Actel

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.
Display: Actel's flash-based FPGAs provide a flexible and scalable solution for display control in several markets, including power-conscious portable, medical, industrial, and automotive applications. Actel and its partners offer versatile demonstration platforms and solutions to enable rapid design development.
Storage: Actel offers a wide range of storage controller solutions for the portable market to address the power requirements of handheld devices.
HMI: For a hardware designer of a portable application, the rapidly changing requirements for Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), small form factors, and low-power designs pose significant challenges. Actel's line of ultra-low-power, reprogrammable flash FPGAs provides solutions to address these challenges.
Motor Control: Actel addresses the need for sophisticated, cost-effective, high-efficiency motor control with solutions for DC motors. Offered solutions use SmartFusion intelligent mixed signal FPGA, featuring the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor, and Actel's ultra-low power IGLOO® flash FPGA.
Actel DSP: Actel provides the digital signal processing (DSP) designer with a complete flow, from algorithm evaluation using Matlab® and Simulink® to place-and-route with Libero® Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools, along with an exhaustive set of DSP blocksets and Actel IP cores.
Remote Programming: A remote programming solution via Ethernet can be used with Actel's flash devices.
