Microsemi SF2-DEV-KIT Smart Fusion2 Development Kit

Kit Contents – SF2-DEV-KIT

Overview

Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 Development Kit offers a full-featured development board for SmartFusion2 System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGAs, which integrate inherently reliable flash-based FPGA fabric, a 166 MHz ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, advanced security processing accelerators, DSP blocks, SRAM, eNVM and industry-required high-performance communication interfaces, all on a single chip. The board contains numerous transceivers to support the built-in microcontroller subsystem, such as high speed USB 2.0 On-the-Go (OTG), CAN RS232, RS484, and IEEE1588 time-stamping and Sync E capable Triple Speed Ethernet PHYs. The kit ships with a wall mounted power supply but also has the option to be powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE), includes a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and has IEEE 1588 packet time-stamping capabilities. There is also 512 MB of on-board DDR3 memory and SPI flash to utilize the SmartFusion2 memory management system. The SERDES blocks can be accessed via the PCI edge connector or high speed SMP connectors.
