Today’s video and imaging processing involves developing complex computer algorithms which enable systems to capture and display information and high-resolution images. As designers require high-performance computing, memory and connectivity resources to achieve high-resolution imaging with rich, vivid detail, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are excellent platforms to achieve this, as they can perform thousands of tasks in parallel to maximize data throughput. The new PolarFire™ FPGA imaging and video solution from Microchip, addresses these challenges by delivering capabilities superior to alternative technologies to support resolution as high as 4K in small, low-power form factors necessary for a wide variety of imaging and video applications.
Key Specifications:
Cost-optimized Architecture
