Actel enhanced its Actel Fusion mixed-signal PSC offering with an ecosystem that supports power and thermal management applications. The Fusion PSC devices integrate digital logic, analog functionality, up to 8Mbits of embedded flash memory, and FPGA fabric on a single chip. There are three application briefs: one for thermal management, a DC/DC conversion brief and an LED backlight control document. Additionally, there is a thermal management demonstration design for the Fusion Starter Kit and an application note describing thermal monitoring techniques with Fusion. The Ecosystem includes 99 IP cores to serve as building blocks for rapid system design. Two new DirectCores have been developed specifically for the Fusion platform. CoreCFI provides a flash memory interface, per the common flash interface standard, and CoreFMEE extends the life of the flash memory to emulate the high endurance of EEPROMs using the Fusion device’s large internal flash memory. This offering also includes the Fusion Backbone IP, which in conjunction with Actel’s SmartGen, provides a simple interface and configuration tool for Fusion analog and large nonvolatile memory systems. The Fusion Starter Kit is a design environment that includes a development board, FlashPro3 programmer, power supply, software tools and reference designs for fast and easy implementation of Fusion devices. The system includes over 30 Solution Partners that provide additional application expertise as well as component and board-level knowledge.
