Microchip Technology's nonvolatile SoC FPGA "PolarFire SoC"

Microchip's PolarFire SoC is a non-volatile, mid-range SoC FPGA. SoC FPGA with low power consumption, low heat, and defense-grade security features. PolarFire FPGA, which has a reputation as a low-power FPGA, is newly equipped with a 5-core processor subsystem using 64-bit RISC-V ISA as a hard core. The only non-volatile SoC FPGA in the FPGA industry.

SoC FPGA suitable for low power consumption systems

Microchip's PolarFire SoC is a non-volatile, low-power, low-heat, mid-range SoC FPGA with defense-grade security features.

The PolarFire FPGA, which has a reputation as a low-power FPGA, is newly equipped with a 5-core processor subsystem using 64-bit RISC-V ISA as a hard core. The only non-volatile SoC FPGA in the FPGA industry.

PolarFire SoC has the following major features and benefits:

1. Up to 50% less power consumption compared to competitive FPGAs
2. Equipped with 64-bit RISC-V ISA as hard core
3. Enable real-time systems and Linux on multi-core CPU clusters
Four. Suitable for a wide range of applications

I will explain each one.

1. Up to 50% less power consumption compared to competitive FPGAs

PolarFire SoC can reduce static power by up to 50% compared to SRAM-based SoC FPGAs with similar performance. The power consumption of high-speed transceiver blocks that support up to 12.7 Gbps can also be reduced by as much as 50%.

2. Equipped with 64-bit RISC-V ISA as hard core

The PolarFire FPGA, which has a reputation for low power consumption, is newly equipped with a 5-core hard processor subsystem based on 64-bit RISC-V ISA.

The RISC-V CPU microarchitecture is a single instruction issue with a simple 5-stage pipeline, In-order execution found in typical out-order execution machines due to No hardware-level vulnerabilities (Meltdown, Specter) will be

3. Enable real-time systems and Linux on multi-core CPU clusters

All cores are kept data coherent by the memory subsystem.

This allows a wide range of combinations of "deterministic real-time systems" and "Linux" on a single multi-core CPU cluster.

Four. Suitable for a wide range of applications

It features an embedded secure boot, revolutionary Linux and real-time modes, a large and flexible L2 memory subsystem, and a rich set of peripherals. Therefore, it can be used in power efficient and secure applications such as:

1. smart embedded vision
2. Wired access network
3. mobile phone infrastructure
Four. aerospace and defense
Five. industrial automation
6. Automotive, IoT (Internet of Things)
