The SmartFusion® family of cSoCs builds on the technology first introduced with the Fusion mixed signal FPGAs. SmartFusion cSoCs are made possible by integrating FPGA technology with programmable high-performance analog and hardened ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller blocks on a flash semiconductor process. The SmartFusion cSoC takes its name from the fact that these three discrete technologies are integrated on a single chip, enabling the lowest cost of ownership and smallest footprint solution to you.

SmartFusion雙馬達(dá)控制套件

Microsemi’s SmartFusion Dual Motor Control Kit features a SmartFusion evaluation board paired with TRINAMIC’s TMCM-AC-840 Daughter Board to provide a customizable system-on-chip (cSoC) motor control prototyping platform for stepper and brushless DC motors (BLDC). One of each type of motor is included along with necessary cables and power supplies. SmartFusion cSoCs are the only devices that integrate an FPGA, an ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, and programmable analog, offering full customization, IP protection, and ease- of-use. The device contains on-chip flash and on-chip SRAM memory, as well as additional SPI flash memory on the board.

SmartFusion FPGA fit well to motion control applications. Due to the combination of hardware, software, and additional analog components complex systems can be integrated within a single chip. This drastically reduces the number of required components to realize a motion control unit. Real time critical tasks can be implemented in hardware. Complex - but less real time critical tasks - can be realized in software. Real Time critical tasks are commutation of fast rotating BLDC motors or processing of high resolution encoder signals. Processing of analog signals, e.g., voltage and current measurement is a typical task in motion control applications. Therefore, the SmartFusion’s. analog I/Os and processing functionality can be used.
