The ProASIC3L family of Microsemi flash FPGAs dramatically reduces dynamic power consumption by40% and static power by 50% compared to the equivalent ProASIC3 device. These power savings arecoupled with performance, density, true single-chip, 1.2 V to 1.5 V core and I/O operation as low as1.2 V, reprogrammability, and advanced features.
Using Microsemi’s proven Flash*Freeze technology enables users to shut off dynamic powerinstantaneously and switch the device to static mode without the need to switch off clocks or powersupplies while retaining internal states of the device. This greatly simplifies power management on aboard done through I/Os and clocks. In addition, optimized software tools using power-driven layoutprovide instant push-button power reduction.
Nonvolatile flash technology gives ProASIC3L devices the advantage of being a secure, low-power,single-chip solution that is Instant On. ProASIC3L offers dramatic dynamic power savings giving theFPGA users flexibility to combine low power with high performance.
These features enable designers to create high-density systems using existing ASIC or FPGA designflows and tools.ProASIC3L devices offer 1 kbit of on-chip, reprogrammable, nonvolatile FlashROM storage as well asclock conditioning circuitry (CCC) based on an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL). ProASIC3L devicessupport devices from 250 k system gates to 3 million system gates with up to 504 kbits of true dual...
