Lattice Semiconductor Introduces MachXO5-NX TDQ: The Industry’s First PQC-Ready FPGA Family
In a landmark move to address the growing threat of quantum-enabled cyberattacks, Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), the leader in low-power programmable solutions, has unveiled the MachXO5™-NX TDQ family, the industry’s first secure control FPGAs with full Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 2.0-compliant post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support. Built on the award-winning Lattice Nexus™ platform, the MachXO5-NX TDQ family sets a new standard for security, reliability, and flexibility in Computing, Communications, Industrial, and Automotive applications.
As quantum computing advances at an unprecedented pace, industries are under increasing pressure to adopt quantum-resistant security measures. Recognizing this urgent need, Lattice has introduced a groundbreaking solution that not only meets today’s stringent security requirements but also prepares customers for the future by delivering crypto-agility and a hardware root of trust.
“Quantum computing advancements increase the urgency to adopt quantum-resistant security across every industry,” said Esam Elashmawi, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Lattice Semiconductor. “With MachXO5-NX TDQ, Lattice is first to market with a secure control FPGA family that not only meets today’s security mandates but also delivers crypto-agility and hardware root of trust to future-proof our customers’ infrastructure against evolving threats.”
Unmatched Security with CNSA 2.0-Compliant Post-Quantum Cryptography
The MachXO5-NX TDQ FPGA family equips customers with a comprehensive suite of CNSA 2.0-compliant PQC algorithms, making it the only solution on the market to offer full compliance with these advanced standards. These include:
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-approved PQC algorithms such as LMS, XMSS, ML-DSA, ML-KEM, AES256-GCM, SHA2, SHA3, and SHAKE, ensuring robust protection against quantum threats.
- Authenticated and/or encrypted bitstreams using ML-DSA, LMS, XMSS, and AES256, safeguarding data integrity and preventing unauthorized access.
- Unique, patent-pending crypto-agility with in-field algorithm update capabilities and anti-rollback version protection, enabling ongoing alignment with evolving security standards.
- Secure bitstream key management featuring revocable root keys and a sophisticated key hierarchy for both PQC and classical cryptographic keys.
This combination ensures that organizations can seamlessly transition to quantum-resistant security while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.
Advanced Cryptography and Hardware Root of Trust
Beyond its PQC capabilities, the MachXO5-NX TDQ family offers a full complement of advanced symmetric and classical asymmetric cryptographic algorithms, including AES-CBC/GCM 256-bit, ECDSA-384/521, SHA-384/512, and RSA 3072/4096-bit encryption. These features provide robust protection for both bitstreams and user data.
The devices also feature:
- Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE), enabling secure attestation and lifecycle management.
- Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) and Lattice SupplyGuard™, ensuring end-to-end security across the supply chain.
- A hardware root of trust (RoT) with trusted single-chip boot and integrated flash, ensuring secure initialization and operation.
- Unique device secret (UDS) for distinct device identity, enhancing authentication and traceability.
- Integrated non-volatile configuration memory and user flash memory (UFM) with flexible partitioning and secure locking, providing complete control over programming interfaces (SPI, JTAG).
Additionally, the MachXO5-NX TDQ family is resilient to side-channel attacks (SCA) and compliant with NIST’s Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP), ensuring the highest levels of reliability and security.
Expanded Device Portfolio for Diverse Applications
To meet the needs of a wide range of industries, Lattice has also expanded its RoT-enabled MachXO5-NX device family with the introduction of new MachXO5-NX TD devices. These devices offer additional density and package options, providing customers with greater flexibility for their specific application requirements.
Both the MachXO5-NX TDQ and MachXO5-NX TD FPGA families are now available and have already been shipped to leading customers in the Communications and Compute sectors. These devices are supported by the latest release of Lattice Radiant™ design software, empowering developers to create cutting-edge solutions with ease.
