SmartFusion, the industry's first intelligent mixed signal FPGA, is the only device that integrates an FPGA, hard ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller subsystem (MSS) and programmable analog, offering full customization, IP protection and ease-of-use.
Based on Actel's flash technology, SmartFusion devices are ideal for hardware and embedded designers who need a true system-on-chip (SoC) solution that gives more flexibility than traditional fixed-function microcontrollers and without the excessive cost of soft processor cores on traditional FPGAs.
SmartFusion is an innovative solution for the industrial, medical, energy, communications and military markets in diverse applications, including system management, power management, motor control, industrial networking and display.
Get SmartFusion Smart!
Designing with SmartFusion involves three different types of design: FPGA, embedded and analog design. These roles can be filled by three different designers, two designers, or even a single designer, depending on company structure and project complexity. And with the low-cost SmartFusion Evaluation Kit, designing with your own intelligent mixed signal FPGA just got a lot easier. Watch the video to learn more.
Design Tools
Actel Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE) is Actel's comprehensive software toolset for designing with all Actel FPGAs. The MSS configurator provides graphical setup for current, voltage and temperature monitors, sample sequencing setup and post-processing configuration, as well as digital-to-analog (DAC) output. |

Design Tools
Actel offers the FREE SoftConsole Eclipse-based IDE, as well as evaluation versions of software from Keil and IAR Systems®. The MSS configurator allows the embedded designer to configure a device and work independently, without ever opening FPGA design tools. Designers can also use the MSS configurator to import a configuration from their hardware designer and automatically generate all necessary firmware to start the design. |
