图1.SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA框图

SmartFusion2 flash-based fabric has zero FIT configuration rate due to its SEU immunity, which is criticalin reliability applications. The flash fabric also has the advantage that no external configuration memoryis required, making the device instant-on; it retains configuration when powered off. To complement thisunique FPGA capability, SmartFusion2 devices add reliability to many other aspects of the device. Singleerror correct double error detect (SECDED) protection is implemented on the Cortex-M3 embeddedscratch pad memory, Ethernet, CAN, and USB buffers, and is optional on the DDR memory controllers.

This means that if a one-bit error is detected, the error is corrected automatically. If errors of more thanone bit are detected, they are not corrected. SECDED error signals are brought to the FPGA fabric toallow the user to monitor the status of these protected internal memories. Other areas of the architectureare implemented with latches, which are more resistant to SEUs. Therefore, no correction is needed inDDR bridges (MSS, MDDR, and FDDR), instruction cache and MMUART, SPI, and PCIe FIFOs.
