FPSLICTM Atmel's AT94K family of Field Programmable System Level Integrated Circuits (FPSLICTM devices) combine all the basic system build blocks (logic, memory and uC) in an SRAM based monolithic field programmable device. The FPSLIC programmable SLI platform allows true system level designs to be implemented without the need for expensive NRE (non-recurring engineering) charges or costly software tools. FPSLIC for the first time puts system level integration on every designers desk. FPSLIC devices combine 10K to 40K gates of Atmel's patented AT40K FPGA architecture, a 30 MIPS AVR 8-bit RISC microprocessor core, numerous fixed microcontroller peripheries and a total of 36K Bytes of program and data SRAM. The FPSLIC design software (System Designer) is based on tried and tested software tools. The System Designer environment from Atmel includes modified version of the mature FPGA development tools and the AVR studio tools. In addition Atmel has combined state of the art co-verification tools to allow concurrent hardware and software development and debugging greatly reducing overall time to market. |
