FPGA in wired and wireless telecom applications
FPGA in wired and wireless telecom applications
Telecom applications undergo frequent changes driven by evolving standards, protocols, and the demand for adaptability and upgradability. FPGAs emerge as the ideal solution to address them as they can be reporgrammed to support new features and protocols, without the need for hardware change. They can be also designed to meet the wide temperature range and high power efficiency requirements which are typical for operation in outdoor environments.
Benefits:
- Best-in-class power efficiency
- Dense and compact power design
- Excellent thermal performance packaging
- Robust solutions
- Scalable core voltage
- High integration
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) find extensive use in telecom applications for several reasons:
- their quick adaptability & reprogramming to changing standards and requirements
- customisation capability to telecom-eqipment-manufacturer-specific use cases
- exposed operation in remote or power-contrained environments
Infineon offers power management, security and memory components that can operate under such conditions and meet enhance environmental standards, while delivering robust, secure, and highly efficient functioning with excellent thermal performance . They help meet the evolving demands of telecom industry, from IoT connectivity, over 5G and beyond.
Infineon delivers an ideal DC-DC power supply solution for programmable FPGAs intelecom applications including wide environmental temperature requirements.Our comprehensive portfolio of integrated point-of-load (PoL) voltage regulators, OptiMOS™ Integrated Smart Power Stages, and digital multiphase controllers delivers system robustness, power density, efficiency and excellent thermal performance, enabling telecom eqiuipment manufacturers to tailor the offering down to their design requirements.
