Microchip Technology Inc. has announced two new PolarFire SoC FPGAs MPFS250T and MPFS025T that deliver a combination of low power consumption, thermal efficiency, and defense-grade security for smart, connected systems. The company has also announced that its Mi-V ecosystem continues to streamline RISC-V adoption while enabling a new class of smaller, more power-efficient, and less-costly industrial, IoT, and other edge-compute products.
PolarFire SoC FPGAs leverage customizations enabled by the open-standard RISC-V ISA to enhance power efficiency, security, and reliability as compared to alternative processing options, while introducing valuable new capabilities such as the deterministic Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) mode allowing users to run a Linux OS while running a maximum-performance, real-time application.
The Mi-V ecosystem is a continuously expanding, comprehensive suite of tools and design resources developed by Microchip and numerous third parties to fully support RISC-V designs. The Mi-V ecosystem aims to increase the adoption of RISC-V ISA and our RISC-V soft CPU cores for designs that are based on PolarFire, RTG4, and IGLOO 2 FPGAs.
