In order to demonstrate the integration benefits that mixed-signal FPGAs offer, Actel has announced the Fusion Embedded Development Kit, enabling system designers to prototype a full system-on-a-chip design. The kit features the Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGA and supports a variety of processors, including licence-free versions of the ARM Cortex-M1 and Core8051.
In order to allow engineers to quickly prototype a complete system composed of a microprocessor core, programmable logic and analog blocks, the kit is built around a 1,5 million gate M1AFS1500-FGG484 Fusion device. Also included is the Libero integrated development environment (IDE), SoftConsole, a 5 V power supply and full current measurement capability of independent I/O banks and VCC for accurate power analysis.
Additional contents include 512 KBytes of SRAM, 2 MBytes of SPI Flash, a 96x16 pixel OLED display, USB cables, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface, design examples and documentation.
