Actel

ARM® Processors

Cortex™-M3: Specifically developed to provide a high-performance, low-cost platform for a broad range of applications including microcontrollers, automotive body systems, industrial control systems and wireless networking, the ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit processor in a SmartFusion intelligent mixed signal FPGA is implemented as hard-gate on-chip infrastructure, so fabric tiles are all available for your IP cores and custom circuitry.
Cortex-M1: The first ARM processor developed specifically for implementation in FPGAs. ARM Cortex-M1 is available without license fees or royalties for use in Actel M1-enabled FPGA families: IGLOO®, ProASIC®3, ProASIC3L, and Fusion devices.
CoreMP7: The Actel CoreMP7 is a soft IP version of the ARM7TDMI-S™ that is optimized for use in Actel M7 ProASIC3 flash-based and Fusion mixed signal FPGAs. CoreMP7 is available with no license fees or royalties—bringing ARM7 to the masses.

8051 Cores

Core8051: Core8051 is 8051 code compatible so designers can take advantage of existing code to shorten their design time. This free core is fast at one clock per instruction, and includes the standard 8051 peripherals.
Core8051s: Core8051s is an implementation of the 8051 with an APB interface added to the SFR space. The free Core8051s executes one instruction per clock, is 8051 instruction compatible, and works with existing 8051 tools.

Small Soft Micro

CoreABC: CoreABC is the smallest and first RTL-programmable soft micro available for FPGAs. The free controller can be implemented in as few as 241 tiles, and can be used in the smallest Actel devices.

LEON3 Processor Core

LEON3: LEON3 is a 32-bit processor based on the SPARC V8 architecture, which is optimized for use in Actel FPGAs. A fault-tolerant version of the LEON3 processor is available for system critical applications.

On-Chip Bus Interface

AMBA: Actel supplies a full range of subsystem IP cores including: AMBA bus interfaces, memory controllers, timers, and others. The subsystem IP connects to the processor via the AMBA bus and is available for free in the Libero® IDE Catalog and CoreConsole.
