Electronics design software company Altium, and Microsemi’s SoC Products Group, formerly Actel, announced that Altium will provide its Altium Designer software as an option to customers using SmartFusion intelligent mixed-signal FPGAs.
SmartFusion integrates an FPGA, a hard ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller subsystem (MSS) and programmable analog on a single chip, offering full customisation, IP protection and ease-of-use. Given SmartFusion’s flexibility and popularity, Altium Designer was selected as a design solution partner because of its ability to address system design by combining PCB, embedded software development and FPGA design in one unified system.
According to Rich Kapusta, vice president of marketing, SoC Products Group at Microsemi: “Altium Designer is an electronics system design platform that is versatile enough to cover PCB, FPGA and embedded software development with ARM processor support. This will not only benefit our existing SmartFusion customers by offering an additional design option, but will broaden our market access, given Altium’s unified design platform approach.”
Altium’s SmartFusion device support makes full use of its unified design platform, which lets designers work across all design domains – hardware, software and programmable hardware – with one solution, and have all these domains work together, not just alongside each other. SmartFusion device support will be included in the standard design flow, making it accessible to any Altium Designer customer.
