FPSLIC™ (AVR with FPGA) - Overview

SLI - just went programmable...
The FPSLIC (Field Programmable System Level Integrated Circuits) family of devices incorporates upto 40,000 gates of AT40K FPGA, 36K Bytes of SRAM, the 30 MIPS 8-bit AVR RISC microcontroller core and fixed peripherials on a monolthic device. For the first time all the components of a system are available in a high-performance field programmable device.

FPSLIC is All About Time To Market
Atmel has solved the problem or system integration, debug and testing, by providing a complete system development productivity enviroment. Co-verification tools allow for concurrent software and hardware development and debug. Design problems are identified earlier in the design process allowing them to be fixed quickly and minimising their impact on project schedules.

Focus on design not implementation
By combining industry standard development tools and tried and tested design methodology the System Designer™ software is a system architects dream. We have taken mature tools and combined them with standard 3rd party design entry and verification tools to provide the ideal environment for rapid, bug free development and 'what if' analysis. Make trade-offs between software and hardware implementations of an algorithim. Save power by running complex DSP functions in FPGA. Reconfigure FPGA on the fly from the microcontroller to update your latest encryption algorithim. Create your dream product with the interfaces and peripherial on it needed to make your designs fly. These are just some of the ideas System Designer will help you develop.
