CoreMP7-enabled M7ProASIC3DevKitThe CoreMP7-enabled ProASIC3 Development Kit is a complete, fully RoHS-compliant package that enables quick evaluation and design prototyping of Actel's CoreMP7-enabled ProASIC3 family and prototyping your design. ProASIC3 devices support the ARM7™ soft processor IP cores, offering the benefits of programmability and swift time-to-market at costs as low as under $1. The ProASIC3 families are based on nonvolatile flash technology and support 15 k to 3 M gates and up to 620 high-performance I/Os. This kit is fitted with a CoreMP7-enabled ProASIC3 A3P1000-FG484 device. The on-board programmer enables easy experimentation with ISP, device serialization, and FlashLock® on-chip system security. The CoreMP7-enabled ProASIC3 development board has on-board voltage regulation, enabling you to set some of the I/O bank voltages independently.

Key Features:

  • Environmentally green, RoHS-compliant board
  • Powered by external 5 V power supply
  • USB connection for programming
  • USB connection for UART
  • Ability to measure current consumption of FPGA
  • Memory for embedded applications
  • On-board programmer—no need for external supplies
  • Most cost-effective 1 M system-gate FPGA in the world
