New PolarFire® SoC FPGAs with high thermal efficiency and low power consumption

soc polafire microchip

Double performance with half consumption

Computing on the edge systems require small, low-power, low-heat programmable devices to eliminate fans and other heatsinks, as well as provide powerful computing power. Our PolarFire® SoC FPGAs have overcome this challenge thanks to their RISC-V based embedded microprocessor subsystem with optimized power consumption and Linux® compatibility for real time.

PolarFire SoC incorporates the only processor on the market based on RISC-V architecture for demanding applications with 2 megabytes (MB) of L2 cache and support for LPDDR4 (Low-Power DDR4) memory along with the most advanced PolarFire FPGA fabric on the market.

Overcome power, system size, cost, and security challenges in intelligent embedded vision applications as well as thermally constrained applications: automotive, industrial automation, communications, defense, and IoT systems that demand optimal levels of power and performance.
