ProASIC3 Flash Family FPGAs With Optional Soft ARM® Support

ProASIC3, the third-generation family of Actel Flash FPGAs A3P015 A3P030 A3P060 A3P125 A3P250 A3P400 A3P600 A3P1000 M7A3P1000 M1A3P250 M1A3P400 M1A3P600 M1A3P1000 , offers performance, density, and features beyond those of the ProASICPLUS family. Nonvolatile Flash technology gives ProASIC3 devices the advantage of being a secure, low-power, single-chip solution that is live at power-up (LAPU). ProASIC3 is reprogrammable and offers time-to-market benefits at an ASIC-level unit cost. These features enable designers to create high-density systems using existing ASIC or FPGA design flows and tools. ProASIC3 devices offer 1 kbit of on-chip, reprogrammable, nonvolatile FlashROM storage as well as Clock conditioning circuitry based on an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL). The A3P015 and A3P030 devices have no PLL or RAM support. ProASIC3 devices have up to 1 million system Gates supported with up to 144 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and up to 300 user I/Os. ProASIC3 devices support the ARM7 soft IP core and Cortex-M1 devices. The ARM-enabled devices have Actel ordering numbers that begin with M7A3P (CoreMP7) and M1A3P (Cortex-M1) and do not support AES decryption. By Actel Corporation
