Jingwei Qili (HME) HME-H Series (Hercules)

HME-H cost advantages: 22nm process - smaller die size reduces manufacturing cost. Optimized architecture - efficient LUT6 design maximizes logic per area. Selective hard IP - includes essential IP without unnecessary complexity. Package options - cost-optimized packages for high-volume production. Volume pricing - attractive pricing for production quantities. Total cost of ownership - low power reduces system cooling costs. Comparison: Typically 30-50% lower cost than equivalent performance FPGAs from international vendors. Best for: High-volume applications, cost-sensitive designs, replacement of older generation FPGAs.

Choose HME-H when cost is a primary concern without compromising essential features.

22nm power benefits: Static power - 50-60% lower than 40nm/55nm FPGAs. Dynamic power - 20-30% improvement in power efficiency. Total power - typical designs consume 1-3W vs 3-6W on older processes. Thermal benefits - reduced heat dissipation simplifies thermal design. Battery applications - extended operation time for portable devices. Power features: Programmable power modes for unused blocks. Dynamic voltage scaling capability. Fine-grained clock gating. Comparison with competitors: Competitive with Xilinx Artix-7 (28nm) and Intel MAX 10 (55nm) in power efficiency.
