Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced it is actively supporting system developers transitioning to PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs.

Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP) today announced development resources and design services that include a mid-range industrial edge stack, cryptography that supports immediate customization, a boot library of soft intellectual property (IP), and new tools to convert existing FPGA designs to PolarFire devices.

This expands Microchip's comprehensive lineup of FPGA tools and services that support Microchip's PolarFire family of products, including high-volume RISC-V-based system-on-chip (SoC) FPGAs.

Seven newly released development resources and transition tools provide a comprehensive industrial edge stack for Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) applications based on the Open Platform Communication/Unification Architecture (OPC/UA).

We also provide customizable encryption and boot software IP libraries optimized for PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs in optimal area and timing for rapid design and prototyping.

Step-by-step guide to transitioning from alternative FPGA families Conversion scripts with tutorials are provided, enabling developers to quickly convert directly from FPGAs from other vendors.

Additionally, it provides a high-performance AI/ML development flow that enables algorithm creators to build their own mid-range FPGAs.

We also offer a new PolarFire SoC development kit for our smart embedded vision solution stack, giving industrial vision developers a head start on developing post-sensor processing and vision connectivity systems.

You can also find tutorials, presentations, and resource guides on how to design low-temperature edge nodes in Microchip's extensive tutorial repository for FPGAs and SOCs.

Additionally, it provides a new tutorial on power consumption and a suite of tools to evaluate the power efficiency and thermal management of any design within the vendor-provided estimation tools.

Microchip's FPGA Libero® SoC design family integrates IP libraries available in evaluation and RTL free versions, while the VectorBlox Accelerator supports the most common frameworks. Both products are available free of charge and for purchase through the Microchip website.

The OPC/UA Industrial Edge Stack is scheduled to be released this quarter, with detailed pricing available upon request. PolarFire FPGA and SoC development kits and hardware are available for purchase on the Microchip website.
