Actel's Fusion programmable system chip (PSC), the industry's first mixed-signal field-programmable gate array (FPGA), was named the winner in the Digital IC and Programmable Logic category at EDN's 2005 Innovation of The Year competition and also won the French electronic industry's annual Electron d'Or award for Best Innovative Programmable Logic Product of the Year.
The Fusion PSC offers the unprecedented integration of mixed-signal analog, embedded flash memory and FPGA fabric in a single chip, enabling designers to quickly move from concept to completed design and deliver feature-rich systems to market.
The Actel Fusion family integrates programmable analog, up to 8 Mbits of high-performance flash memory, and up to 1,5 million system gates of in-system programmable (ISP) FPGA fabric in a monolithic PSC. Extending the core benefits of the company's single-chip flash FPGA technology (live at power-up, low power consumption, design security, practical firm-error immunity and low total system cost), the Fusion devices provide an exceptional alternative to costly and space- and time-consuming mixed-signal ASIC design.
