| 1 | Flash Pro 4 programmer |
| 1 | 9 V power supply with international adapters |
| 1 | Quick start card |
Overview
The Fusion® Starter Kit contains basic requirements for fully experimenting
with SoC Products Groups Fusion Analog mixed signal FPGA capabilities. The
starter kit includes all I/Os connected to headers that can be connected to an
external system and isolated from other components on the board.
The Fusion architecture provides access to a one-chip flash FPGA solution
containing both analog and digital components, including a built-in flash
drive.
Jumper Settings
There are several special jumpers and pins on the starter kit that need
attention. Select the appropriate jumper settings for your design. Function
and location of each jumper is available in the Fusion Starter Kit User’s
Guide. See the Documentation Resources section for more information.
Before powering up the board for running demo design, make sure the jumpers
are in the following positions.
| Jumper | Development Kit Function | Setting | Voltage |
|---|---|---|---|
| JP25 | Selects value of VMV1 | 2–3 | 3.3 V |
| JP26 | Selects value of VMV0 | 2–3 | 3.3 V |
| JP27 | VJTAG voltage selection | 2–3 | 3.3 V |
| JP28 | Determines whether 1.5 V is internally generated or externally | ||
| generated | 1–2 | Internal 1.5 V regulator |
Running the Demo Design
To test the board, you can program the board with the demo design. The
programming file for the demo can be downloaded from the Fusion Starter Kit
Quick start Card on the Fusion Starter Kit page. See the Documentation
Resources section for more information.
The demo design configures the ADC input channels to sample the voltage and
current provided to different loads, and the temperature from an on-board
temperature sensor. Single-color LEDs and LCD are used to demonstrate the
voltage levels, and a tricolour LED is used to indicate the different
temperature levels with different colors.
After successful programming, the LCD shows “FUSION” after board power-up. The
following table lists the different functionalities of the potentiometer,
LEDs, and switches on the Fusion evaluation board for the demo design.
On-Board Devices and Functions
| Device | Function |
|---|---|
| Potentiometer R50 | Turning the potentiometer drives AV0 with analog voltage 0 |
V–5 V.
LED D5| When AV0 > 1.5 V, D5 lights up.
LED D6| When AV0 > 2.5 V, D6 lights up.
LED D7| When AV0 > 3.3 V, D7 lights up.
LED D8| When AV0 > 4.5 V, D8 lights up.
Switch SW7| When depressed, the PUB pad is grounded to power up the voltage
regulator.
Switch SW6| When depressed, generates a ‘1’ to reset the 2-bit counter.
Switch SW5| When depressed, generates a clock pulse to the 2-bit counter.
Switch SW4| When depressed, shows the AFS600 core current on the LCD.
Switch SW3| When depressed, shows the AFS600 core voltage on the LCD.
Switch SW2| When depressed, shows the temperature sensed by the temperature
sensor on the LCD.
Switch SW1| When depressed, shows the potentiometer output voltage on the LCD.
Tricolor LED U1| When temperature AT > 20 °C, the LED lights up blue.
Tricolor LED U1| When temperature AT > 30 °C, the LED lights up green.
Tricolor LED U1| When temperature AT > 40 °C, the LED lights up red.
