ProASIC3E Flash Family FPGAs
Introduction and Overview
General Description
ProASIC3E, the third-generation family of Actel Flash
FPGAs, offers performance, density, and features beyond
those of the ProASIC
PLUS®
family. The nonvolatile Flash
technology gives ProASIC3E devices the advantage of
being a secure, low-power, single-chip solution that is
live at power-up. 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, user
nonvolatile FlashROM (FROM) memory storage as well as
clock conditioning circuitry based on six integrated
phase-locked loops (PLLs). ProASIC3E devices have up to
3 million system gates, supported with up to 504 kbits of
true dual-port SRAM and up to 616 user I/Os.
Security
The nonvolatile, Flash-based ProASIC3E devices require
no 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 secure programmed intellectual
property and configuration data. In addition, all FROM
data in the 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 allow 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. The
contents of a programmed ProASIC3E device cannot be
read back, although secure design verification is possible.
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. ProASIC3E, with
FlashLock and AES security, is unique in being highly
resistant to both invasive and noninvasive attacks. Your
valuable IP is protected and secure, making remote ISP
possible. A ProASIC3E device provides the most
impenetrable security for programmable logic designs.
Flash Advantages
Reduced Cost of Ownership
Advantages to the designer extend beyond low-unit
cost, performance, and ease of use. Unlike SRAM-based
FPGAs, the Flash-based ProASIC3E devices allow for all
functionality to be live at power-up; 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.
