Intel® MAX® 10 FPGAs are available in commercial, industrial, and automotive (AEC-Q100) temperature grades.

In addition, they will be supported in a future release of the functional safety pack, TUV Certified to IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, reducing development time and time to market.

Intel® MAX® 10 FPGAs – Your Control Center

Why have a separate Power Management IC (PMIC) to control your systems, when you can get one Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA that does it all. MAX 10 FPGAs integrate comprehensive Board Management Controller (BMC) capabilities, reducing component count and cost relative to stand-alone solutions.

Many of today’s high-end FPGAs, including Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs and SoCs and Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGAs and SoCs, have multiple power rails that need to be turned on a in a specific order and monitored during runtime to ensure proper device operation. Whether the power supplies used for these FGPAs are controlled by simple digital I/O or leverage the more advanced PMBus control interface, MAX 10 FPGAs are well equipped to sequence and monitor these power supplies. 

Benefits of using MAX 10 FPGAs over PMICs:

Integrated analog and instant on

• More efficient power up sequencing, monitoring, and power down sequencing
• Supports both GPIO controlled and PMBus based power supplies
• Large number analog inputs allows for the monitoring of multiple rails

On-chip flash

• Supports data logging capabilities to better track abnormal board behavior (i.e. temperature, power rail fluctuations)

Integrated temperature sense diode

• Removes the need for external temperature sensors

Integrated Diagnostics

• Use data logging to reduce repair costs and quickly know what went wrong

Integrated Prognostics

• Predict board failures before they happen
• By watching performance trends (voltage rail or thermal) failing boards can be identified before they fail, increasing system up time.

Next generation video solutions, such as industrial surveillance cameras, industrial machine vision, automotive (gesture control, self-driving cars, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS)) and consumer drones require more advanced video processing capabilities. Intel® MAX® 10 FPGAs, combined with IP cores, provide one of the industry’s best solutions to implement many of these interfaces:

• Control or Data Centric Interfaces
  • CAN*, LIN*, Ethernet (AVB/BRR*/TSN), USB*, PCI-Express*
• Camera Sensor or Video Interfaces
  • MIPI* CSI or DSI, HiSPi*, SLVS, DisplayPort*, RSDS/LVDS/mini-LVDS

Previously, ASSP D-PHY devices were needed to convert signals from the CMOS image sensor to the MIPI electrical standards before input into traditional FPGAs, which then implemented customized image sensor/processing functions.  

Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at altera.com.

With the Nios® II embedded processor, Intel® MAX® 10 FPGAs provide unmatched flexibility when designing your system.  Going beyond traditional low-cost FPGAs, CPLDs, and microcontroller units (MCUs), only MAX 10 FPGAs with Nios II processor support provide:

• Single-chip, instant-on - embedded systems with on-die flash for software code and FPGA configuration storage
