Microchip’s innovative ProASIC3 nano devices bring a new level of value and flexibility to high-volume markets. When measured against the typical project metrics of performance, cost, flexibility, and time-to-market, ProASIC3 nano devices provide an attractive alternative to ASICs and ASSPs in fast-moving or highly competitive markets. Customer-driven total-system cost reduction was a key design criteria for the ProASIC3 nano program. Single-chip implementation and a broad selection of small footprint packages contribute to lower total system costs.
Key Features:
- More dynamic power savings
- More static power savings
- Single-chip, single-voltage operation and instant on
- Optimized for high performance
- Reprogrammable and nonvolatile
- 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage support
- Wide range of I/O voltage support from 1.2V
- Innovative Flash*Freeze technology for instantaneous switching from active to static mode
- Free Arm Cortex-M1 FPGA processor support for all devices
- In-System Programming (ISP) with optional on-chip AES decryption
- Immune to configuration loss due to atmospheric neutrons (firm errors)
- Available in military temperature grade

ProASIC3L FPGAs feature lower dynamic and static power requirements than the previous generation of ProASIC3 FPGAs, and lower power requirements by orders of magnitude than SRAM competitors, combining dramatically reduced power consumption with up to 350 MHz operation. The ProASIC3L family also supports the free implementation of an FPGA-optimized 32-bit ARM Cortex-M1 processor, enabling system designers to select the Microsemi flash FPGA solution that best meets their speed and power requirements, regardless of application or volume. Optimized software tools using power-driven layout (PDL) provide instant power reduction capabilities.
Kits and Hardware
- ProASIC 3 FPGA Kits
- Programmers and Adapters
ProASIC3 Starter Kit is a complete kit that includes a ProASIC3 starter kit board a Libero Silver software license and a FlashPro4 programmer.
This kit provides you with a complete solution for quickly evaluating and prototyping your design based on Arm Cortex-M1 core-enabled ProASIC 3L devices.
FlashPro5 offers high performance through USB 2.0 that supports Serial Peripheral Interconnect (SPI) and JTAG interfaces.
FlashPro4 is designed for JTAG programming of older Microchip FPGA families, including IGLOO, ProASIC3, SmartFusion, and Fusion. It is suitable for existing designs that do not require SPI Slave programming, advanced debugging, or high-speed programming
Silicon Sculptor 4 CE-compliant production device programmer works alongside Silicon Sculptor adapter modules to program the FPGA devices. It concurrently programs large FPGA parts without performance degradation.
