Designing with SmartFusion Intelligent Mixed Signal FPGAs for Embedded, FPGA and Analog Designers
This session demonstrates the design flow enabled by having a hard ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor and complete microcontroller subsystem with flash-based FPGA and programmable analog in a single device. Design methodology must address the needs of a single designer doing all three aspects of design—embedded, FPGA and analog—as well as individual designers merging designs during the development cycle.

Graphically Configurable Power Management Using Mixed Signal FPGAs
Embedded designers face significant challenges implementing power management functionality in microcontroller-based designs. A new approach that leverages the unique characteristics of flash-based mixed signal FPGA devices incorporating on-chip microcontrollers provides a flexible solution to power management. By making use of an innovative design concept that combines a graphical configuration GUI tool with configuration settings stored as register values in on-chip flash memory, complex power management functions can be easily implemented and configured. This presentation explores such a graphically configurable solution.
