Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has announced a series of free hands-on workshops across North America in Q1 2018 for the new Avalanche board part# AVMPF300TS-01 featuring a Microsemi PolarFire™ non-volatile field programmable gate array (FPGA) with 300,000 logic elements (LEs).

Robert Miller, President of Future Electronics, congratulated the Future Electronics team for successfully organizing and delivering workshops for this breakthrough new board in cities across North America. With the Avalanche board, Future Electronics has lowered the barriers for designers to access the lowest power, cost-optimized mid-range density PolarFire FPGA family.

"Avalanche is the lowest-cost board available in the market for this innovative PolarFire technology," said Martin Bernier, Director of the Engineering Support Group for Future Electronics. "We believe industrial, medical, defense and communication customers will be excited about PolarFire FPGA's ability to deliver up to 50% lower power than other mid-range density devices."

Robert Miller founded Future Electronics in 1968, which ranks third in component sales worldwide and is the only component distributor with a globally integrated worldwide IT infrastructure.

Workshop participants will experience the easy-to-use latest software from Microsemi, Libero 2.0 tool flow, explore their debug capabilities, and sample a few of their advanced features. They will also receive a $50 discount coupon for the purchase of the Avalanche board equipped with a free one-year gold license agreement.

The Avalanche Seminar Series has already been presented in key markets across the United States and Canada, including Baltimore, Orlando, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Jose, Toronto, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Denver, Calgary, Bolton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg, with workshops still to come in the following cities:
