The basic building blocks for any FPGA are the logic elements used to create the functions needed and the routing that connects the smaller functions necessary for the design. In traditional FPGAs, the logic element design and fabric/routing mix is chosen first, then it is “spread” across the die, taking space and power regardless of whether it is used in the end customer’s design. In a traditional, coarse grained FPGA architecture, most designs utilize only a small fraction of the available functionality in the logic elements and routing switches, and much is wasted. In contrast, the Efinix quantum architecture has a unique logic element called the exchangeable logic and routing Cell or XLR. This unique Logic Element is not only capable of creating logical functions necessary for the design, it can also be used as routing. The Efinix Efinity tool takes advantage of this unique architecture. It delivers results that alleviate congestion and obtain much higher utilization in the FPGA devices than the traditional FPGAs obtain, while still producing appropriate performance needed for mid-range cost optimized families. Additionally, with the Quantum technology Efinix can save metal layers. Furthermore, the logic design is very small, which leads to a big advantage in Power-Performance/area compared to traditional FPGAs. The architecture also allows Efinix flexibility, scalability, and quick time to production as they move to future and different silicon processes. Efinix has already successfully targeted the fabric to multiple silicon foundries. As you look at the size of the Trion­® devices, the architecture allows scaling of available devices up to 200,000 Logic elements, which is larger than some of the traditional coarse grained providers today. Additionally, the Quantum architecture itself has been modeled to be able to scale to over a Million Logic Elements, without needing any changes to the underlying architecture.
