Try to see up close the solution Actel's SmartFusion / Microsemi (http://www.actel.com/products/smartfusion/default.aspx) and you will discover that in order to complete your project you need to add only the printed circuit board and the desire to try to innovate your projects with our solutions!
From a single component can have:
Microcontroller Unit
- Micro Cortex-M3 32-bit 100Mhz up to 512KB Flash / 64KB Ram
- Bus Master 5, 8 Bus slave parallel operations for real-time
- 8-channel DMA
- Ethernet MAC 10/100
- Serial SPI, UART 16550, I2C
- External bus addresses 26-bit 16-bit data
- Up to 41 digital I / O dedicated
- WDOG integrated with various configurations of alarm
- Regulator power for the generation of the core voltage 1.5 V
- Power on reset control
Unit Analog
- Up to 3 S / H type 12-bit SAR 500KSPS
- Up to 3 DAC outputs 12-bit sigma delta 600KSPS
- Up to 32 analog inputs dedicated
- Bipolar Inputs + / - 12V
- Inputs for measuring current
- Inputs for temperature measurements
- Up to 10 programmable threshold comparators with internal
- Unit pre process for complex management of acquisition sequences
- Unit of post-processing of samples for automatic digital filtering
Unit FPGA
- Up to 500Kgate in Flash technology with low consumption (up to 11,520 Flip flop of type D)
- PLL dedicated up to 3 frequencies generated from single source
- DPRAM FIFO or up to 24 blocks of 4608 bits each (user configurable)
- Up to 128 dedicated I / O FPGA
And of course the possibility of reprogramming both the content of the FPGA directly with the micro-board, both the FW on Flash.
Security ABSOLUTE content both micro and FPGA
