Overview

Setting a New Bar for Tamper-Resistant Compute

AMD Versal™ tamper-resistant devices are the industry’s first adaptive SoCs or FPGAs with built-in protection against physical attacks on the silicon backside,1 supporting the needs of security-critical applications.

Backside Protection

Protection die helps shield critical information from physical attacks.

Foundational Security

CNSA 2.0 compliant with enhancements to core security features.

High-Performance Compute 

Programmable logic, AI Engines, and embedded CPUs.

Deploy Confidently

Backed by proven AMD design tools, technical support, and partner ecosystem.

Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 

Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 tamper-resistant adaptive SoCs combine built-in backside protection and foundational security enhancements with production-proven programmable logic, AI Engines, and high-performance Arm® CPUs – all in a single device.

  • Integrated protection against backside attacks
  • New ML-DSA and SLH-DSA hardware accelerators 
  • Enhanced glitch detection and ASU key vault
  • Versal architecture programmable logic
  • AI Engines for ML or DSP workloads
  • Up to 229k DMIPS scalar compute

Pulling Ahead in the Anti-Tamper Race

As backside attacks become cheaper and more accessible, they pose an increasing risk to systems that must protect cryptographic keys, application data, and other sensitive information. AMD tamper-resistant devices use 3D active-on-active technology to deliver backside protection without the need for expensive mechanical or ASIC-based solutions – enabling users to meet their security goals without compromising on performance, size, weight, power, or time to market.

Product Specifications

Each tamper-resistant device has a footprint-compatible standard counterpart with identical compute, memory, I/O, and other resources. Users can migrate a design from a standard device to the tamper-resistant counterpart without the need to re-run synthesis and place-and-route.
