Microchip Technology announced it has extended its FPGA family's security with the DesignShield development tool that further helps prevent this information from being extracted for malicious purposes.

"As a leader in the security space, Microchip offers a portfolio featuring the latest countermeasures for reducing the risk of cloning, intellectual property theft, reverse engineering, or the insertion of malicious Trojan Horses," said Bruce Weyer, vice president of Microchip's FPGA business unit.

This improves design security and integrity while reducing system corruption risks, and reduces the possibility that custom code, intellectual property, or information critical to national security is used by non-authorized agents.

Based on non-volatile flash memory, Microchip's FPGAs offer inherently better security than SRAM-based alternatives that expose sensitive bitstream data on every power cycle.

Microchip FPGAs also include unique integrated security features that prevent overbuilding and cloning, protect design IP, and provide a root of trust, secure data communications and anti-tamper capabilities.

The company's layered approach to security includes licensed, patented differential power analysis protection, built-in certified security functions, built-in tamper detectors, and supply chain assurance that the FPGA is authentic.
