Microsemi Integrates Inicore Enhanced Reliability CAN IP into SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA
NEWARK, California, March 25, 2013 - The silicon Intellectual Property (IP) and design service provider Inicore Inc. announced today that its CAN controller IP core CANmodule-IIIx has been incorporated into Microsemi Corporation’s recently released SmartFusion®2 SoC FPGAs. The award-winning SmartFusion2 device combines a flash-based FPGA fabric with an ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, SRAM, eNVM and communication interfaces such a Gigabit Ethernet, USB and CAN, all on a single chip for use in industrial, medical, defense and automotive applications. Inicore’s CANmodule-IIIx core is a message object based CAN controller that is compliant with the international standard ISO 11898-1 and passed conformance testing according to ISO 16845. For details about the IP see: http://www.inicore.com/core_lib/canmodule_3x.html
Microsemi and Inicore worked in collaboration to enhance the CANmodule-IIIx by adding single bit error correction and double bit error detection (SECDED) to the 32 transmit and 32 receive message buffers. This improves the CAN reliability for safety critical applications that require IEC61508, DO-254 or AEC-Q100 certifications.
“As the only Soc FPGA with SEU-immune zero FIT flash FPGA configuration cells, SmartFusion2 was designed specifically for safety-critical and mission-critical applications,” said Paul Ekas, vice president of Marketing at Microsemi. “Our customers have been using Inicore’s ISO 11898-1 compliant cores in our devices and fielded systems successfully for many years, and we were pleased to see the integration of the CANmodule-IIIx controller into SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs achieved seamlessly with first-pass silicon success.”
“The feature-rich SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA with the integrated CAN controller provides a great platform to create embedded systems, particularly for applications where reliability is a top priority,” noted Daniel Leu, President and Chief Engineer at Inicore. “We are pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with Microsemi and serve our common customers.”
