PolarFire®	Award-winning PolarFire® FPGAs deliver the industry’s lowest power at midrange densities with exceptional security and reliability. This family of products spans from 100K Logic Elements (LEs) to 500K LEs, features 12.7G transceivers and offers up to 50% lower power than competing midrange FPGAs. Get started with your design today by downloading the Libero® SoC PolarFire Design Suite and ordering a PolarFire FPGA development kit that best matches your needs. For more information, see PolarFire.
IGLOO® 2	IGLOO® 2 Flash FPGA devices are ideal for general purpose functions such as Gigabit Ethernet or dual PCI Express® control planes, bridging functions, input/output (I/O) expansion and conversion, video/image processing, system management and secure connectivity. They are used in applications for the communications, industrial, medical, defense and aviation markets. For more information, see IGLOO 2.
IGLOO®	The IGLOO® series of ultra-low density FPGAs includes the IGLOO/e, IGLOO nano and IGLOO PLUS families of devices. As the industry's lowest-power FPGAs, IGLOO FPGA families are designed to meet the low-power and small-footprint requirements of today's portable and power-conscious electronics. The low-power IGLOO FPGA series supports up to 35K Logic Elements (LEs) with up to 504 Kb of true dual-port SRAM, up to six embedded PLLs and up to 620 user I/Os. If your low-power application requires 32-bit processing, you can use the Arm® Cortex®-M1 processor that is available with IGLOO M1 devices without license fees or royalties. For more information, see IGLOO.
ProASIC® 3	The ProASIC® 3 series of FPGAs, which includes the ProASIC 3e, ProASIC 3 nano and ProASIC 3L families, offers a breakthrough in performance, density and features for today's most demanding high-volume applications. ProASIC 3 FPGAs support the Arm® Cortex®-M1 soft processor IP core, offering the benefits of programmability and time-to-market. The ProASIC 3 FPGA families are based on nonvolatile Flash technology and support 100 to 35K Logic Elements (LEs) and up to 620 I/Os. For more information, see ProASIC 3.
Fusion	Fusion mixed-signal FPGAs integrate configurable analog, large Flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation and management circuitry and high-performance, Flash-based programmable logic in a monolithic device. You can use the innovative Fusion FPGA architecture with our soft microcontroller (MCU) core and the performance-maximized 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M1 processor. You can also use Pigeon Point devices (P1-prefixed devices) in conjunction with Pigeon Point ATCA IP cores and firmware. Fusion devices are the world's first mixed-signal FPGA platform. In addition to supporting commercial- and industrial-temperature devices, we offer Fusion FPGAs with specialized screening for extended temperature applications. For more information, see Fusion.

PolarFire® SoC	The PolarFire® SoC FPGA family delivers a combination of low power consumption, thermal efficiency and defense-grade security for smart, connected systems. It is the first System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA with a deterministic, coherent RISC-V CPU cluster and a deterministic L2 memory subsystem for creating Linux® and real-time applications. PolarFire SoC FPGAs span from 25K to 460K Logic Elements (LEs) and feature 12.7 Gb/s transceivers. For more information, see PolarFire SoC.
SmartFusion® 2	SmartFusion® 2 Flash FPGA devices are ideal for general purpose functions such as Gigabit Ethernet or dual PCI Express® control planes, bridging functions, input/output (I/O) expansion and conversion, video/image processing, system management and secure connectivity. They are used a variety of applications in the communications, industrial, medical, defense and aviation markets. For more information, see SmartFusion 2.
SmartFusion®	SmartFusion® System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGAs are the only devices that integrate an FPGA fabric, Arm® Cortex®-M3 processor, and programmable analog circuitry, Offering the benefits of full customization and IP protection while still being easy to use. Based on a proprietary Flash process, SmartFusion SoC FPGAs are excellent for hardware and embedded designers who need a true SoC solution that gives more flexibility than traditional fixed-function microcontrollers without the excessive cost of soft processor cores on traditional FPGAs. For more information, see SmartFusion.
