1 – ProASIC3E Device Family Overview
General Description
ProASIC3E, the third-generation family of Microsemi flash FPGAs, offers performance, density, and
features beyond those of the ProASICPLUS® family. Nonvolatile flash technology gives ProASIC3E
devices the advantage of being a secure, low power, single-chip solution that is Instant On. ProASIC3E 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.
ProASIC3E devices offer 1 kbit of on-chip, programmable, nonvolatile FlashROM storage as well as
clock conditioning circuitry based on six integrated phase-locked loops (PLLs). ProASIC3E devices have
up to three million system gates, supported with up to 504 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and up to 620
user I/Os.
Several ProASIC3E devices support the Cortex-M1 soft IP cores, and the ARM-Enabled devices have
Microsemi ordering numbers that begin with M1A3PE.
Flash Advantages
Reduced Cost of Ownership
Advantages to the designer extend beyond low unit cost, performance, and ease of use. Unlike SRAM-
based FPGAs, flash-based ProASIC3E devices allow all functionality to be Instant On; no external boot
PROM is required. On-board security mechanisms prevent access to all the programming information
and enable secure remote updates of the FPGA logic. Designers can perform secure remote in-system
reprogramming to support future design iterations and field upgrades with confidence that valuable
intellectual property (IP) cannot be compromised or copied. Secure ISP can be performed using the
industry-standard AES algorithm. The ProASIC3E family device architecture mitigates the need for ASIC
migration at higher user volumes. This makes the ProASIC3E family a cost-effective ASIC replacement
solution, especially for applications in the consumer, networking/ communications, computing, and
avionics markets.
Security
The nonvolatile, flash-based ProASIC3E devices do not require a boot PROM, so there is no vulnerable
external bitstream that can be easily copied. ProASIC3E devices incorporate FlashLock, which provides
a unique combination of reprogrammability and design security without external overhead, advantages
that only an FPGA with nonvolatile flash programming can offer.
ProASIC3E devices utilize a 128-bit flash-based lock and a separate AES key to provide the highest level
of protection in the FPGA industry for programmed intellectual property and configuration data. In
addition, all FlashROM data in ProASIC3E devices can be encrypted prior to loading, using the industry-
leading AES-128 (FIPS192) bit block cipher encryption standard. The AES standard was adopted by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2000 and replaces the 1977 DES standard.
ProASIC3E devices have a built-in AES decryption engine and a flash-based AES key that make them
the most comprehensive programmable logic device security solution available today. ProASIC3E
devices with AES-based security provide a high level of protection for secure, remote field updates over
public networks such as the Internet, and ensure that valuable IP remains out of the hands of system
overbuilders, system cloners, and IP thieves.
Security, built into the FPGA fabric, is an inherent component of the ProASIC3E family. The flash cells
are located beneath seven metal layers, and many device design and layout techniques have been used
to make invasive attacks extremely difficult. The ProASIC3E family, with FlashLock and AES security, is
unique in being highly resistant to both invasive and noninvasive attacks. Your valuable IP is protected
with industry-standard security, making remote ISP possible. A ProASIC3E device provides the best
available security for programmable logic designs.
