In order to provide DO-254 compliant design services for the aerospace industry, Microsemi and eInfochips have announced their collaboration. Critical avionics systems builders can utilise the immunity to configuration upsets of Microsemi’s FPGA-based products, such as SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2, and the leading design practices deployed by eInfochips to improve design efficiency, reliability and performance.

Approximately 1,400-1,800 new commercial aeroplanes are expected to be manufactured each year between 2013 and 2032, according to market outlook reports from Airbus and Boeing. The collaboration will help as next generation avionics products aim to improve safety, speed and connectivity for aircraft platforms.

Ken O’Neill, Director of Marketing, Space and Aviation, Microsemi, commented: “Many of our aerospace customers are looking for ways to accelerate their product design. They seek reliable partners to supplement their expertise. Through our relationship with eInfochips, our customers can access proven DO-254 design experience for advanced, high performance, avionics systems using our highly reliable, low power FPGAs.”

“Our clients strive to achieve reliability for their products, to clear FAA audits with minimal findings. Microsemi’s FPGAs, such as the IGLOO2 family, with SEU immune fabric configuration cells, provide the reliability essential for DO-254 compliant systems,” added Parag Mehta, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer, eInfochips.
