Mixed-signal FPGA removes designers'
handcuffs
The Actel Fusion programmable system chip is billed as the world's first mixed-signal FPGA family.
Satisfying a strong demand from system architects for a device that simplifies design and unleashes their creativity, the Actel Fusion programmable system chip (PSC) is billed as the world's first mixed-signal FPGA family By integrating mixed-signal analogue, Flash memory and FPGA fabric in a monolithic PSC, the Actel Fusion devices enable designers to quickly move from concept to completed design and deliver feature-rich systems to market
