Actel Fusion – The world’s first Mixed signal FPGA offering a programmable system on chip solution.
The Actel Fusion Programmable System Chip (PSC) integrates configurable analog, large flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation and management circuitry, and high-performance, flash-based programmable logic in a monolithic device. Actel's innovative Fusion architecture can be used with the Actel soft MCU core as well as the performance-maximized 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M1 and CoreMP7 cores. Fusion is the definitive PSC platform.

Design Software
To support this groundbreaking technology, Actel has developed a series of major tool innovations to help maximize designer productivity. Implemented as extensions to the popular Actel Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE), these new tools will allow designers to easily instantiate and configure peripherals within a design, establish links between peripherals, create or import building blocks (Fusion applets) or reference designs, and perform hardware verification. This tools suite will also add comprehensive hardware/software debug features as well as a suite of utilities to simplify development of embedded soft processor-based solutions.
Development Kit
The all-inclusive Fusion Starter Kit and M1-enabled Fusion Starter Kit contain everything you need to fully experiment with Fusion's programmable system chip capabilities. They provide a complete platform for the development of systems with Fusion or M1-enabled Fusion devices.
