Fusion in System ManagementThe World’s Only Single-Chip System ManagerSystem management continues to gain importance in the design of all electronicsystems. Smaller process geometries drive more multi-volt devices and are moresusceptible to voltage and temperature fluctuations. While system managementdesigns can run into hundreds of discrete components, the Actel Fusion ProgrammableSystem Chip (PSC), the industry’s only mixed-signal field-programmablegate array (FPGA) solution, can integrate these system management functionsand provide programmable flexibility and system-level integration – all in a singlechip. Unprecedented integration in Fusion devices can offer cost and space savingsof 50% or greater relative to current implementations.Actel, the world’s only supplier of mixed-signal FPGAs, now offers the only singlechipsystem management solution. The Actel Fusion PSC integrates configurableanalog, large Flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation and managementcircuitry, and high performance programmable logic in a monolithic device.Actel has developed turn-keysolutions, including a development kit and a softwareGUI for system management. This level of integration, configurability, and supportestablishes Fusion as the definitive system management solution.System Management Key Tasksn Power management- Up to 10 power supplies11 V to +12 V- Power-on detection and reset- Power-up sequencing- Voltage monitoring- Current monitoringn Thermal management- Track and control up to10 remote sensorsn System clocking- Backup system clockn SRAM FPGA managementn Boot loader for MCUn Remote communicationsn Error/alarm recoveryn Diagnostics/prognosticsn Identification/authenticationn Low power operation27
