Delivering high performance and low power in a cost-effective footprint for mainstream applications
When you are ready to go big, you need a device that is just right for volume production. Topaz FPGAs combine an extra efficient architecture with the features and protocols commonly used today (think PCIe Gen3, MIPI, LPDDR4, and LVDS), so you can go big and still have room to innovate.
Excellent Utilization
Carefully designed to pack more logic into the XLR cells, the Topaz architecture gives you more room to innovate and add new features.
Protocol Support
Featuring commonly used protocols (LVDS, MIPI, Ethernet, and PCIe Gen3) Topaz FPGAs support applications such as machine vision, robotics, and printing.
Easy-to-Use Packages
Topaz FPGAs are available in a wide range of BGA packages that are easy to integrate into your system.
Seamless Migration
You can easily migrate from Topaz to Titanium FPGAs when you need to upgrade your design's performance or need more logic.
Topaz products are designed into a broad range of applications in many diverse markets. Some of these markets are characterized by long product life cycles and, once in high volume production, are resistant to changes in specifications or components in the bill of materials. At Efinix we get that and are committed to supplying our customers with a stable supply of supported products throughout their product life cycle. We are committed to supporting our Topaz family of FPGAs in customer designs until at least 2045. Contact your local sales representative for more information on product life cycles.
Receive and manipulate data from cameras and sensors with the MIPI interface, control multiple axes of motion in parallel, and perform realtime analytics with the Sapphire RISC-V SoC.
Topaz FPGAs can provide motor control, image processing, and high-speed I/O between system components.
Use the Topaz DSP blocks for signal processing algorithms and filtering; the high-speed I/O sends and receives data to/from other components.
Send streaming video to the Topaz FPGA for pre- and post-processing, compression, scaling, and color space conversion.
Machine vision encompasses a wide range of industries and applications that use cameras, sensors, and thermal imaging to control and automate tasks as well as improve product quality, standards compliance, and safety. In these systems, the FPGA can process and aggregate the data, and then output it to a display or other processor.
With flexible I/O and support for MIPI, LVDS, PCIe Gen3, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet, Topaz FPGAs can receive camera and sensor data, process it, and transmit it. You can perform complex operations on the data, for example to inspect product quality, check positioning and alignment, perform difference checking, or identify items. The high-performance Sapphire RISC-V SoC can perform software computations while the FPGA logic accelerates hardware functions. Additionally, Topaz FPGAs are low power and have a small form factor, so you can integrate them close to the camera or sensor to perform realtime computations.
Refer to the Topaz Selector Guide for details on which resources (e.g., number of I/O, number of PLLs, MIPI D-PHY, DDR support) are available in each package.

Topaz FPGAs feature our innovative Quantum® compute fabric on an efficient, low-power, 16 nm process node. With this fabric, the Efinity software can pack more logic into the XLR cells, which means you can fit even more logic into the FPGA. Positioned for volume production applications, Topaz FPGAs let you do more for less.
Brochures and White Papers
Today's portable ultrasound equipment needs good battery life and must be able to handle complex algorithms and multiple sensor input streams. With their low power and small form factor, Topaz FPGAs fit easily into small hand-held systems. The FPGA can condition and process the incoming data from the sensors in parallel and send it to a display for diagnosis.
