Designing with SmartFusion
Designing with SmartFusion involves three different types of design:
FPGA design, embedded design and analog design. These roles can
be fi lled by three different designers, two designers or even a single
designer, depending on company structure and project complexity.
Microsemi has developed design tools and fl ows to meet the needs of
these three types of designers so they can work together smoothly on
a single project.

The MSS confi gurator creates a bridge between the FPGA and
embedded designers so device confi guration can be easily shared
between multiple developers.

FPGA Design—Libero
Microsemi’s comprehensive software toolset for designing with all
Microsemi FPGAs. Libero IDE includes industry-leading synthesis,
simulation and debug tools from Synopsys
as well as innovative timing and power optimization and analysis.
Embedded Design—Microsemi offers FREE SoftConsole Eclipse-
based IDE, which includes the GNU C/C++ compiler and GDB
debugger. Microsemi also offers evaluation versions of software from
Keil and IAR, with full versions available from respective suppliers.
Analog Design—The MSS confi gurator provides graphical
confi guration for current, voltage and temperature monitors, sample
sequencing setup and post-processing confi guration, as well as
DAC output.
