MicroSD cards
Micron’s microSD Card Portfolio is specifically designed for industrial applications to enhance system performance by providing recording redundancy, optimising network load reduction, and lowering overall TCO.
Applications include Industrial Video Surveillance, Medical, IIoT, IPC, Small Board Computing, and Avionics.
The PolarFire SOC is the first system-on-chip (SoC) field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with a deterministic, coherent RISC-V CPU cluster and a deterministic L2 memory subsystem, enabling both Linux and real-time applications.
Built on the award-winning, mid-range, low-power PolarFire FPGA Architecture, PolarFire SoC devices deliver up to 50% lower power than alternative FPGA solutions, span from 25k to 460k logic elements (LEs) and feature 12.7G transceivers in all densities.
Offering NO compromise between low power and superior performance, the PolarFire SoC benefits are demonstrated by EEMBC CoreMark®-Pro published benchmarks.
Addressing Key Market Opportunities, PolarFire SoC is ideally suited for secure, power-efficient compute in industrial applications. Whether you need a RISC-V system with a small FPGA fabric to directly communicate with sensors and do latency-critical pre-processing in a DIN-rail based form factor or you are controlling several motors with deterministic low latency in a power-constrained environment, PolarFire SoC is an ideal candidate. The native support for asymmetric multi-processing (AMP) allows a simple and reliable partitioning between real-time bare-metal applications and a Linux operating system for e.g. communication and interfacing tasks.
The EVM3695-20-PJ-00A evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MPM3695-20, a fully integrated, high-efficiency, synchronous step-down power module with 25A of output current (IOUT).
