Fusion
Overview
Fusion® mixed-signal FPGAs integrate configurable analog, large flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation and management circuitry, and high-performance, flash-based programmable logic in a monolithic device. The innovative Fusion FPGA architecture can be used with our soft microcontroller (MCU) core as well as the performance-maximized 32-bit ARM Cortex-M1 Processor. Pigeon Point devices (P1-prefixed devices) are used in conjunction with Pigeon Point ATCA IP cores and firmware. Fusion devices are the world's first mixed-signal FPGA platform. In addition to supporting commercial and industrial temperature devices, we offer Fusion FPGAs with specialized screening for extended temperature applications.
The Fusion family includes:
- Fusion

Fusion Chip Layout
- Integrated Analog to Digital Converter (ADC):Fusion supports an integrated ADC, eliminating the need for external mixed-signal support ICs. With resolutions up to 12 bits and sampling up to 600 ksps, this configurable ADC supports a broad application space. When customers choose to use the calibration option with the Fusion device, they can achieve better than 1 percent accuracy, which makes it ideal for system management applications where this level of accuracy is required.
- Fusion Supports Low Power:The Fusion real-time counter (RTC) includes a programmable 40-bit counter and match register (timer) that generates time-based match events. In addition to use models such as watchdog timer, device lifetime monitoring, and event timer, the RTC can be used to wake the Fusion device out of standby mode, enabling very low-power modes of operation. The No-Glitch MUX (NGMUX) allows the device switch between asynchronous clock domains to occur in a controlled manner. The device switches to a slower clock frequency during periods of relative inactivity, thereby reducing active power consumption.
- Embedded Flash Memory:The Fusion family is the only programmable logic solution to include up to 8 Mbits of embedded flash memory, arranged in 1,024-bit pages. This high-performance, configurable flash memory supports 100 MHz operation and data bus widths of 8, 16, and 32 bits. Utilizing an endurance extender IP block, sections of the flash memory can emulate an EEPROM device to on-chip or off-chip resources. When used in conjunction with either a soft MCU on-chip or an external MCU, the flash memory offers an excellent code space solution with the ability to execute in place, eliminating the need to shadow code in RAM. Increasing overall data reliability, the flash memory integrates error correction circuitry (ECC) with single-bit error-fix and two-bit error-detect capabilities.
- Advanced I/O Standards
- 700 Mbps LVDS-, BLVDS-, and MLVDS-capable DDR I/Os
- Multiple I/O banks per device
- Single-ended I/O standards: LVTTL, LVCMOS 3.3 V /2.5 V / 1.8 V / 1.5 V, 3.3 V PCI / 3.3 V PCI-X, andLVCMOS 2.5 V / 5.0 V input
- Differential I/O standards: LVPECL, LVDS, BLVDS,and MLVDS
- Voltage-referenced I/O standards
- Registered I/Os
- Hot-swap-compliant I/Os
- Charge Pumps:Fusion devices are designed to operate from a single 3.3 V supply. The Fusion devices supply all other voltages to write (program) the embedded flash memory and the FPGA core.
- Analog Quads:Leveraging its high-voltage flash process, Fusion analog I/Os support direct connection from as low as –10.5 V up to +12 V. By eliminating the need for external components to scale down (or up) signals before and after processing, Fusion reduces cost, component count, and board space, while increasing reliability and ease of use. Differential current and temperature monitor blocks with integrated amplifiers increase accuracy and efficiency.
- Flash FPGA VersaTile:The programmable logic VersaTile elements of Fusion allow synthesis and mapping tools to use any tile as a three-input lookup table equivalent, a D-flip-flop, or latch (with or without enable). Fusion devices with VersaTiles offer an abundance of registers, so you can often choose a smaller device and still meet register requirements.
- SRAM and FIFOs:Fusion devices have embedded dual-port SRAM and FIFO blocks along the north and south sides of the device. Each variable-aspect-ratio SRAM block is 4,608 bits in size. Available memory configurations are 256x18, 512x9, 1kx4, 2kx2, and 4kx1 bits. The individual blocks have independent read and write ports that can be configured with different bit widths on each port. Dedicated FIFO control logic enables flexible and efficient FIFO implementations.
- Integrated Oscillators — Crystal and RC:Fusion includes a complete collection of clocking resources: crystal oscillator circuit, 1% RC oscillator, RTC, NGMUX, and phase-locked loops (PLLs). Fusion devices can generate, multiply, divide, phase shift, and distribute clock signals for both on-chip and off-chip use, eliminating the need for external clock sources.
- Routing Structure:Fusion provides millions of flash cell switches and an abundance of hierarchical routing resources, enabling extensive design and routing flexibility. VersaNet (segmented global) routing allows high-fanout nets to traverse small or large areas of the Fusion devices with flexibility and low skew. The VersaNet network is used automatically by the software tools to route clocks and high-fanout nets.
- JTAG:Fusion devices use industry standard JTAG programming (IEEE 1532). In addition, Fusion devices support board-level JTAG (IEEE 1149) I/O boundary scan.
