Pigeon Point Board Management Reference
Pigeon Point Systems (PPS) updated their board management reference (BMR) starter kit for AdvancedTCA management controllers. The updated board management reference includes support for advanced in-shelf network attachment via the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) standard. The NC-SI support is implemented in BMR solutions based on the Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGA. These and corresponding solutions [...]
Actel Mixed-Signal Power Manager
The Mixed-Signal Power Manager (MPM), from Actel, is a reference design and graphical user interface (GUI) tool included in the Fusion Advanced Development Kit. MPM helps designers control and reduce power at the system level. It offers fully-verified, timing-closed, proven-in-hardware power supervision and management capabilities. Designers can configure power management sequencing, levels, or thresholds using [...]
Actel Design Examples for Low-Power FPGA Applications
Actel introduced eight free design examples for use with their low-power, flash-based FPGAs. The design examples are optimized for use with Actel’s low power ProASIC 3 FPGAs and IGLOO FPGAs, including the lowest power FPGAs in the industry, IGLOO nano. The design examples are specifically targeted at designs requiring a low-power companion solution for input/output [...]
