The ACTEL MPF300T-FCSG536I is a PolarFire family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microsemi / Microchip, delivering 300,000 logic elements on a 28nm flash-based process with industry-leading power efficiency at mid-range densities. The "FCSG536I" suffix identifies the 536-pin FCBGA package and industrial temperature rating of –40°C to +85°C. As the flagship mid-range device in the PolarFire family, the MPF300T combines high logic density, high-speed transceiver capability, and best-in-class security in a nonvolatile, SEU-immune architecture that requires no external boot device or configuration memory.
Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs, the ACTEL MPF300T-FCSG536I retains its configuration permanently after programming and consumes up to 50% less power in both static and dynamic operation. It integrates up to five 12.7 Gbps SERDES transceivers supporting PCIe Gen2, SGMII, JESD204B, and other high-speed protocols, alongside a rich DSP engine, embedded SRAM blocks, and DPA-resistant 256-bit AES security with SHA-256 authentication. Supported by Microsemi's Libero SoC PolarFire design suite, the ACTEL MPF300T-FCSG536I is an ideal platform for wireline communications, defense, avionics, industrial automation, and IoT gateway applications.

MPF300T-FCSG536I vs Competing Mid-Range FPGAs: Power, Security, and Reliability
Where SRAM-based mid-range FPGAs require external configuration flash, consume higher static power, and are vulnerable to SEU-induced configuration upsets, the ACTEL MPF300T-FCSG536I addresses all three limitations in a single device. Its flash-based nonvolatile architecture eliminates the external boot chain, SEU immunity removes the need for configuration scrubbing in radiation-sensitive environments, and the integrated DPA-resistant security subsystem provides a level of hardware security that SRAM-based alternatives cannot match without additional external components. Supported by Microsemi’s Libero SoC PolarFire design suite, the MPF300T-FCSG536I integrates seamlessly into existing FPGA design flows.
