Integrated System Management

Fusion System Management

Actel, the world leader of mixed-signal FPGAs, now offers the only single-chip system management solution. The Actel Fusion Programmable System Chip (PSC) integrates configurable analog, large flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation, and high performance programmable logic in a monolithic device.

Fusion does not require additional configuration nonvolatile memory in order to load the device configuration data at every system power-up, which reduces cost and increases security and system reliability. Increased Fusion functionality can remove several additional components from the board, such as flash memory, discrete analog ICs, clock sources, EEPROM, and real-time clocks, thereby reducing system cost and board space requirements.

System Management Developer's Kit

With Sample Designs

System Management Dev Kit

Actel's Fusion-based kit provides an excellent platform for developing system management applications and/or microprocessor applications. The kit includes an ARM-enabled Fusion device, a system management GUI, and sample designs to speed development and understanding of Fusion's capabilities.

The system management GUI displays board status, application data, and IPMI data and provides a graphical display of analog data.

The GUI helps users to:

• Monitor power supplies • Monitor temperature sensors • Set LEDs and text for display • Set and read the RTC • Display embedded flash contents
