Actel, the world’s leading supplier of high-reliability FPGAs, now offers the

industry’s broadest automotive product portfolio

that addresses the unique

needs of vehicle designers. FPGAs are being used today in under-the-hood
powertrain systems, occupant safety applications, and a variety of control functions.
Actel’s Automotive FPGAs deliver an optimal combination of features and
benefits to automotive designers. Automotive antifuse technology provides the
highest security and reliability in the industry. Automotive flash devices offer
reprogrammability in a cost-effective, nonvolatile device, speeding time-to-market
and reducing design costs.

Designed for Extreme Conditions

Actel has developed a comprehensive product portfolio targeted at the demanding
requirements of the automotive design community. Based on popular antifuse and
flash product offerings, Actel Automotive silicon provides new choices for advanced
automotive systems. Actel’s Automotive product families cover a wide range of
densities, voltages, and features to enable rapid development for cost-sensitive
products. The new ProASIC

3 T-Grade automotive temperature offering from Actel

supports -40°C to +135°C junction temperatures and is ideal for high-reliability
automotive powertrain and safety applications.

Actel’s Automotive family of FPGAs is fully

supported by Actel Libero

Integrated Design Environment (IDE) and

Actel Designer FPGA development software. Actel Designer software

provides a comprehensive suite of backend development tools for FPGA

development. The Designer software includes timing-driven place-

and-route, an integrated static timing analyzer and constraints editor,

a design netlist schematic viewer, and SmartPower, a tool that enables

the user to quickly estimate the power consumption in a design.

Libero IDE provides an integrated design manager that seamlessly

integrates design tools while guiding the user through the design flow,

managing all design and log files, and passing necessary design data

among tools. Libero IDE includes Synplify

Programming support is provided through Actel’s

Silicon Sculptor 3, a single-site programmer driven via a PC-based GUI.

Programming with Silicon Sculptor 3 is as easy as pushing a button.

Flash-based devices can be programmed using Silicon Sculptor 3,

Actel’s low-cost FlashPro3 USB-based programmer, or via in-system

programming. In addition, for in-system programming, Actel

provides C-code examples (DirectC) to help speed development of

embedded programming code. There is minimal interaction between

the device programmer and the designer, which reduces the chances

of error. Factory programming is also available for high-volume

production needs.

V E R I F I C A T I O N

Silicon Explorer II is an integrated hardware and

software solution that, in conjunction with the Designer software

tools, enables designers to examine any of the internal nodes of an

antifuse device operating in a prototype or a production system.

Silicon Explorer II’s noninvasive method does not alter any timing or

loading, thus helping to shorten the debugging cycle. In-system

debugging of Actel’s flash FPGAs with Identify Actel Edition (AE)

allows the FPGA designer to quickly find and correct functional

design bugs by probing internal signals of the design directly from

the hardware at the system speed. The probed signals can be viewed

directly onto the RTL view for easy interpretation of the data.

Identify AE offers an advanced triggering mechanism that focuses on

a certain area of the design and sets breakpoints in RTL.

Low Power

Maximizes power savings

with very limited power-on

current surge and no

high-current transition

period. Offers low dynamic

power consumption.

Live at Power-Up

Greatly simplifies system

design. Additionally the

device is available to

perform critical system

setup tasks. Reduces

bill-of-materials costs

and PCB area.

Single Chip

The most ASIC-like FPGA

available—one chip is all

you need.

Secure

FlashLock and FuseLock

technology provide the

most impenetrable

anti-tamper security.

Neutron Immune

Flash cell configuration

element cannot be altered

by high-energy neutrons

and is therefore immune

to firm errors, unlike

SRAM-based FPGAs.

Advanced Packaging

Actel offers an extensive traditional lead solder and lead-free package

portfolio, certified to perform in extended-temperature automotive

applications, including small form factor Chip Scale (0.8 mm pitch), Fine

Pitch Ball Grid Array (1.0 mm pitch), and a variety of other packages.

Reliability and Qualification

Actel FPGAs are not suspectible to neutron-based firm errors. Unlike SRAM-

based FPGAs, Actel devices are not suspectible to single-event upsets in

the configuration memory used to define the personality of the logic in

the FPGA. This allows Actel FPGAs to be used in the most demanding

and safety-critical areas of the powertrain and safety systems without the

risk of changes in critical logic due to neutron-induced single-event upsets.

Actel offers the lowest-power FPGA technology available, which allows for

high-temperature operation without the risk of thermal runaway due to

power-based self-heating. Only Actel ProASIC3 flash-based FPGAs offer

AECQ100 Grade 1 (135ºC junction temperature) support. High-temperature

support also makes Actel firm-error-immune-devices appropriate for use in

poorly ventilated, space-constrained sub-systems.

Secure Your System with FuseLock

and FlashLock

All Actel products are nonvolatile, single-chip FPGAs that offer virtually

unbreakable design security to meet the most demanding system

requirements. Security and tamper resistance are especially important

to remove the customer temptation to interfere with the electronics.

Additionally, secure designs reduce the probability of unauthorized parts

suppliers producing aftermarket replacement parts.
