Microsemi er klar med SmartFusion2

Microsemi kan nu levere produktionskvalificerede SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA'er med tilhørende udviklingskit (in english).

Microsemi Corp. has announced shipment of production-qualified SmartFusion2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The company also announced the availability of its full-featured SmartFusion2 development kit with support for mainstream industry interfaces.

Since the SmartFusion2 introduction in October 2012, Microsemi has engaged with over 400 customers worldwide, and the device family has been adopted into numerous customer systems in the communications, industrial and defense markets. Microsemi’s lead customer program, coupled with the early availability of SoC development tools and now production-qualified devices and a development kit, enables customers to ramp to manufacturing volumes in a timely manner.

- With scores of active customer engagements, it is gratifying to note that more than 30 percent of these are new customers that have never used Microsemi FPGAs before, validating our strategy to provide differentiated FPGA-based SoCs for the marketplace, says Paul Ekas, vice president of marketing for Microsemi.
- Customers seeking to design with mainstream FPGA features, including high-speed SERDES, DDR3 memory controllers and integrated math blocks, can now do so on the industry’s lowest power, most secure and SEU-immune SoC FPGA.

According to Microsemi designers of safety-critical, industrial networking and high availability communications systems now no longer have to compromise between mainstream features and the added benefits of superior reliability and security that SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs provide. The production silicon is available with a complete ecosystem of software, IP and design kits that enable customers to deploy low-risk solutions.

- The breadth and depth of Microsemi’s product offering allowed us to integrate several of our industry-leading devices into the SmartFusion2 development board, and deliver a robust design solution that features programmability, embedded processors, timing solutions and PoE functionality all in one platform, says Ekas.

- As a result of our system solution approach, product architects have the flexibility of using a single, cost-effective and high-performance design platform for multiple products.
