Aviation With Microchip FPGAs

Aviation With FPGAs

Designing safe aviation systems is no easy task. Extreme environments, complex thermal demands and uncompromising security standards make every decision critical—especially your choice of an FPGA supplier. We deliver FPGAs with unmatched reliability, industry-leading power efficiency and SEU-immune configuration cells that are engineered to meet the toughest aviation requirements and safeguard your mission-critical applications.

FPGA Configuration Cell SEU Immunity

SEU Immunity

Our antifuse and Flash FPGA configuration cells are immune to Single-Event Upsets (SEUs).

Learn Why Our FPGAs Are the Reliable Choice

Power Efficiency

In aviation, thermal constraints are unforgiving and power efficiency isn't optional—it's mission critical. Every 10°C rise in junction temperature can double failure rates, putting system reliability at risk. Our FPGAs are engineered for efficiency, consuming up to 50% less power than competing solutions to minimize thermal stress and maximize performance where failure is not an option.

Microchip MPF300T 2.7W, 36°C, 5 FIT

Polarfire® FPGA 3.5W, 59.8°C, 24.2 FIT, 28 nm

Competitor X 5.5W, 68°C, 50 FIT

Competitor X FPGA 6.0W, 81.3°C, 96.3 FIT, 16 nm

Dissimilarity

Aviation systems demand dissimilarity to ensure fault tolerance, prevent common-mode failures and meet rigorous safety standards. Featuring embedded processor technology based on either Arm® or RISC-V® architectures, our FPGAs offer the flexibility to design diverse, independent computing paths. This architectural dissimilarity is important in safety-critical aviation applications because it enables the system redundancy that enhances reliability, mitigates single points of failure and supports compliance with DO-254 and other stringent certification standards.

FPGA Ecosystem for Aviation

Achieving certification may require a robust support network. Our extensive partner ecosystem is here to assist you with DO-254 and DO-178 certification processes.
