Actel offers several microprocessor and microcontroller solutions for developers, all of which are tightly integrated with
Actel Libero IDE, optimized for Actel FPGA architecture, and supplied with a complete toolset for code compile and
debug.
The Fusion Advanced Development Kit board contains a Fusion M1AFS1500 FPGA device, which is Cortex-M1–
enabled. Cortex-M1 is the first ARM processor developed specifically for implementation in FPGAs. In addition to
Cortex M1, this Fusion FPGA can be programmed with Core8051(s) or CoreABC.
A few components are populated on the Embedded Development Kit board for basic Cortex-M1 development. These
components include SRAM, SPI-based flash, ethernet interface, USB-to-UART bridge, OLED, EEPROM, and I2C
interfaces. To integrate these components into a complete solution, Actel supplies a full range of subsystem IP cores:
memory controllers, timers, mailbox, serial interface controllers, and others. These subsystem IP can connect to the
embedded processor via the advanced microcontroller bus architecture (AMBA) bus.

There are two separate external 9 V power supply bricks: one for the Fusion FPGA part of the board and other for the
MPM part of the circuitry. If you are not using MPM, you will need only one 9 V power supply brick.
Three voltage rails (10 V, 3.3 V, and 1.5 V) are provided on the board through the 24 V tolerant regulators:
• A single regulator, National 3102MH (3.3 V, 1.25 A), supplies both analog and digital 3.3 V going to the Fusion
• National LM3100 MH (1.5 V, 500 mA) supplies the 1.5 V rails.
• National LM27313 boost converter supplies 10 V, 100 mA typical, for driving OLEDs.
Note:
This part of the circuit uses 4 voltage supply regulators:
• LDO regulator 1.5 V
• Switching regulator 3.3 V
• DC-DC regulators 5 V
• DC-DC regulators 5 V
Note:
All the regulators are supplied by one external 9 V brick.
device. Sufficient isolation is provided through low-pass filter and layout to prevent noise from the digital domain
interfering on the analog domain.
Note:
This board is not designed to power up external daughter boards. Actel recommends to run a detailed power
analysis when designing for daughter boards which require to be powered up form the main board.
The Fusion Advanced Development Kit needs two external power supplies (9 V) for board operation; one for the
Fusion device and one for the regulators in the MPM circuitry. Since MPM is using the Fusion device to monitor
the multiple power rails coming out of regulators, you cannot use the same 9 V power supply to power-up the
Fusion design and supply power to the input of the regulators that it is monitoring.
The 10 V supply for the OLED must have power sequencing for maintaining a 100 ms delay between 3.3 V
and 10 V, where 3.3 V powers up first. This can be achieved through jumper JP20 by using a National reset
circuitry (LM 3722), or using M1AFS gate drivers to do the power-up sequencing.
