Microchip AEC-Q100 qualified SoC FPGAs cut power requirements
PolarFire System on Chip (SoC) FPGAs from Microchip are now qualified to AEC-Q100 standards set by the Automotive Electronics Council. AEC-Q100 qualified devices have undergone rigorous testing to demonstrate their capability to withstand extreme conditions in automotive applications. The PolarFire SoC FPGA has been qualified for automotive Grade 1 temperatures, ranging from -40°C to 125°C.
PolarFire SoC FPGAs feature an embedded 64-bit, quad-core RISC-V® architecture capable of running Linux® and real-time operating systems (RTOS). They also have mid-range density programmable logic of up to 500K logic elements (LE). The SoC FPGA is designed for complex applications that demand low power, high performance, high reliability, and an extended operating temperature range. Devices with the same density and package have scalable assurance and share pin-package compatibility across temperature grades, making them appropriate for automotive, aerospace, and military applications.
The SoC FPGAs incorporate embedded security and safety features to protect physical, device, design, and data integrity. They are also designed with single event upset (SEU) immunity, which enhances reliability and helps mitigate the risk of data corruption and system failures in demanding environments.
“Achieving the AEC-Q100 qualification for our PolarFire SoC FPGAs validates that our technology can perform under the most challenging conditions and underscores our commitment to delivering robust solutions to meet the stringent demands of the automotive industry,” said Bruce Weyer, Corporate Vice President of Microchip’s FPGA business unit. “Our low-power design and RISC-V cores empower automotive engineers to create advanced, reliable and energy-efficient solutions for next-generation automotive systems.”
Highly scalable, PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs deliver power and thermal efficiency, eliminating the need for active cooling while ensuring high integration, defense-grade security and reliability.
