Overview

Microsemi’s SmartFusion®2 SoC FPGA Advanced Development Kit offers a full featured 150K LE device

SmartFusion2 system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA. This 150K LE device inherently integrates reliable flash-based FPGA

fabric, a 166 MHz Cortex™-M3 processor digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, static random-access memory

(SRAM), embedded nonvolatile memory (eNVM), and industry-required high-performance communication interfaces—

all on a sing l e ch ip.

The Advanced Development Kit board has numerous standard and advanced peripherals such as: PCIe®x4 edge

connector, two FMC connectors for using many off the shel f daugh te r cards, USB, Phil ips inter-integrated circuit (I2C),

two gigabit Ethern et ports, serial pe ripheral interface (SPI), and UART. A high precision operational amplifier circuitry

on the board helps to measure core power consumption by the device.

The SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA memory management system is supported by 1 GByte (GB) of on-board double data

rate3 (DDR3) memory and 2 GBytes (GB) SPI flash—1GB connected to the Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) and

1GB connected to the FPGA fabric. The serializer and deserializer (SERDES) blocks can be accessed through the

peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) edge connector or high speed sub-miniature push-on (SMA)

connectors or through on-board FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) connector.

This kit enables you to design applications that involve one or more of the following :

• Microprocessor applications

• Embedded ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor-based systems

• Motor control

• Industrial automation
