Description

 

The SoM6 Ti135 is a compact, low-power System-on-Module (SoM) built around the Efinix Titanium Ti135 FPGA, specifically utilizing the high-density N676 FBGA package. Designed for advanced embedded applications that require performance, flexibility, and energy efficiency, the SoM6 Ti135 integrates a rich set of modern features in a form factor that emphasises modularity and interoperability.

 

Key Processing and Fabric Features

At the core of the SoM is the Efinix Ti135 FPGA, fabricated on a TSMC 16nm process and featuring the Quantum™ compute fabric. This fabric includes:

  • Up to 129,600 logic elements using eXchangeable Logic and Routing (XLR) cells
  • 960 blocks of 10-kbit SRAM (totaling ~9.83 Mbits)
  • 480 DSP blocks supporting integer and BFLOAT16 computations
  • A quad-core hardened RISC-V processor with full support for RV32IMACFD extensions

This makes the SoM6 Ti135 a strong candidate for edge computing, real-time control, and vision-centric workloads.

 

High-Speed Interfaces and Connectivity

The SoM integrates several high-speed interfaces:

  • Two full-duplex transceiver banks (not fully routed on the SoM) capable of, 10G Ethernet (10GBase-KR), SGMII, and PMA Direct operation with data rates from 1.25 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps per lane. PCIe Gen 4 is supported at x1 only.
  • Dedicated SERDES routing for PCIe and 10G Ethernet
  • Extended MIPI D-PHY capabilities supporting up to 2.5 Gbps per lane (TX and RX) via two 30-pin FPC connectors
  • A RAW-PMA interface for implementing proprietary high-speed protocols over transceivers

All additional I/O, including power, configuration, and general-purpose signals, are routed through a 240-pin connector (Samtec ADF6–60–03.5–L–4–2–A). This connector is primarily pin-compatible with the AMD Kria K24 SoM, offering a migration path or interoperability for carriers; however, full application-level compatibility cannot be guaranteed due to architectural differences between Efinix’s and AMD’s FPGAs

 

Storage and Security

For onboard non-volatile memory, the SoM6 Ti135 includes:

  • eMMC flash storage (soldered on-module for robustness and space efficiency)

Security is a key focus, with the module integrating the Infineon SLS32AIA010MLUSON10XTMA2 TPM (Trusted Platform Module). This hardware root-of-trust device supports:

  • Secure key storage
  • Cryptographic operations
  • Platform integrity verification
