Microchip FPGAs Speed Intelligent Edge Designs and Reduce Development Cost and Risk with Tailored PolarFire® FPGA and SoC Solution Stacks
28 Setembro 2023 - 9:00AM
Designing systems for the intelligent edge has never been more
difficult. Market windows are shrinking, the costs and risks of new
designs are rising, thermal constraints and reliability are twin
priorities and the need for cradle-to-grave security continues to
grow. Satisfying these simultaneous demands requires immediate
knowledge of special technology and vertical-market expertise.
There’s no time to start from scratch. Today, Microchip Technology
Inc.
(Nasdaq: MCHP) adds nine new technology- and
application-specific solution
stacks to its
growing collection of mid-range FPGA and System-on-Chip (SoC)
support. The stacks span the industrial edge, smart embedded vision
and edge communications.
“We’re making it much easier to create industry-leading
industrial and communications designs,” said Shakeel Peera, vice
president of strategy for Microchip’s FPGA business unit. “And our
intelligent edge focus is getting significant traction with leading
system designers because they get the full benefit of PolarFire
FPGA’s unequalled power efficiency, security and reliability.”
“Size, weight and power are extremely important considerations
in designing a thermal imaging system,” said Federic Aubrun, CCO of
Xenics, a pioneer in infrared imaging, with best-in-class products
for short-, mid- and long-wave IR imagers, cores and cameras.
“Microchip SmartFusion® and PolarFire FPGAs provide the best
balance between small form factor, power efficiency and processing
resources within an extremely low power budget in our current and
next-generation products.”
“We use PolarFire FPGAs because of their small footprint and
energy efficiency,” said Michael Yampolsky, founder and CEO of KAYA
Instruments. “They enable our cameras to fit into tight spaces
while getting high quality, low noise, excellent dynamic range and
large feature set utilizing the latest CMOS sensor technology.
Using PolarFire FPGAs on our platform allows us to bring our latest
vision technology to market quickly for our customers’ needs.” KAYA
designs industrial-grade imaging equipment, including
small-form-factor and low-power cameras and frame grabbers that
provide outstanding video quality in average to extreme ambient
light conditions.
The news of Microchip’s expanded solution stack collections
follows the June announcement of an industrial
edge stack for OPC/UA (Open Platform Communications/Unified
Architecture) and extensive resources to help customers switch to
PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs.
Tailored Solution Stacks—Only for PolarFire FPGAs and
SoCs
Unlike alternatives that offer baseline support for overly broad
application categories, PolarFire FPGA intelligent edge solution
stacks are highly tailored to specific technologies and
vertical-market requirements and include detailed intellectual
property (IP), reference designs, development kits with sample
designs, application notes, demo guides and more.
Microchip is offering new PolarFire FPGA and SoC intelligent
edge solutions and stacks for the following applications:
Smart embedded vision:
- H.264 compression
- HDMI®
- Serial digital interface
- CoaXpress®
Industrial edge:
Edge communications:
- Software-defined radios
- USXGMII
- Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) optical
module
- 5G ORAN
About the PolarFire Family
Microchip’s PolarFire family offers twice the
power efficiency of FPGAs in its category with the highest
reliability and military-grade security. These FPGAs are the
first—and currently still only—RISC-V SoC FPGAs shipping in
production volumes. PolarFire SoC devices create
new configurable processing capabilities through hardened RISC-V
core complexes in a fast FPGA fabric and they are playing an
integral role as computer workloads move to the power-sensitive
intelligent edge. Their capabilities will be extended with a
roadmap to increased compute capability in ever-smaller and less
costly industrial, IoT and other edge-compute products. All
PolarFire devices are in full production and developers can access
the software tools to begin designing with them
here. The devices, solution stacks and tools are
complemented by Microchip’s total system solutions spanning
hardware, software, services and other support.
