Enabling New Capabilities for Space


RT PolarFire® FPGAs combine our 60 years of space flight heritage with the industry’s lowest-power PolarFire FPGA family to enable new capabilities for space applications. With 481,000 Logic Elements (LEs), 33 Mb of embedded SRAM, 1,480 DSP blocks and 24 lanes of 10 Gbps transceivers, these radiation-tolerant FPGAs enable higher computing and connectivity throughput for mission-critical systems at 40 to 50% lower power than competing SRAM FPGAs while delivering greater immunity to configuration Single-Event Upsets  (SEUs).

The RTPF500ZT RT PolarFire FPGA is now QML Class Q qualified, offering low-power, radiation-tolerant performance with no configuration upsets to meet the requirements of mission-critical space systems. Engineering samples of the RT PolarFire SoC FPGA, integrating a RISC-V® processor with proven FPGA fabric, are also available for advanced payload and avionics development. To learn more, contact a Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor.

Notes:

  1. TS and TLS FPGAs contain an Athena TeraFire® F5200B crypto coprocessor.
  2. Not recommended for new design.

RT PolarFire FPGAs integrate our fifth-generation nonvolatile low-power FPGA fabric with the industry's lowest power high-performance Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) transceivers on a single chip while maintaining resistance to radiation-induced configuration upsets in the harshest radiation environments, such as space flight (LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO, and deep space) and high-altitude aviation.
