MFC

eFPGA as a chiplet, ready for system integration

MFC (Menta FPGA Chiplet) is an eFPGA-based chiplet designed for modular system architectures.

It allows system designers to integrate flexibility directly at the chiplet level. It is also a key building block within the MOSAICS ecosystem.

MFC enables system designers to accelerate development, optimize integration, and create future-ready architectures for AI, edge computing, high-performance computing, and advanced SoC applications.

This project has been funded by the French State as part of the France 2030 investment plan.

Protection of Industrial Intellectual Property

With Menta eFPGA, you can securely deliver your proprietary technology to end customers through field-upgrade capabilities, significantly reducing the risk of competitors reverse-engineering your product.

Reduction of Costs Thanks to eFPGA

As production volumes increase, onboard FPGAs can rapidly become financially impractical. With Menta eFPGA, you can seamlessly integrate FPGA functionality directly onto the chip, effectively reducing manufacturing cost up to 85% and conserving valuable board space, all while ensuring full
field-upgradability.

Higher Performance of eFPGA Soft IP

With Menta eFPGA, concerns regarding board-space, I/O latency, and bandwidth are alleviated as accelerators are brought on-chip, eliminating limitations and overhead associated with I/O pad count or chip-to-chip communication interfaces.

eFPGA Means Lower Power Consumption

In a COT FPGA, all the extra to the programmable logic, such as high-speed interfaces, PLL, and controllers consume around half of the power. All our power saving advances lead an algorithm on a Menta eFPGA IP to consume between 10 and 50% of the power of the same algorithm on a FPGA.

Design Insurance with Menta eFPGA

To maximize flexibility, it’s crucial to prioritize process-portability. Menta eFPGA stands out as the sole 100% standard-cell-based solution, facilitating rapid porting of your eFPGA to any new process geometry or variant of your choice. This is achieved using the same automated, standard EDA flow as for the rest of your SoC. Leveraging our industry gold-standard Synopsys-based implementation flow, Menta ensures portability within mere weeks, empowering you to adapt swiftly to evolving technological landscapes.

Security with eFPGA Soft IP

In today’s global design chain, protecting intellectual property (IP) and trade secrets is increasingly vital. Menta eFPGA allows you to delay delivering proprietary technology to end customers until it is delivered as a field-upgrade, minimizing the chance for competitors to reverse engineer your product. This strategic approach enhances security and preserves valuable IP throughout the product lifecycle.
