GOWIN Semiconductor: Leading FPGA Solutions for Diverse Applications

Core FPGA Product Families

Low-Power FPGAs

• GW1N/L Series: Compact, energy-efficient FPGAs designed for battery-powered devices and IoT applications. These devices feature small form factors, low standby power (as low as 10µA), and integrated peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART), making them ideal for wearables, smart sensors, and portable electronics.

• GW2A Series: Advanced low-power solutions with enhanced logic capacity (up to 100K logic elements) and embedded memory blocks. They support high-speed interfaces (USB 2.0, LVDS) while maintaining minimal power consumption, suitable for edge computing and smart home devices.

High-Performance FPGAs

• GW5A Series: High-density FPGAs offering up to 500K logic elements, integrated DSP blocks, and high-speed transceivers (up to 10Gbps). These are optimized for industrial automation, video processing, and communication infrastructure.

• GW1AS Series: Cost-effective FPGAs with built-in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and PWM controllers, tailored for motor control, power management, and embedded systems where mixed-signal integration is critical.

Development Ecosystem

• Design Software: GOWIN’s EDA tools (e.g., GOWIN Designer) provide a user-friendly interface for FPGA programming, with features like auto-routing, timing analysis, and IP core integration to streamline development cycles.

• Evaluation Kits: Affordable development boards (e.g., GW1NR-LV9QN88C6/I5) with pre-installed peripherals, enabling engineers to prototype designs quickly without extensive hardware setup.

• IP Cores: A rich library of pre-verified intellectual property (IP) cores, including Ethernet controllers, HDMI interfaces, and motor control algorithms, reducing design time and complexity.

Key Strengths

• Flexibility & Customization: FPGAs allow real-time reconfiguration, enabling developers to adapt designs to changing requirements without hardware redesign—ideal for prototyping and low-volume production.

• Cost-Effectiveness: GOWIN’s products balance performance and price, making FPGA technology accessible for small to medium-scale projects across industries.

• Reliability: Industrial-grade FPGAs (e.g., GW5AST) operate in wide temperature ranges (-40°C to 125°C), ensuring stability in harsh environments like factory floors or automotive systems.

Target Markets

• Industrial automation and robotics

• Consumer electronics (smart TVs, wearables)

• Automotive electronics (ADAS, infotainment)

• IoT and edge computing

• Communication equipment (routers, modems)
