Ideal for replacing CPLDs of other companies

Are you troubled by the discontinuation of CPLDs/small-scale FPGAs from other companies?

It's not uncommon for your CPLD/Small FPGA to face discontinuation.
In that case, it seems that most of the cases are replaced with CPLD/FPGA with equivalent specifications.
But is that solution really satisfying?
In addition, production is soon discontinued, and due to the diversification of required functions, device specifications are insufficient and revisions are forced. . .
Anxiety is normal, right?

Would you like to solve such problems with "SmartFusion2"?

Therefore, this time we will introduce"​SmartFusion2" equipped with ARM Cortex-M3 processor.
By adding an embedded processor to the FPGA, we can expect to increase the added value of the system and extend the product life even further!

In addition to the Cortex-M3 processor, this product is a small SoC FPGA with 5K to 150K logic elements (LEs) and embedded flash memory.

Furthermore, due to the following features, it can be used in a wide range of applications such as portable equipment and automotive equipment as well as industrial equipment.

Features of SmartFusion2

① 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor

　 Optimal for high-performance systems.

 　​-Able to operate at 166MHz with hard macro 

 　- Rich peripherals

Support Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) 10/100/1000Mbps MAC, USB2.0, etc.

② Low power consumption, space saving

Ideal for applications such as portable equipment.　

 　- Low power consumption due to non-volatile process

 　-Up to 50% less power consumption 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

(3) High reliability due to strong soft error tolerance

　 Suitable for high altitude and high reliability applications. 

    ​-Neutron radiation effects not detected

④ Compact package, QFP lineup 

　 Ideal for applications requiring vibration resistance and small housings.　

​-Minimum 11×11 mm package　

    - Lineup of 144-pin QFP

⑤ T2 temperature grade

　 Suitable for automotive applications.

   -T2 grade: –40°C to 125°C (junction temperature)

⑥ Security

　 Perfect for IoT gateway.

    ​-Design security (supports confidentiality of bitstream keys, prevention of design changes due to unauthorized access, tamper resistance, etc.)

    -Data security (supports SHA-256, AES-256, etc.)

⑦ FlashFreeze

　 Ideal for applications such as portable devices and IoT gateways.

    - Extremely low static power (7.5 mW) achieved by 'stopping' with FlashFreeze technology.

(for 6,060 LE devices)
