About Silicon Explorer (SE)
The Silicon Explorer? Logic Analysis software is designed to support logic instruments such as a timing
analyzer, a state analyzer, and a probe pilot. Each of these instruments provides specific capabilities for
acquiring and or viewing data.
Microsemi has previously offered Silicon Explorer (SE) II Lite, SE Lite and SE I (all now discontinued).
SE full-version has a built in logic analyzer functionality. SE has a 22-pin (18 channels, a clock, VCC, GND,
and clock GND) and a 16-pin connector for controlling the Action Probe circuitry and reading the design
checksum. It also has a 26-pin connector for programming ProASIC devices. The Silicon Explorer II logic-
analysis system is enhanced to support an external power supply, which permits internal probing of 5.0V,
3.3V, and 2.5V FPGAs. Other features include four-levels of triggering, decompression on download to
speed up response time and system acquisition rates up to 100MHz.
Silicon Explorer II enables control of the Action Probe circuitry, a patented architectural feature built into all
of Actel’s antifuse devices that allows access to any internal node from selected external pins. SE II
integrates two diagnostic tools, the Command module and the Analyze module, into a single diagnostic and
logic analysis device that attaches to a PC’s standard COM port. The Command module of the Explore
software lists all the observable nets in the FPGA. Select the desired net in the list and click the PRA or PRB
button to display the signal on the Analyze module. The Command module also reads back the design's
checksum. Also, it is possible to read back the CHECKSUM of a device after it has been secured. You can
use the design’s checksum to verify that you programmed the correct design in the FPGA. The Analyze
module is an 18-channel logic analyzer that automatically displays the signals for both probe outputs (and
up to 16 additional signals) on the target system. You may sample data asynchronously at 66 MHz. Channel
1 and 2 of the logic analyzer connect to the PRA and PRB signals on the F PG A automatically. Silicon
Explorer II uses the remaining 16 channels of the logic analyzer to examine other signals on the board.
Silicon Explorer has no memory devices. File data cannot be stored on any of the non-volatile memory
components.
