Secure Connectivity
Overview
Best in Class FPGAs for IoT Infrastructure
The IoT Infrastructure comprises complex connected systems in a variety of vertical market segments. Microsemi’s SoC FPGAs enable a wide variety of these complex systems to be deployed at the lowest power, smallest form factor and with the highest levels of security available in any FPGA family.
For more details about the attributes:
As hardware and software strategies evolve to accommodate the deployment of the Internet of Things and its supporting infrastructure, several concerns have to be addressed at the system level. These advanced systems are remote, increasingly compact, power conscious and offer an ideal gateway for malevolent hackers. Microsemi is the only company with a mainstream programmable logic portfolio that addresses all these concerns comprehensively. For the IoT infrastructure, the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs minimize power and offer small form factors without compromising on functionality and cost. These FPGAs also deploy best in class security solutions that prevents tampering, counterfeiting and installation of malicious code.
Applications
Factory Automation - Motor Control
A flexible motor control and monitoring solution that leverages the ARM® Cortex™-M3 and SmartFusion2 FPGA fabric. The fabric is used for faster parallel processing and the communications protocol in the microcontroller subsystem does not impact the motor control algorithm. This solution is ideal for high reliability, high RPM, brushless DC, stepper motors and more.
Cloud Based Communications Module
One of the major challenges in all IoT infrastructure products is security. Whether it involves M2M (machine to machine) communications, design and IP security or securing the hardware supply chain, Microsemi has the broadest security solutions available, including the flash-based SmartFusion2 with built-in scalable security.
Control Plane Interface
Although today’s embedded processors and application processor contain various I/Os, often for IoT infrastructure applications some protocols are not supported or additional I/Os are needed. The PCIe gen 2 endpoint in the SmartFusion2 is ideal for these I/O expansion applications.
Medical Health Monitor
The ARM Cortex-M3 and the MSS (Microcontroller Sub System) are an ideal platform for numerous IoT devices. The flash-based FPGA fabric provides flexibility, immunity to SEU and the highest possible reliability. All these features in the lowest power and small form factor packages.
