Intellectual Property for SmartFusion
SmartFusion devices are composed of hard intellectual property (IP) blocks, such as an ARM Cortex-M3 processor, UART, SPI, I 2 C and
10/100 Ethernet interface, as well as standard peripherals, such as ADC, DAC, timers, watchdog timer and RTC. Beyond these hard cores
you can select from Microsemi’s IP Catalog within SmartDesign to add additional free IP to the FPGA fabric of your SmartFusion device, or
choose from a wide range of partner cores. Microsemi has more than 180 intellectual property products designed and optimized to support
communications, consumer, military, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets. Microsemi IP solutions streamline your designs, enable faster
time-to-market and minimize design costs and risk. The table below shows some examples of the IP available. A complete list of cores is available
on the Microsemi SoC Products Group website.
Notes:

2. Fore more information, see the Inicore partner page: www.actel.com/products/partners/companioncore/inicore.aspx.
Microsemi IP cores can be accessed through Libero IDE via the SmartDesign IP catalog. Drivers for the processor supported IP cores are available
through the Firmware Catalog and are extracted automatically for SmartFusion designs through the MSS Confi gurator dialog.

Microsemi is the fi rst major FPGA company to address the threats caused by
side-channel analysis. Side-channel attacks such as differential power analysis
(DPA) can endanger the security of the design IP confi gured into an FPGA and
the security of the end application itself.
Microsemi has obtained a license from Cryptograph Research, Inc. (CRI) for the DPA patent portfolio,
consisting of more than fi fty patents. Contact Microsemi sales to order devices that include a license
to implement IP based on these patents.
