Microsemi Corporation

The current €50,000 scholarship programme by Microsemi Corporation, for University of Limerick engineering students living in County Clare, where the company has its European headquarters in Ennis, Ireland is being renewed. In addition, the company announced its new “Microsemi Women in Engineering” scholarship and first award recipient.

Accelerating time-to-market and lowering total cost of ownership, Microsemi and TRINAMIC Motion Control have announced the availability of a plugfest-tested EtherCAT IP and chip solution for SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs. The solution offers scalability, low power, security and TRINAMIC’s customisation and integration services for Microsemi’s FPGAs.

Microsemi Corporation announced it has doubled the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) client capacity of its TimeProvider 2700 PTP grandmaster (GM) clock that provides synchronization to LTE Networks. The TimeProvider 2700 now provides simultaneous hardware time stamping support of up to 128 PTP clients, resulting in a significant cost benefit using a single GM clock.

Microsemi Corporation announced availability of its SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA dual-axis motor control kit with a modular motor control IP suite and reference design. The kit, which simplifies motor control designs using a single SoC FPGA, accelerates time to market and is scalable across multiple industries such as industrial, aerospace and defense. Typical applications include factory and process automation, robotics, transportation, avionics and defense motor control platforms. The SoC integration of system functions helps to lower total cost of ownership.
