FPGAs in datacenter applications

nobutton

Overview

Leveraging highly-configurable logic cell arrays, FPGAs provide superior efficiency and optimization, outperforming CPUs and GPUs in datacenter applications such as CPU and acceleration offload, network-traffic management, and storage allocation. FPGAs have a significant number of power rails and also use memory and secure boot functions, all of which Infineon can fulfill from its portfolio and further optimize to customer-specific usecases.

Benefits

  • Scalable core voltage
  • Industry-leading efficiency rates
  • High integration
  • Compact design for multiple rails

About FPGAs in datacenter applications

The rapid surge in AI adoption and digitalization presents significant challenges in power supply design in datacenter applications. It underscores the need for green and efficient computing solutions, critcal to reduction of overall power consumption within datacenters, where vast data volumes are constantly transmitted, stored, and processed. In such a landscape, FPGAs are assuming a more prominent role within datacenter applications due to their flexibility, energy efficiency, low latency, and customization capabilities.

Explore our portfolio of high-efficiency power solutions: Low-voltage voltage regulator (VR) designs, integrated smart power stages, and digital multiphase controllers, powering the high-performance FPGAs deployed in customer datacenters today. Discover reliable, embedded, system-level security solutions, and ensure protected end-to-end data communications, as well as our differentiated portfolio of volatile and non-volatile memory devices.

Complete power rail solutions for FPGAs in datacenter applications

Today's FPGAs demand efficient power solutions due to higher integration, smaller form-factors, and increased complexity. Infineon covers both and offers compact and high-performance DC-DC power-supply solutions. Our portfolio of integrated point-of-load (PoL) voltage regulators, OptiMOS™ integrated smart power stages, and digital multiphase controllers delivers system robustness, power density, and efficiency in FPGA design in datacenter applications, where overall reduction of power consumption is critical to sustainable operation.

Memory solutions for FPGA platforms

With nearly 40 years of experience in memory semiconductors, we lead the industry with best-of-breed memory products, solutions, and technologies. We introduced our first random access memory in 1982, and have grown from that auspicious beginning to a broad range of products spanning NOR Flash, pSRAM, SRAM, nvSRAM, and F-RAM with densities ranging from 4 Kb to 4 Gb. With unmatched quality and a strong commitment to future investment in new technologies, we will continue to lead the industry for decades to come.

Infineon presents a diverse portfolio of volatile and non-volatile memories tailored for data processing and computing needs. Explore our differentiated offerings. The EXCELON™ family of ultra-low-power, high-performance, reliable F-RAM products meets the demands of low-power datacenter applications. We cover more demanding computing applications with industry's fastest stand-alone, non-volatile SRAM with infinite endurance, the family of low pin-count, high bandwidth HYPERRAM™ pSRAM in small footprint, and plenty more.
