On-chip security features ensure tamper resistance
Microchip Technology Inc. has begun shipping its PolarFire FPGA, which has achieved AEC-Q100 T2 grade (-40°C to 125°C C T J ) and military temperature grade (-40°C to 125°C C T J ) qualification on the 4th. Unlike other SRAM-based FPGAs, PolarFire FPGAs operate without a fan and, in some cases, without a heatsink, simplifying system thermal design.

Automotive, industrial, and military applications built in harsh environments demand solutions that provide cryptographic security as well as power and space efficiency. PolarFire FPGAs feature on-chip security features to support secure communications, encrypted bitstreams, and a cryptographically secure supply chain, ensuring tamper resistance for the market.
“PolarFire FPGAs deliver up to 50 percent lower power than competing solutions,” Microchip officials said. “They scale from 100K LEs (Logic Elements) to 500K LEs and feature 12.7G transceivers.”
PolarFire FPGAs are available in production now. Microchip also offers development boards, the Libero® software tool suite, the VectorBlox™ Accelerator software development kit and IP, and high-level synthesis (HLS) tools for edge computing solutions.
