comprehensive software toolsets for designing with Microsemi FPGAs. Different versions of

Libero support different families (see Product Family support for details).

• Libero SoC supports Microsemi’s IGLOO2, SmartFusion2, SmartFusion, IGLOO, ProASIC3

and Fusion families managing the entire design flow from design entry, synthesis and

simulation, through place-and-route, timing and power analysis, with enhanced integration of

the embedded design flow. Libero SoC also includes a new System Builder design approach

for correct by construction SoC FPGA configuration.

• Libero IDE software supports designing with Microsemi Rad-Tolerant FPGAs, Antifuse FPGAs

and Legacy & Discontinued Flash FPGAs and managing the entire design flow from design

entry, synthesis and simulation, through place-and-route, timing and power analysis.

Libero SoC provides a new SoC design flow, specifically targeted to simplify the design of

our newest flash FPGAs. Standalone tools such as Silicon Sculptor, FlashPro and Synphony

Model Compiler AE are not changing and will continue to include support for all silicon devices.

Two types of Libero licenses are available. Libero Gold Free licenses covers the majority of

mainstream FPGAs, while Libero Platinum supports the high end and advanced feature devices.
