 3.0
  • Four-lane MIPI D-PHY operating at up to 2.5 Gbps/lane
  • USB Type-C support
  • On-chip USB 3.x
  • USB 2.x PHYs
  • 118 kb of shadow SRAM
  • 630 kb of block SRAM (BSRAM) arranged as 35 x 18 kb
  • Two on-chip PLLs
  • Multiple clock sources
  • A JPEG codec
  • ADC

Gowin said the device is targeted at use cases that require high bandwidth for video and other data-transfer applications like consumer tablets, augmented and virtual reality headsets and car infotainment systems.

Additionally, the FPGA could be used in emerging 4K gaming tablets that need a high framerate for 4K video or in vehicles that require better smartphone interfaces for features like Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
