FPGAs

It has been announced by Microsemi, that Bitec’s DisplayPort intellectual property (IP) core optimised for PolarFire field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) is available. Compared to alternative solutions, the core gives designers the ability to take advantage of the PolarFire family’s smaller size and 50% lower power to enable stunning image quality in small form factor embedded displays and monitors. 

TE Connectivity (TE), has announced it has partnered with Annapolis Micro Systems, a leading FPGA board and systems supplier, on the release of three of their new high-performance FPGA boards that feature TE’s NanoRF module. The half-size NanoRF is designed to fit into the VITA 67.3 form factor and supports 70GHz bandwidth, with more than double the RF contact density of existing VITA 67 solutions.

In this video, Guneet Chadha from Analog Devices discusses the three design challenges that their power management solutions solve as core voltages keep scaling down.

A complete technology stack combining modular hardware kits, neural network IP cores, software tools, reference designs and custom design services has been introduced by Lattice Semiconductor to accelerate integration of machine learning inferencing into broad market IoT applications.

FRAMOS has officially launched the first SLVS-EC RX IP Core for easy sensor interfacing with FPGAs from Xilinx. The proprietary FRAMOS FPGA module available with an Evaluation Kit, connects SONY’s latest high-speed SLVS-EC interface with Xilinx FPGAs and enables vision engineers to seamlessly upgrade to Sony’s interface technology of the future and to create high-performance vision solutions.

Microsemi has announced its first cost-optimised, low power, mid-range PolarFire Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device is now production-qualified. With 300K Logic Elements (LEs), the second largest device in the family targets a variety of applications in the communications, defence, industrial and aviation markets. The company also announced full Libero SoC Design Suite support for PolarFire devices, giving designers the ability to design...

Renesas Electronics has announced three programmable power management ICs (PMICs) that offer the highest power efficiency and smallest footprint for application processors in smartphones and tablets: the ISL91302B, ISL91301A, and ISL91301B PMICs. The PMICs also deliver power to artificial intelligence (AI) processors, FPGAs, and industrial microprocessors (MPUs), and they are suitable for powering the supply rails in solid-state drives (SSDs), op...

Microsemi has announced its RTG4 high-speed signal processing radiation-tolerant FPGAs have achieved Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class Q qualification by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The qualification, which validates the quality and reliability of RTG4 FPGAs as well as the company's qualification and manufacturing screening processes, enables easier design of Microsemi's flash technology into space applications due to the streamlin...

  Pentek has introduced the newest member of the Jade family of high performance data converter XMC modules based on the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA. The Model 71800 is a co-processor module with an XMC PCI Express Gen 3 interface and general purpose I/O using parallel LVDS and gigabit serial ports.

Microsemi has announced it has expanded the third-party IP offerings for its cost-optimised, low power, mid-range PolarFire FPGAs. With new support of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning IP and HDMI 2.0b interfaces, the company’s award-winning PolarFire device can now be used in industrial artificial intelligence applications which leverage the rich resources in the FPGA, particularly the large quantities of digital signal pr...
