SmartFusion Intelligent Mixed Signal FPGAs in Motor Control Applications
This video provides an exploration of Motor Control applications using Actel's SmartFusion™ intelligent mixed signal flash FPGAs for field-oriented closed-loop motor control for brushless DC (PMSM) motors, with a closer look at your challenges and a look into the Actel motor control development kit currently in development.
A Validated Methodology for Designing Safe Industrial Systems on a Chip
This white paper explores an industrial system on a chip (SoC) to explain how engineers can save up to 18 months of design time in achieving industrial product certification according to IEC 61508. Altera’s Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) Functional Safety Data Package, which includes a certificate for Altera tools, IP, and device data from TÜV Rheinland, shortens and simplifies development of safe applications according to IEC 61508 while efficiently addressing the needs for low-cost and highly integrated embedded systems.

Intelligent Power Management with SmartFusion Intelligent Mixed Signal FPGA
The Mixed Signal Power Manager (MPM) reference design delivers flexible power management configured using the standalone MPM PC GUI tool to bear on power sequencing and management.
Five Ways to Build Flexibility into Industrial Applications with FPGAs
As industrial system complexity increases, FPGAs offer the ability to integrate an entire system on a chip (SoC), at a lower cost compared to discrete MCU, DSP, ASSP, or ASIC solutions. This document describes using an Altera industrial-grade FPGA as a coprocessor or SoC to bring flexibility to industrial applications. Providing a single, highly integrated platform for multiple industrial products, Altera FPGAs can substantially reduce development time and risk.

Designing with Multiple Industrial Ethernet Standards on a Single Hardware Platform
When developing and maintaining industrial communications hardware, supporting new or additional industrial Ethernet protocols often requires new hardware and corresponding software stacks. Rather than re-spinning your boards and migrating software code, you can save time and resources by choosing FPGAs.
Maximize Design Productivity With PCIe/104 FPGA/Processor
In this episode of Chalk TalkHD Amelia chats with Christine Van De Graaf of Kontron, who explain how Kontron is incorporating pre-made, small form factor boards, a high-performance embedded processor programmable logic into their new MSMST board and how we can get started designing with one.
