  Nuremberg, Germany - 6 March 2025 – Embedded OEMs in the industrial and consumer market segments can discover innovative solutions for motor control and video bridging as GOWIN Semiconductor unveils ground-breaking FPGA-based demonstration designs at the Embedded World exhibition (Nuremberg, Germany, 11-13 March 2025). The demonstration designs, as well as the company’s broad portfolio of low-density LittleBee and mid-range Arora V FPGA products, will be available to view at the GOWIN booth 3A-340 at Embedded World. The GW5AS Motor Control Demo illustrates GOWIN’s advanced current-loop control IP implementing a field-oriented control (FOC) scheme for a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Based on the GW5AS-25K FPGA solution, which combines a high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4 processor operating at up to 288MHz with a 25K LUT Arora-V FPGA, this demonstration design provides precise torque and speed control for industrial motors. Intended for use in CNC machines, robots, and other industrial applications, the GW5AS system offers multi-motor control and ultra-fast current-loop calculations, resulting in very high performance and real-time control. The GW5AT Video Bridging Demo highlights the benefits of the high-speed, hard-wired SerDes blocks integrated in GOWIN’s latest GW5AT FPGAs. Featuring the GW5AT-60K FPGA, the demo showcases a robust and high-speed video bridging system capable of supporting 4K video streaming. ‘Returning to Embedded World after a highly successful 2024, we are excited to demonstrate how GOWIN’s FPGA technology is evolving to meet the diverse needs of both industrial and consumer markets,’ said Mike Furnival, VP of International Sales at GOWIN Semiconductor. ‘Our innovative solutions not only provide exceptional performance and cost efficiency, but also empower engineers to create smarter, more integrated designs across a range of applications.’ For more information about GOWIN Semiconductor and its portfolio of high-performance FPGA solutions, visit www.gowinsemi.com.   About GOWIN Semiconductor Corporation Founded in 2014, Gowin Semiconductor Corp., headquartered with major R&D in China, has the vision to accelerate customer innovation worldwide with our programmable solutions.
