UNIGROUP’s new automotive-grade FPGA, the PG2L50M-5AMBG256, has passed AEC-Q100 Grade2 certification, marking the company’s second qualified programmable chip after the PG2L25G. The device targets high-speed in-vehicle video bridging for smart cockpits and ADAS.
Built on a mature 28nm CMOS process, the chip features 45K logic cells and an integrated hard-core MIPI D-PHY running at 2.5Gbps per lane, supporting bidirectional transmission and directly driving 4-megapixel 60fps automotive displays. It also includes configurable soft-core MIPI, 1.25G LVDS, and a hard-core DDR4 memory channel – efficiently handling multiple video streams with high read/write bandwidth.
On the safety front, the PG2L50M integrates SEU fault detection and correction, AES-256 bitstream encryption, and RSA-4096 authentication, meeting rigorous automotive data security standards. Its ultra-low latency makes it suitable for CMS electronic mirrors, LiDAR, and premium cockpit displays – delivering a cost-effective domestic alternative for real-time vision applications.
The chip is now in debugging with multiple LiDAR, e-mirror, and infotainment tier-1 suppliers, accelerating domestic FPGA replacement in automotive vision chains. UNIGROUP plans to expand its automotive FPGA portfolio with more derivatives for autonomous driving and body-control applications.
From ICgoodFind: AEC-Q100 is the gatekeeper, and UNIGROUP just walked through. With 45K LUTs and 2.5G MIPI, this FPGA is built for real-time vision where milliseconds matter – and that’s exactly where domestic automotive silicon needs to be.
