Lowest-Power, Cost-Optimized, Mid-Range FPGAs
PolarFire® FPGAs deliver award-winning performance with exceptional security, reliability and the lowest power consumption in their class. Spanning from 48K to 481K programmable Logic Elements (LEs), these mid-range devices include options with integrated 12.7 Gbps transceivers for high-speed serial connectivity in communications, imaging and embedded system applications.
Introducing PolarFire Core FPGAs
The PolarFire FPGA family now includes cost-optimized Core devices for applications that don’t require high-speed serial transceivers. These FPGAs offer up to 481K LEs with a wide range of logic densities, packaging options, fast I/O and configuration flexibility to meet diverse performance, power and cost requirements.
Cost-Optimized Architecture
- Architecture and process optimizations for 50K–500K LE devices
- Transceiver performance optimized for 12.7 Gbps, which yields smaller size
- PolarFire Core FPGA family offers same PolarFire FPGA features without the transceivers for cost-sensitive applications
- 1.6 Gbps I/Os supporting DDR4/DDR3/LPDDR3, LVDS-hardened I/O gearing logic with CDR (supports SGMII/GbE links on GPIOs)
- Best-in-class high-performance, hardened security IP in mid-range devices
- Small form factor 11 × 11 mm package option
Power Optimization
- Lowest power FPGAs: One-tenth (1/10) static power compared to competing devices
- Transceivers optimized for 12.7 Gbps, which yields half the power of competing devices
- Integrated hard IP: DDR PHY, PCIe® endpoint/root port, crypto processor
- Total power (static and dynamic): up to 50% lower power
- PolarFire Core FPGA family offers same PolarFire FPGA features without the transceivers for even lower-power options

PolarFire cost-optimized FPGAs deliver the lowest power at mid-range densities with 12.7 Gbps SerDes transceivers as well as best-in-class security and reliability. They offer unprecedented capabilities and value with 10G transceivers, advanced I/Os, security and DSP capabilities while maintaining all the advantages traditionally associated with nonvolatile FPGAs such as static power, security and single event upset (SEU) immunity. The devices are excellent for a wide range of applications within wireline access networks and cellular infrastructure, defense and commercial aviation markets, as well as industrial automation and IoT markets.
For details on specific military device offerings, please refer to the Product Overview.
Note:
- Devices in the same package and family type are pin compatible
- The FCSG325 package has dimensions of 11 × 11 for MPF050 and MPF100 devices and 11 × 14.5 for MPF200 devices
- PolarFire Core FPGA devices do not contain transceiver lanes or PCIe Gen 2 endpoints/root ports
Featured Applications
