Military ProASIC3/EL Device Family Overview

1-6

Revision 3

User Nonvolatile FlashROM

Military ProASIC3/EL devices have 1 kbit of on-chip, user-accessible, nonvolatile FlashROM. The

FlashROM can be used in diverse system applications:

•

Internet protocol addressing (wireless or fixed)

•

System calibration settings

•

Device serialization and/or inventory control

•

Subscription-based business models (for example, set-top boxes)

•

Secure key storage for secure communications algorithms

•

Asset management/tracking

•

Date stamping

•

Version management

FlashROM is written using the standard military ProASIC3/EL IEEE 1532 JTAG programming interface.

The core can be individually programmed (erased and written), and on-chip AES decryption can be used

selectively to securely load data over public networks, as in security keys stored in the FlashROM for a

user design.

FlashROM can be programmed via the JTAG programming interface, and its contents can be read back

either through the JTAG programming interface or via direct FPGA core addressing. Note that the

FlashROM can only be programmed from the JTAG interface and cannot be programmed from the

internal logic array.

FlashROM is programmed as 8 banks of 128 bits; however, reading is performed on a byte-by-byte basis

using a synchronous interface. A 7-bit address from the FPGA core defines which of the 8 banks and

which of the 16 bytes within that bank are being read. The three most significant bits (MSBs) of the

FlashROM address determine the bank, and the four least significant bits (LSBs) of the FlashROM

address define the byte.

Microsemi military ProASIC3/EL development software solutions, Libero IDE and Designer, have

extensive support for the FlashROM. One such feature is auto-generation of sequential programming

files for applications requiring a unique serial number in each part. Another feature allows the inclusion of

static data for system version control. Data for the FlashROM can be generated quickly and easily using

Libero IDE and Designer software tools. Comprehensive programming file support is also included to

allow for easy programming of large numbers of parts with differing FlashROM contents.

SRAM and FIFO

Military ProASIC3/EL devices have embedded SRAM blocks along their north and south sides. Each

variable-aspect-ratio SRAM block is 4,608 bits in size. Available memory configurations are 256×18,

512×9, 1k×4, 2k×2, and 4k×1 bits. The individual blocks have independent read and write ports that can

be configured with different bit widths on each port. For example, data can be sent through a 4-bit port

and read as a single bitstream. The embedded SRAM blocks can be initialized via the device JTAG port

(ROM emulation mode) using the UJTAG macro.

In addition, every SRAM block has an embedded FIFO control unit. The control unit allows the SRAM

block to be configured as a synchronous FIFO without using additional core VersaTiles. The FIFO width

and depth are programmable. The FIFO also features programmable Almost Empty (AEMPTY) and

Almost Full (AFULL) flags in addition to the normal Empty and Full flags. The embedded FIFO control

unit contains the counters necessary for generation of the read and write address pointers. The

embedded SRAM/FIFO blocks can be cascaded to create larger configurations.

PLL and CCC

Military ProASIC3 devices provide designers with flexible clock conditioning circuit (CCC) capabilities.

Each member of the military ProASIC3 family contains six CCCs, located at the four corners and the

centers of the east and west sides. One CCC (center west side) has a PLL. All six CCC blocks are

usable; the four corner CCCs and the east CCC allow simple clock delay operations as well as clock

spine access.

Military ProASIC3EL devices also contain six CCCs; however, all six are equipped with a PLL.

The inputs of the six CCC blocks are accessible from the FPGA core or from one of several inputs

located near the CCC that have dedicated connections to the CCC block.
