To accommodate the wide temperature ranges required by various thermal camera applications, Efinix FPGAs are available in multiple temperature grades. The industrial grade variant (I-marking in the ordering code) supports an operating range of -40 to 100°C. For more demanding environments, the automotive grade variant (Q-marking) extends this range to -40 to 125°C. Where neither is required, the commercial grade variant (C-marking) covers a standard operating range of 0 to 85°C. As not all temperature grades are available in every package variant of the FPGAs, it is recommended to consult the Efinix product tables for the specific application requirements.

Due to various effects inherent to infrared sensors, a wide range of processing steps within the FPGA are both conceivable and necessary. These include correction steps such as Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC) using a two-point method or a LUT-based multi-point approach, as well as bad pixel correction. Additional processing stages such as edge detection, inter-frame or intra-frame denoising are equally feasible. For all of these processing steps, the high compute capability of the Titanium and Topaz FPGAs, featuring 18×19 DSP blocks, can be leveraged. For intermediate storage of sensor data or correction data, the embedded memory blocks, ranging from 1.53Mbit in Ti35 to 27.53Mbit in Ti375, are available. Thanks to the fast LPDDR4/x memory interface with up to 105Gbps (3.3Gbps with 32-bit width) available on Titanium FPGAs, even inter-frame based denoising or averaging approaches present no challenge.
