ALISO VIEJO, Calif.,
April 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading
provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power,
security, reliability and performance, today announced its
PolarFire® field programmable gate array (FPGA)
family is the recipient of China Electronic Market (CEM) magazine's
2017 Editor's Choice Award. Microsemi's lowest power,
cost-optimized FPGA family was recognized as the "most competitive
FPGA product for 2017" based on brand influence, market share,
technological innovation, product services and unique features.
"We are excited to be recognized by CEM editors and industry
experts with this prestigious award, as it validates our leadership
in changing the industry's perception of traditional mid-range
FPGAs by delivering a truly innovative product family," said
Shakeel Peera, vice president FPGA
marketing at Microsemi. "The Editor's Choice Award also underscores
the relevance of PolarFire in the fast-growing China market, which we are pleased to see
leveraging the family's unique capabilities such as low power, low
cost as well as exceptional security and reliability."
Founded in 1995, CEM is one of the earliest publications about
China's electronics and
semiconductor industries. The monthly magazine covers new products,
technical and market trends, and market data. Its annual Editor's
Choice Awards evaluate product entries' brand recognition, adoption
successes in the market, as well as unique capabilities and
features. CEM magazine recognized Microsemi and other award winners
on April 10 during an awards ceremony
at the China Information Technology Expo (CITE) in Shenzhen, China. The publication selected 22
winning products from 19 different companies with Microsemi's
PolarFire FPGA being the only winner in its category.
Microsemi's PolarFire FPGAs provide cost-effective bandwidth
processing capabilities for the increasing number of converged
10Gpbs ports with the lowest power footprint, and also address the
market's growing concerns over tangible cyber security threats as
well as reliability concerns that face deep submicron SRAM-based
FPGAs as they relate to single event upsets (SEUs) in their
configuration memory. The recognition from CEM adds to the device's
"Product of the Year" award win from Electronic Products Magazine,
as well as the "2017 Product of the Year" award from Electronic
Products China (EPC) and 21ic.com.
About PolarFire FPGAs
Microsemi's new cost-optimized PolarFire FPGAs deliver the
industry's lowest power at mid-range densities with
exceptional security and reliability. The award-winning product
family features 12.7 Gbps Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes)
transceivers at up to 50 percent lower power than competing FPGAs.
Densities span from 100K to
500K logic elements (LEs) and are
ideal for a wide range of applications within wireline access
networks and mobile infrastructure, defense and commercial aviation
markets, as well as industry 4.0 which includes the industrial
automation and Internet of Things (IoT) markets.
PolarFire FPGAs' transceivers can support multiple serial
protocols, making the products ideal for communications
applications with 10Gbps Ethernet, CPRI, JESD204B, Interlaken and
PCIe. In addition, the ability to implement serial gigabit Ethernet
(SGMII) on general purpose input/output (GPIO) enables numerous
1Gbps Ethernet links to be supported. PolarFire FPGAs also contain
the most hardened security IP to protect customer designs, data and
supply chain. The non-volatile PolarFire product family consumes 10
times less static power than competitive devices and features an
even lower standby power referred to as Flash*Freeze. For more
