PolarFire Core FPGAs and SoCs from Microchip deliver high performance
In the current marketplace, Bill of Material (BOM) costs are continuing to rise and developers must work to optimise performance and budgets. Recognising that a significant portion of the mid-range FPGA market does not require integrated serial transceivers, Microchip is releasing PolarFire Core Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and System on Chips (SoCs). The new devices are a derivative of the base PolarFire families and reduce customer costs by up to 30 percent by optimising features and removing integrated transceivers. Offering the same industry-leading, low-power consumption and proven security and dependability of classic PolarFire technology, Core devices provide savings without sacrificing functionality, processing capability or quality.
Designed for automotive, industrial automation, medical, communication, defence and aerospace markets, PolarFire Core families feature Single Event Upset (SEU) immunity for mission-critical reliability and integrate a quad-core, 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor (MPU) for flexible compute capabilities. Additionally, the Core devices are designed to be pin-to-pin compatible with the full line of PolarFire FPGAs to accommodate various design SKUs, enhancing value for applications that prioritise cost efficiency over a range of unnecessary features.
Whether enabling real-time control, edge processing or safety-critical systems, PolarFire Core devices are designed to deliver the flexibility and longevity engineers need to accelerate innovation. Visit the website to learn more about Microchip’s portfolio of FPGAs and SoCs.
PolarFire Core devices are supported by Microchip’s Libero SoC Design Suite, SmartHLS compiler, VectorBlox Accelerator SDK and Microchip’s Mi-V ecosystem of partner platforms for rapid RISC-V application development. They are compatible with currently available PolarFire FPGA and SoC development boards to expedite silicon development.
