Microsemi’s PolarFire FPGA wins award in China

Microsemi’s PolarFire field programmable gate array (FPGA) family is the recipient of China Electronic Market (CEM) magazine’s 2017 Editor’s Choice Award.

Microsemi’s FPGA family was recognised 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 recognised 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.”

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.
