ProASIC3/E low-cost, low power flash FPGAs by Microsemi Corporation

Semiconductor Vendor with ARM Processor RTL license from ARM

Product Description

With up to 3 million system gates, the nonvolatile, single-chip ProASIC3/E families offer a breakthrough in price, performance, density and features for today's most demanding applications. Further, with the Cortex-M1 processor, the ARM-enabled ProASIC3 devices offer the benefits of reprogrammability and time to market at an ASIC-level unit cost.

The highly configurable Cortex-M1 processor operates at up to 72 MHz in Microsemi's flash-based, M1-enabled ProASIC3 FPGAs. Providing a good balance between size and speed for embedded applications, the core can be implemented in as few as 4300 tiles, roughly 20 percent of an M1A3P1000 ProASIC3 device. The free delivery of the Cortex-M1 processor for use in Microsemi's M1-enabled FPGAs provides system designers programmable flexibility and system-level integration, enabling the development of low-cost, high-performance systems. Microsemi will support the Cortex-M1 processor with its CoreConsole IP Deployment Platform, its SoftConsole program development environment, and Libero IDE – all available for free download from the Microsemi SoC Products Group website.
