CPLD class small FPGA

Is there a demand for small-scale FPGAs?

 

"ProASIC3" is the best.

 

This product is Microchip's non-volatile small FPGA.

Offering scales from 100 to 35K Logic Elements (LEs), they excel in cost of scale and low power consumption.

It is ideal for a wide range of applications including consumer and industrial equipment, military and aircraft, and automotive.

 

ProASIC3 has four families.

・Pro ASIC3

・Pro ASIC3E

・Pro ASIC3 nano

・ProASIC3L

Features of ProASIC3

■ ProASIC3, ProASIC3E

・Low power consumption and space saving

Ideal for applications such as portable equipment.

- Low power consumption due to non-volatile process

- Reduces power consumption by up to 50% compared to competing FPGAs

- Eliminate extra BOM costs such as fans and heat sinks

- Save space and reduce BOM cost by not requiring configuration ROM

 

・Instant ON

   Perfect for responsive applications.

- Immediate startup without configuration unlike SRAM FPGA

 

・High reliability with strong soft error tolerance

Suitable for high altitude and high reliability applications.

- Neutron radiation effects not detected

  

・Automotive T and military M temperature grades

   Suitable for automotive applications.

- Grade 1: –40°C to 125°C TA (135°C TJ)

- Grade 2: –40°C to 105°C TA (115°C TJ)

   Perfect for military applications.

- M grade: –55°C to 125°C TJ

 

■ ProASIC3 nano (nano)

Small package

Ideal for anti-vibration applications and small enclosures.

- Minimum 6 × 6 mm package

 

■ ProASIC3L (L)

・Even lower power consumption than ProASIC3/E

Ideal for battery-powered applications, etc.

- Dynamic Power Consumption -40%, Static Power Consumption -50%

- Flash*Freeze technology shuts off dynamic power instantly

Differences from the IGLOO family

Compared to the IGLOO family, the ProASIC3 family

Supports temperature grades “T” (automotive) and “M” (military)

・Supports speed grades "Std", "-1" and "-2"

Flash*Freeze technology supports only ProASIC3L

doing.
