System Solutions
|
| System Management: |
SmartFusion™ and Actel Fusion® integrate system management functions such as power and thermal management, remote communications, and system clocking in a single mixed signal FPGA. |
| xTCA: |
The telecom computing architecture (xTCA™) encompasses a series of standards defined by the more than 250 members of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG®), including AdvancedTCA®, AdvancedMC™, and MicroTCA®. These standards reduce the cost of telecommunications, industrial, medical, and military equipment. |
| Power Management: |
Actel's SmartFusion intelligent mixed signal FPGA, featuring the 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, and Fusion mixed signal FPGA provide flexible power management capabilities. The Mixed Signal Power Manager (MPM) demonstrates a simple user interface for complex power management solutions without the complexity of the FPGA design flow.
