The Fusion Advanced Development Kit is fully RoHS-compliant and provides an excellent platform for developing microprocessor applications and other system management applications. The M1AFS1500 ARM®-enabled Fusion mixed-signal flash FPGA on the board supports ARM Cortex™-M1, Core8051s, and other soft IP processors. The kit supports the following functions:
- Power-up detection
- Thermal management
- Power sequencing
- Sleep modes
- System diagnostics
- Remote communications
- Clock generation and management
The Fusion Advanced Development Kit also includes support for the Mixed-signal Power Manager (MPM) Demonstration. The lower section of the board marked Power Supply MGMT Area can be used in conjunction with the MPM design example to develop voltage sequencing and power management.

Mixed-signal Power Manager Demonstration
The Mixed-signal Power Manager Demonstration includes a reference design targeted to the Fusion Advanced Development Kit that delivers superior power monitoring, power sequencing, and threshold control of up to 16 power regulators. Users can configure power management sequencing, levels, or thresholds using an easy-to-use standalone graphical user interface (GUI) tool, which also enables the user to program the MPM design into the Fusion device. Designers using MPM will be able to replace discrete power management devices, add more flexibility by leveraging Fusion's reprogrammable flash FPGA technology, and reduce total parts count at the board level. MPM will deliver highly-configurable, integrated power management using one high-reliability low-power flash-based Fusion mixed-signal FPGA. The MPM user's guide and zip file are listed below.
