Gowin Semiconductor Distributor
Gowin Semiconductor is a leading Chinese FPGA company specializing in low-power, small-package, and cost-effective programmable logic solutions. Their product portfolio includes the LittleBee and Arora FPGA families, serving industrial control, consumer electronics, communications, and automotive markets.
Core Product Areas
LittleBee FPGAs
The LittleBee family is Gowin's ultra-low-power FPGA series, designed specifically for battery-powered and portable applications. These devices feature embedded flash configuration memory that enables instant-on operation without external configuration devices. With static power consumption as low as microamps and compact package options including WLCSP, LittleBee FPGAs are ideal for IoT sensors, wearable devices, portable electronics, and industrial control applications where power efficiency and size are critical. The family offers various logic densities to accommodate different design complexities while maintaining the core advantages of low power and small form factor.
Arora FPGAs
The Arora family is Gowin's high-performance FPGA series, designed for demanding applications requiring high logic density, advanced DSP capabilities, and high-speed I/O. These devices feature SRAM-based configuration and offer significantly more resources than the LittleBee family, including higher LUT counts, more DSP blocks, and support for external high-speed memory interfaces. Arora FPGAs are ideal for video processing, communications infrastructure, edge AI acceleration, and industrial vision applications. The family includes devices with various capacity points to match different application requirements while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Tang Nano Development Boards
The Tang Nano series comprises affordable, compact development boards designed for rapid FPGA prototyping and learning. These boards feature Gowin FPGAs in various capacities, along with essential peripherals and interfaces for evaluation. The Tang Nano ecosystem has gained popularity in the maker community, education sector, and among professional engineers for proof-of-concept development. Boards typically include USB programming interfaces, LEDs, buttons, expansion connectors, and sometimes displays or camera interfaces. The low cost and comprehensive documentation make Tang Nano an excellent entry point into Gowin FPGA development.
IP Cores and Solutions
Gowin provides a comprehensive library of pre-verified IP cores that accelerate FPGA design development and reduce time-to-market. These IP cores cover essential functions including interface protocols, video processing, memory controllers, communications, and AI acceleration. All IP cores are optimized for Gowin FPGAs and can be easily configured through the Gowin Cloud Designer software. The IP catalog includes both free and licensed cores, with many commonly used interfaces available at no cost. Using proven IP cores reduces development risk and ensures reliable operation.
