PolarFire cost-optimised FPGAs deliver the lowest power at mid-range densities with 12.7 Gbps SerDes transceivers as well as best-in-class security and reliability. They offer unprecedented capabilities and value with 10G transceivers, advanced I/Os, security and DSP capabilities while maintaining all the advantages traditionally associated with non-volatile FPGAs such as static power, security and single event upset (SEU) immunity.
PolarFire FPGAs are ideal for a wide range of applications within wireline access networks and cellular infrastructure, defence and commercial aviation markets, as well as industrial automation and IoT markets.

Cost-Optimised Architecture
- Architecture and process optimisations for 100K/500K LE devices
- Transceiver performance optimised for 12.7 Gbps, which yields smaller size
- 1.6 Gbps I/Os supporting DDR4/DDR3/LPDDR3, LVDS – hardened I/O gearing logic with CDR (supports SGMII/GbE links on GPIOs)
- Best-in-class high-performance, hardened security IP in mid-range devices
Power Optimisation
- The lowest static power—1/10 static power vs. competing devices
- Transceiver optimised for 12.7 Gbps, which yields 1/2 the power vs. competing devices
- Integrated hard IP—DDR PHY, PCIe endpoint/root port, crypto processor
- Total power (static and dynamic)—up to 50% lower power

Radiation-Tolerant (RT) PolarFire FPGA Achieves QML Class Q Qualification
The RT PolarFire FPGA family brings Microchip’s 60 years of space flight heritage to a product line that delivers the necessary computing and connectivity throughput for modern space missions. These FPGAs consume up to 50 percent less power than SRAM-based alternatives while enabling on-orbit data processing systems to meet demanding performance requirements and reliable operation without excessive heat generation in the harsh radiation environment of space. Low-power and reprogrammable RT PolarFire FPGAs offer expanded logic density and high performance, providing significant improvements in signal processing throughput and reducing satellite signal processing congestion.
