Fusion FPGAs

The World's First Mixed-Signal FPGA

Fusion logo

Actel Fusion integrates configurable analog, large flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation and management circuitry, and high-performance, flash-based programmable logic in a monolithic device. Actel’s innovative Fusion architecture can be used with the Actel soft MCU core as well as the performancemaximized 32-bit ARM Cortex-M1 cores. Fusion is the definitive mixed-signal FPGA platform.

Fusion Starter Kit / Ordering Code: AFS-EVAL-KIT

Actel Fusion Starter KitEvaluation board with an AFS600-FG256 Fusion device

  • Five I/O banks: two can be independently set to 1.5 V or 3.3 V; two are fixed at 3.3 V; and one is for high voltage analog I/Os that support direct connection to voltages ranging from –12 V to +12 V.
  • On-chip 1% RC oscillator, a crystal oscillator circuit, and phase-locked loops (PLLs) support system clock generation, manipulation, and distribution
  • Eight LEDs and four switches provide simple inputs and outputs to the system.
  • On-board LCD displays values of converted analog signals (voltage, current, or temperature) and flash memory contents
  • Multi-color LED illustrates temperature changes and pulse width modulation (PWM) fan control by varying the brightness
  • 40-pin daughter card connector for use with system boards developed by Actel, customers, or third-party partners
  • Two programming headers support in-system programming (ISP) of single and JTAG-chained boards using FlashPro4.
