<span class="xn-location">ALISO VIEJO, Calif.</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Jan. 9, 2018</span> /PRNewswire/ --<b> Microsemi Corporation </b>(Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, and <a href="http://www.futureelectronics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Future Electronics</b></a>, a global leading distributor of electronic components, today announced the availability of the <a href="http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Technologies/Product.aspx?ProductID=AVMPF300TS01FUTUREELECTRONICSDEVTOOLS4091879&IM=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Avalanche board</a> featuring a Microsemi <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/polarfire" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PolarFire</a><sup>®</sup> non-volatile field programmable gate array (FPGA). As the lowest cost entry development board available today for designing with Microsemi's lowest power, cost-optimized mid-range PolarFire FPGAs, Future's Avalanche board lowers the barrier to entry for PolarFire FPGAs and helps expand Microsemi's market opportunities for the device. </p>
<p>The Avalanche development board includes a RISC-V-based soft central processing unit (CPU) pre-programmed to the kit, offering a RISC-V-based board for low cost broad market applications utilizing RISC-V open instruction set architectures (ISAs) at mid-range densities. This supports the ongoing expansion of Microsemi's recently announced <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/design-resources/design-software/embedded-ecosystem" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mi-V</a><sup>™</sup> ecosystem, which brings together industry leaders involved in the development of RISC-V to leverage their capabilities and streamline RISC-V designs for customers. </p>
<p>"The availability of Future Electronics' Avalanche board delivers customers the best value for a mid-range density FPGA development board featuring our PolarFire FPGAs," said Ted Marena, director of FPGA marketing for Microsemi. "With <span class="xn-money">300K</span> logic elements (LEs), a Wi-Fi module, 1000 Base-T and numerous expansion connectors, engineers can quickly prototype their ideas at minimal cost. Future Electronics has not only lowered the cost to adopt PolarFire FPGAs, but it is also enabling customers to develop solutions leveraging the power of Microsemi's Mi-V ecosystem and the open RISC-V ISA."</p>
<p>Future Electronics' Avalanche development board also features serial flash memory, double data rate type three (DDR3) DRAM and a Microsemi <a href="https://dev.microsemi.com/index.php?option=com_microsemi&Itemid=467&id=3901&lang=en&view=subcat" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">VSC8531</a> triple speed PHY powered by Microsemi's <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/existing-parts/parts/978" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LX7167</a> 2.4A hysteretic step-down regulator, making the platform ideal for developing several applications within the <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">industrial</a> market, including <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial/industrial-ethernet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">industrial internet of things (IoT)</a>, secured wired communications, Gb Ethernet bridging and <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/imaging" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">imaging</a>. It also offers industry-standard connectors <span class="xn-person">Arduino Shield</span>, mikroBUS and a Peripheral Module (Pmod) interface. These three expansion headers allow for the use of additional boards to implement an expanded set of applications including <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial/industrial-imaging" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">infrared, thermal imaging</a>, industrial cameras, <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial/hmi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">touch screen</a> and other wireless interfaces. </p>
<p>"As the newest addition to our family of development boards, the Avalanche board offers the lowest cost platform available in the market for Microsemi's innovative PolarFire technology," said <span class="xn-person">Martin Bernier</span>, director of the Engineering Support Group for Future Electronics. "We believe industrial, medical, defense and communication customers will be excited about PolarFire FPGA's ability to deliver up to 50 percent lower power than other mid-range density devices." </p>
<p>The increasing cost of manufacturing applications with specific input/outputs (I/Os) and interfaces means producing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and processors optimized for every device scenario is becoming unsustainable. This is especially true as both IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) drive interconnect and networking complexity. In many markets, especially wired communications, industrial and <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/applications/automotive" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">automotive</a>, FPGAs and other configurable logic solutions are increasingly relied on to fill the gap—solving throughput, security and interface challenges, while their flexibility drives down overall cost associated with supporting product line diversity. Because of this, <span class="xn-person">Tom Hackenberg</span>, embedded processors principal analyst at IHS Markit, predicts strong renewed FPGA growth in these markets with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ranging from just under 6 percent to over 10 percent from 2016 to 2021.</p>
<p>Microsemi's PolarFire FPGA devices provide cost-effective bandwidth processing capabilities with the lowest power footprint. They feature 12.7 Gbps transceivers and offer up to 50 percent <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/low-power" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lower power</a> than competing mid-range FPGAs, and include hardened PCIe controller cores with both endpoints and root port modes available, as well as low power transceivers. The company's <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/design-resources/dev-kits/polarfire/polarfire-eval-kit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PolarFire Evaluation Kit</a> is a comprehensive alternative platform for evaluating its PolarFire FPGAs which includes a PCIe edge connector with four lanes and a <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=136594" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">demonstration design</a>. The kit features a high-pin-count (HPC) FPGA mezzanine card (FMC), a single full-duplex lane of surface mount assemblies (SMAs), PCIe x4 fingers, dual Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 and a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module. </p>

<p>
<span class="xn-location">ALISO VIEJO, Calif.</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Jan. 9, 2018</span> /PRNewswire/ --<b> Microsemi Corporation </b>(Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, and <a href="http://www.futureelectronics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Future Electronics</b></a>, a global leading distributor of electronic components, today announced the availability of the <a href="http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Technologies/Product.aspx?ProductID=AVMPF300TS01FUTUREELECTRONICSDEVTOOLS4091879&IM=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Avalanche board</a> featuring a Microsemi <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/polarfire" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PolarFire</a><sup>®</sup> non-volatile field programmable gate array (FPGA). As the lowest cost entry development board available today for designing with Microsemi's lowest power, cost-optimized mid-range PolarFire FPGAs, Future's Avalanche board lowers the barrier to entry for PolarFire FPGAs and helps expand Microsemi's market opportunities for the device. </p>
<p>The Avalanche development board includes a RISC-V-based soft central processing unit (CPU) pre-programmed to the kit, offering a RISC-V-based board for low cost broad market applications utilizing RISC-V open instruction set architectures (ISAs) at mid-range densities. This supports the ongoing expansion of Microsemi's recently announced <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/design-resources/design-software/embedded-ecosystem" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mi-V</a><sup>™</sup> ecosystem, which brings together industry leaders involved in the development of RISC-V to leverage their capabilities and streamline RISC-V designs for customers. </p>
<p>"The availability of Future Electronics' Avalanche board delivers customers the best value for a mid-range density FPGA development board featuring our PolarFire FPGAs," said Ted Marena, director of FPGA marketing for Microsemi. "With <span class="xn-money">300K</span> logic elements (LEs), a Wi-Fi module, 1000 Base-T and numerous expansion connectors, engineers can quickly prototype their ideas at minimal cost. Future Electronics has not only lowered the cost to adopt PolarFire FPGAs, but it is also enabling customers to develop solutions leveraging the power of Microsemi's Mi-V ecosystem and the open RISC-V ISA."</p>
<p>Future Electronics' Avalanche development board also features serial flash memory, double data rate type three (DDR3) DRAM and a Microsemi <a href="https://dev.microsemi.com/index.php?option=com_microsemi&Itemid=467&id=3901&lang=en&view=subcat" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">VSC8531</a> triple speed PHY powered by Microsemi's <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/existing-parts/parts/978" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LX7167</a> 2.4A hysteretic step-down regulator, making the platform ideal for developing several applications within the <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">industrial</a> market, including <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial/industrial-ethernet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">industrial internet of things (IoT)</a>, secured wired communications, Gb Ethernet bridging and <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/imaging" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">imaging</a>. It also offers industry-standard connectors <span class="xn-person">Arduino Shield</span>, mikroBUS and a Peripheral Module (Pmod) interface. These three expansion headers allow for the use of additional boards to implement an expanded set of applications including <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial/industrial-imaging" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">infrared, thermal imaging</a>, industrial cameras, <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/applications/industrial/hmi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">touch screen</a> and other wireless interfaces. </p>
<p>"As the newest addition to our family of development boards, the Avalanche board offers the lowest cost platform available in the market for Microsemi's innovative PolarFire technology," said <span class="xn-person">Martin Bernier</span>, director of the Engineering Support Group for Future Electronics. "We believe industrial, medical, defense and communication customers will be excited about PolarFire FPGA's ability to deliver up to 50 percent lower power than other mid-range density devices." </p>
<p>The increasing cost of manufacturing applications with specific input/outputs (I/Os) and interfaces means producing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and processors optimized for every device scenario is becoming unsustainable. This is especially true as both IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) drive interconnect and networking complexity. In many markets, especially wired communications, industrial and <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/applications/automotive" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">automotive</a>, FPGAs and other configurable logic solutions are increasingly relied on to fill the gap—solving throughput, security and interface challenges, while their flexibility drives down overall cost associated with supporting product line diversity. Because of this, <span class="xn-person">Tom Hackenberg</span>, embedded processors principal analyst at IHS Markit, predicts strong renewed FPGA growth in these markets with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ranging from just under 6 percent to over 10 percent from 2016 to 2021.</p>
<p>Microsemi's PolarFire FPGA devices provide cost-effective bandwidth processing capabilities with the lowest power footprint. They feature 12.7 Gbps transceivers and offer up to 50 percent <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/low-power" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lower power</a> than competing mid-range FPGAs, and include hardened PCIe controller cores with both endpoints and root port modes available, as well as low power transceivers. The company's <a href="https://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/design-resources/dev-kits/polarfire/polarfire-eval-kit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PolarFire Evaluation Kit</a> is a comprehensive alternative platform for evaluating its PolarFire FPGAs which includes a PCIe edge connector with four lanes and a <a href="http://www.microsemi.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=136594" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">demonstration design</a>. The kit features a high-pin-count (HPC) FPGA mezzanine card (FMC), a single full-duplex lane of surface mount assemblies (SMAs), PCIe x4 fingers, dual Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 and a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module. </p>
