ALISO VIEJO, Calif.,
March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading
provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power,
security, reliability and performance, today announced it was
honored with a "2017 Product of the Year" award from Electronic
Products China (EPC) and 21ic.com for its lowest power,
cost-optimized mid-range PolarFire® field programmable gate array
(FPGA).
The editorial teams at EPC and 21ic jointly screened and
selected the 20 best products from more than 100 product launch
announcements they received throughout the year. The winners were
selected on the basis of outstanding performance of the product,
specifically on technology and features, usability and how the
product meets the needs and requirements of related applications in
the market.
"We are excited to be recognized by Electronic Products China's
'2017 Product of the Year' award, as the magazine recognizes the
unique features of our cost-effective, lowest power, highly secure
and reliable mid-range PolarFire FPGAs," said Shakeel Peera, vice president of product
marketing at Microsemi. "This prestigious award not only validates
our leadership in delivering a truly innovative FPGA product family
that transforms the way the market thinks about traditional
mid-range FPGAs, but also acknowledges the relevance of PolarFire
in the Chinese integrated circuits market, which greatly values the
total cost of ownership and low power facets of this family."
The 2017 Product of the Year Awards were announced in the
March 2018 issue of EPC Magazine and
on 21ic's website,
http://www.21ic.com/wz/CRXDQWHFA/20180201/20180201.html. This
prestigious award adds to the separate Electronic Products 2017
Product of the Year award Microsemi's PolarFire FPGA family
received in January 2018.
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 product
family features 12.7 Gbps transceivers and offer 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 cellular 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 GPIO enables numerous 1Gbps Ethernet links to be
supported. PolarFire FPGAs also contain the most hardened security
intellectual property (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
