Silicon Sculptor Adapter Modules
Overview
Silicon Sculptor adapter modules are package-specific and dependent on the product family, but are independent of gate count.
Silicon Sculptor Adapter Modules
- SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2
- IGLOO, ProASIC3 and Fusion
- SmartFusion
- ProASIC3, ProASICPLUS, and ProASIC
- Axcelerator and RTAX-S
- Antifuse Devices up to SX-A and RTSX-S
Note: All Activator products and modules are obsolete. Microsemi recommends upgrading to the Silicon Sculptor products. Most mature FPGA devices can still be programmed on Activator, but new FPGA families will not be supported on Activator.
Life cycles of Microsemi Silicon Sculptor modules
| Adapter Type | Typical Insertion cycle life |
|---|---|
| Module Base | > 50,000 insertions |
| Standard Pitch Socket Modules | 10,000 to 20,000 insertions |
| BGA Sockets Modules | 2,500 to 10,000 insertions |
Users should carefully insert and remove the module from the programmer to avoid damage to the DIN connectors. Typical insertion cycles can be prolonged if the module base and socket modules are properly cleaned and maintained. Handling and cleaning practices can affect the number of insertions achieved.
SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 Adapter Modules
SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 devices (including ARM-enabled versions) can be programmed with Silicon Sculptor 3 and Silicon Sculptor II using STAPL programming files. The SM2S series of adapter modules, listed below, have been designed for use with SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 devices. There is no In-System Programming (ISP) module available for SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 devices; the FlashPro4 or FlashPro5 programmer must be used for ISP.

IGLOO, ProASIC3, and Fusion devices (including ARM-enabled versions) can be programmed with Silicon Sculptor 3 and Silicon Sculptor II using STAPL programming files. The SM3F series of adapter modules, listed below, have been designed for use with IGLOO, ProASIC3, and Fusion devices. Whilst SMPA series modules may be used for ProASIC3 programming and some IGLOO programming (depending if the module has a driver to the Flash*Freeze pin), SM3F series modules must be used for Fusion programming. All SM3F modules may also be safely used for IGLOO programming. There is no In-System Programming (ISP) module available for IGLOO, ProASIC3, or Fusion devices; the FlashPro4 programmer must be used for ISP.

SmartFusion devices can be programmed with Silicon Sculptor 3 and Silicon Sculptor II using STAPL programming files along with the adapter modules listed below for the corresponding package. In-System Programming (ISP) is not available via the ISP kit for SmartFusion devices; the FlashPro4 or FlashPro3 programmer must be used for ISP.
SmartFusion devices can be programmed with Silicon Sculptor software minimum version 5.8.0, using one of the adapter modules listed below.
