For more information, read the product discontinuation notification.įlashPro3 and FlashPro3X programmers have been discontinued. The FlashPro programmer has been discontinued. For more information, read the product discontinuation notification.
Multiple FlashPro3 programmers can be connected to a single PC via USB hubs, enabling the end user to set up a small-scale production environment with concurrent ISP occurring across multiple boards and the FlashPro software.įlashPro3X allows changing the TCK mode to discrete, which allows JTAG programming for non-compliant JTAG devices to be included in the JTAG chain with the Microsemi FPGA.įlashPro3 and FlashPro3X programmers have been discontinued. Powered exclusively via USB, FlashPro3 provides a VPUMP voltage of 3.3 V for programming these devices.įlashPro3 connects to any PC with a USB port and operates with USB 1.1 (full-speed) or USB 2.0 (both high-speed and full-speed modes).
FlashPro3 offers high performance through the use of USB 2.0 and is high-speed compliant for full use of the 480 Mbps bandwidth.
Feature and Product Matrix FeatureįlashPro3 supports all low power FPGAs in the IGLOO series and ProASIC3 series (including RT ProASIC3) and Fusion mixed signal FPGAs. Note: FlashPro Lite parallel port is not supported on any Windows 圆4 systems. If the PC/Laptop does not have parallel port a PCMCIA to parallel port converter can be used as an alternative. FlashPro Lite is conveniently powered from the target board. A replaceable programming cable is connected to the FlashPro Lite. The programming connection to the target board is a 26-pin SAMTEC micro header on the target board. FlashPro Lite provides all required programming voltages.
FlashPro LiteįlashPro Lite is used exclusively with the ProASIC PLUS family.
Libero IDE v8.6 SP1 or FlashPro v8.6 SP1 is the minimum software and version required to use FlashPro4. Multiple FlashPro4 programmers can be connected to a single PC using USB hubs, enabling the end user to set up a small-scale production environment with concurrent ISP occurring across multiple boards and the FlashPro software.įlashPro4 replaces FlashPro3 and FlashPro3X and is completely backward-compatible, supporting additional features such as lower cost, smaller form factor and the latest flash FPGA families. For IGLOO nano FPGAs, programming at 1.2V Core Voltage is supported.įor SmartFusion designs, FlashPro4 hardware supports device programming for both the FPGA Libero IDE-generated hardware design as well as software design coming from Microsemi's SoftConsole embedded software design and debug.įlashPro4 connects to any PC with a USB port and operates with USB 1.1 (full-speed) or USB 2.0 (both high-speed and full-speed modes). Powered exclusively via USB, FlashPro4 provides a VPUMP voltage of 3.3 V for programming these devices. FlashPro4 offers extremely high performance through the use of USB 2.0 and is high-speed compliant for full use of the 480 Mbps bandwidth.
The FlashPro software and user interface support all FlashPro programmers, so you do not have to learn new software to switch from one hardware programmer to another. Production costs are significantly reduced as a result of elimination of expensive sockets on the board.Īll FlashPro programmers use JEDEC-standard STAPL files, meaning there are no algorithms built into the software.
In-system programming using the JTAG port adds the flexibility of field upgrades or post-assembly production-line characterization.
Programming with the FlashPro series of programmers saves you board space because a single JTAG chain can be used for all JTAG devices.
