LONDON 26

Harald Werner, VP Sales EMEA and Managing Director EMEA

Efinix offers FPGAs in a small form factor that can serve as system controllers, ideally suited for demanding edge applications. The new System in Package (SiP) devices further simplify integration by combining multiple advantages such as lower power consumption, a smaller footprint, and easier PCB integration. Examples include the Ti125 SIP with integrated HyperRAM and the Ti135 SIP with integrated LPDDR4. These devices deliver unprecedented performance in terms of speed and power efficiency. This presentation provides a detailed overview of the new devices and their features, along with exemplary applications.

Security is increasingly becoming a core design requirement, even for engineers who do not specialize in it. This session introduces the essential security concepts; trust, privacy, integrity, and availability, in a way that connects directly to FPGA development and real‑world system architecture. Instead of focusing on cryptography or abstract theory, we look at how these principles influence system design and device selection. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how security requirements will impact their own designs and how hardware‑based security can significantly strengthen the resilience of FPGA‑centric systems.

Graham McKenzie, Principal Field Application Engineer

With the emergence of the Cyber Resilience Act and other industry inflection points, design security is becoming more important and certainly more talked about. But what is design security, what features are available in FPGAs and how do they help secure my design and my product?

During this talk, we will explore the fundamentals of design security, examine how security features have evolved, and discuss how Altera is prepared for a post-quantum world. We will review specific FPGA security features, the threats they mitigate, and how they are implemented, so that security becomes less of a mystery and more of routine aspect of FPGA engineering.

Ian Pearson, Principal Field Applications Engineer

This presentation explores the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its far-reaching impact on connected products entering the European market. It explains the CRA’s essential requirements, life-cycle-based security expectations, and mandatory vulnerability-management processes. The session outlines risk-based product classifications, documentation and reporting obligations, and the role of emerging horizontal and vertical standards in demonstrating compliance. It also clarifies the responsibilities for manufacturers, including support and security update requirements, and highlights how the CRA applies to both new and legacy products. Pearson will also outline how Microchip Technology is setting the benchmark for secure FPGA design, supporting customers with robust security architectures, comprehensive documentation, and proven, security-focused components—enabling faster, more confident compliance with the CRA.
