SoM2-MPF300T, System on Module (SoM), based on Microsemi PolarFire FPGA MPF300T-1FCG784E

SoM2 is a System on a Module using the powerful, low-power, and high-security PolarFire FPGA from Microsemi. It is based on the MPF300T-1FCG784E  FPGA with a small footprint, low power and high security.  With its relatively low cost, it can be suitable for applications where pricing is important.  The module includes 4GB of  DDR4 memory at 1600Mb/s. The use of Sundance SOMs in your design can remove much complexity from the development and increases the success rate and decreases time to market.  The module is compatible with some SoMs from Trenz and can be used on their SOM carrier card. PolarFire FPGAs offer design security with transceivers, low power transceiver devices, data security with transceivers, and low power data security with transceiver devices. All PolarFire FPGAs are integrated with multi-protocol industry-leading low-power transceivers. Low power (L) devices provide up to 35% lower static power. Also, data security (S) devices have an integrated DPA-safe crypto accelerator. PolarFire Devices are currently offered in Extended Commercial (0ºC to 100ºC) and Industrial (–40ºC to 100ºC) device offerings. The Libero SoC PolarFire Design Suite delivers a number of many soft IP cores, including a RISC-V processor, Data Security, Ethernet, DES encryption, error detection and correction, and more. This helps kick start many development projects and reduces time to market.

SE200 PCIe SOM carrier can be sued for development or as an embedded carrier.

SOM2 and SOM1 have a small footprint of 76 x 52 mm.
