====== Microsemi ======

Try to put the latest devices on top of each section and mark end-of-line products. Only specify the main parameters of the micro controllers and go more into deep with details about the CAN interface. Always try to put a link to the data sheet or manual.

In March 2018 Microchip Technology announced it would acquire Microsemi for approximately $10 billion.
===== SoC =====

[[http://www.actel.com/products/smartfusion2/default.aspx | SmartFusion2]] 166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 Processor and Microcontroller Subsystem in SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA Devices. Microsemi has announced the availability of its first production-qualified System-on-Chip FPGAs, the M2S050 and M2S050T, for June 2013.

The SmartFusion2 concept is used in [[ http://www.anybus.com/ | HMS]] new flagship, the [[http://www.anybus.com/products/abcc40.shtml  | NP40]] network processor. It is used by HMS to realize standard fieldbus protocols like CAN, but also all kinds of real time Ethernet.


**CAN Controller Features:** 

Possibly the [[controllers:inicore|Inicore]] CANmodule-IIIx is implemented. [[http://www.inicore.com/news/press_2013_canmod3x_microsemi.html | Press release]].



Receive Path


    * 32 receive buffers
    * Each buffer has its own message filter
    * Message filter covers: ID, IDE, RTR, Data byte 1, and Data byte 2
    * Message buffers can be linked together to build a bigger message array.
    * Automatic remote transmission request (RTR) response handler with optional generation of RTR interrupt


Transmit Path


    * 32 Transmit message holding registers with programmable priority arbitration
    * Message abort command
    * Single-shot transmission (SST) (no automatic retransmission upon error or arbitration loss) EDAC

===== FPGA =====

Microsemi (USA) has announced PCIe implementations based on [[http://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/fpga/igloo2-fpga | IGLOO2]] FPGAs. The products, which are compliant to PCI express specifications, also provide CAN connectivity. The on-chip CAN has been tested by the C&S group (Germany) according to ISO 16845 and some additional test cases.
