Designed to Deliver Fast and Power-Efficient
Processing Needed by Internet of Things Applications, Intel
Announces the Intel Cyclone 10 Family of Field Programmable Gate
Arrays
To serve the growing number of Internet of Things (IoT)
applications, Intel Corporation today announced the Intel® Cyclone®
10 family of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Designed to
deliver fast and power-efficient processing, they have a variety of
uses, including for automotive, industrial automation, pro audio
visual and vision systems.

As the “things” become more connected and able to share volumes
of real-time data among themselves, data become more difficult to
process. Information coming in from sensors and cameras in
buildings, factories, homes and vehicles at an increasing rate can
no longer be adequately handled by microprocessors or
microcontrollers alone.
High-performance processing devices such as Intel’s FPGAs are
able to collect and send data, and make real-time decisions based
on the input from IoT devices. FPGAs can be programmed to deliver
the specific level of computing and functions required by different
IoT applications.
The Cyclone® 10 FPGAs – Cyclone® 10 GX and Cyclone® 10 LP – have
their own unique features to address different design team
needs.
Cyclone 10 GX is unique among other low-cost FPGAs as it can
support 10G transceivers and hard floating point DSP (digital
signal processing). It offers 2-times the performance increase over
the previous generation of Cyclone. The architectural innovation in
the implementation of IEEE 754 single-precision hardened
floating-point DSP blocks can enable processing rates up to 134
GFLOPs (giga floating-point operations per second). This is
important for engineers needing higher performance using the FPGA
for applications such as motion or motor control systems.
Markets for Intel Cyclone 10 GX include those where high I/O
performance and core speed are key requirements. Uses include
industrial machine vision and smart city applications that provide
surveillance in parking lots , on roads and on bridges. Cyclone 10
GX is also well-suited to support pro AV technologies, such as
video streaming applications.
Motor-driven systems account for more than two-thirds of
industrial energy consumption, and their efficient operation is
vital to the smart factory. Cyclone 10 GX FPGAs enable cost-savings
when using motors and drives, power assembly, computer numerical
control (CNC), machine tools and robotics.
By using FPGAs such as the Cyclone 10 GX, operators can benefit
from significant reductions in overall cost of ownership across
entire product lines. For example, operators can use Cyclone GX to
lower their bill of materials costs by integrating industrial
networking and functional safety in a single chip.
Designers using Cyclone GX and Cyclone LP FPGAs in industrial
settings can more easily reach compliance under the Machinery
Directive safety standard known as IEC 61508 by working with Intel,
the first FPGA supplier to obtain device and tool qualification
under this important industry standard.
The Intel Cyclone 10 LP is the perfect solution for applications
where cost and power are key factors in the design decision. These
systems typically use FPGA densities that are sub 75K LE and
chip-to-chip bridging functions between electronic components or
I/O expansion for microprocessors.
Cyclone 10 LP can also be used for automotive video processing
used in rear-view cameras and in sensor fusion, where data gathered
while the car is on the road is combined from multiple sensors in
the car to provide a more complete view of what is happening.
The Cyclone 10 FPGA family will be available in the second half
of 2017, along with evaluation kits and boards, and the latest
version of Quartus, the Intel FPGA programming software.
