Easy access to top-tier FPGAs with reflex ces  

Getting started with top-tier FPGAs can be tricky. What you need is a partner that has a great supply chain and even better development support. If you want the best, check out reflex ces!

In another interview from Embedded World 2024, ipXchange chats with Eric from reflex ces, a company that makes it easy to get started with high-end FPGAs in embedded applications. Key markets include industrial, scientific research, instrumentation, and defence and security.

What does reflex ces do?

reflex ces offers full design and production of FPGA solutions for specific customer requirements, but it also produces off-the-shelf Systems-on-Module (SoMs). These are based on the latest FPGAs from Intel, Altera, and AMD Xilinx, with associated carrier boards. Engineers can also design their own carrier boards to suit their application requirements.

Eric highlights reflex ces’ new Agilex-7-based Ares SoM for data acquisition and processing. This industrial-grade solution features 138 GPIOs, a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, and 32 transceivers at 32 Gbps (NRZ) or up to 24 transceivers at 58 Gbps (PAM4). With its high-speed interfaces, Ares is great for high-end medical, radar, and defence systems. Other popular FPGAs that reflex ces works with include the Arria 10 SoC and the Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC.

reflex ces typically delivers 20-200 products per project, but it can also serve smaller and larger application requirements. By woking with reflex ces, it is much easier to get access to these high-end FPGAs at relatively low volumes. Its SoMs are also guaranteed for up to 15 years supply.

Getting started with high-end FPGAs

In addition to the hardware, reflex ces can also develop software and firmware based on specification. Out of the box, its SoMs have a low-level firmware/software layer so that engineers can work with the hardware immediately.
