Model
CoreAI (Analog Interface) allows for simple control of
the analog peripherals within the Fusion family of Actel
devices. Control may be implemented with an internal or
external microprocessor or microcontroller (such as
Core8051 or CoreMP7), or with user-created custom logic
within the FPGA fabric. The industry-standard AMBA
(Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) APB
(Advanced Peripheral Bus) slave interface is used as the
primary control mechanism within CoreAI.

CoreAI
ACM (Analog Configuration MUX) interface, Analog
Quads, and RTC (Real-Time Counter). The ACM interface,
within the AB macro, is used to control configuration of
the Analog Quads and RTC in the Fusion device. CoreAI
generates the control signals used by the ACM, including
its clock signal, which is generated by an internal clock
divider. The ACM clock divider is used to ensure that the
ACM interface is clocked at a frequency less than or
equal to 10 MHz (refer to "ACM Interface" on page 18
for details). For more details on the silicon features of
the AB macro, such as the Analog Quads, RTC, or ACM,
refer to the Fusion datasheet.
Several aspects of CoreAI can be configured using toplevel parameters (Verilog) or generics (VHDL). For a
detailed description of the parameters/generics, refer to
Table 4 on page 6.
The CoreAI block diagram is shown in Figure 1. A typical
application using CoreAI is shown in Figure 2.

CoreAI Verification
The comprehensive simulation testbench verifies correct operation of the CoreAI macro.
The testbench applies several tests to the CoreAI macro, including the following:
•
Voltage monitor, current monitor, and temperature monitor tests
•
RTC tests
•
Gate-driver control tests
Using the supplied testbench as a guide, the user can alter the verification of the core by adding custom tests or
removing existing tests.

I/O Signal Descriptions
The port signals for the CoreAI macro are defined in Table 3 and illustrated in Figure 3. CoreAI has 120 I/O signals.
Note that vector notation is used in Figure 3 for the AV, AC, AT, ATRETURN, DDGDON, DAVOUT, DACOUT, DATOUT,
AG, and RTCXTLMODE ports; however, these ports are actually split into individual single-bit ports, as described in
Table 3. For example, there are two individual output ports, RTCXTLMODE1 and RTCXTLMODE0, rather than one
vectored output port RTCXTLMODE[1:0].

Parameter/Generic Descriptions
CoreAI has parameters (Verilog) and generics (VHDL), described in Table 4, for configuring the RTL code. All
parameters and generics are integer types.
Table 4 • CoreAI Parameters/Generics Descriptions
Name
Valid Range
Description
APB_16BIT_DATA
0 or 1
Set this to 1 if the APB reads and writes are using all 16-bits of the
PRDATA[15:0] and PWDATA[15:0] ports, or to 0 if 8-bit APB reads and writes
are done on the PRDATA[15:0] and PWDATA[15:0] ports. If 8-bit APB reads
and writes are used, only the lower eight bits of each port are used, i.e.,
PRDATA[7:0] and PWDATA[7:0]; PWDATA[15:8] should be tied statically high
or low and PRDATA[15:8] should be left unconnected in this case. Note that
for 16-bit reads and writes, the internal address map shown in Table 9 on
page 11 will concatenate adjacent bytes since PADDR[0] will be ignored; in
this case, each byte that is addressed by PADDR[0] = 0 will correspond to the
LSB and each byte that is addressed by PADDR[0] = 1 will correspond to the
MSB of each 16-bit word. The default value of 0 uses 8-bit APB reads and
writes.
ACTLOW_INTERRUPT
0 or 1
Interrupt Active Low: Set this to 1 if the INTERRUPT output polarity is active
low, or to 0 if the INTERRUPT output polarity is active high. The default value
of 0 is active high.
DISABLE_INTERRUPT
0 or 1
Disable Interrupt: Set this to 1 if the INTERRUPT output will not be used, in
which case the INTERRUPT output will be fixed at the inactive polarity chosen
by ACTLOW_INTERRUPT, i.e., INTERRUPT = ACTLOW_INTERRUPT; set this to 0
if the INTERRUPT output is used. The default value of 0 uses the INTERRUPT
output.
Note: *Invalid values are 3, 7, 11, and 15 (refer to the Fusion datasheet).

ACM_CLK_DIV
Valid Range
Description
1 to 4
Set this to the division value to generate the ACM clock, which has a
maximum frequency of 10 MHz. The actual value will be the frequency of
PCLK divided by (2ACM_CLK_DIV); valid values are 1–4. The default value of 1
sets the ACM clock at half the PCLK frequency.
Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the ACM clock has a
maximum operating frequency of 10 MHz.
USE_RTC
0 or 1
Use RTC: Set this to 1 if the RTC is to be used, or to 0 if the RTC is not to be
used. The default value of 0 does not use the RTC.
USE_RDFIFO
0 or 1
Use Read FIFO: Set this to 1 if using an internal data FIFO for storing up to 256
ADC conversion results for later reading by a microprocessor, or to 0 if not
using the FIFO. The default value of 0 does not use a read FIFO.
0 to 255
Read FIFO Almost Empty Value: Set this 8-bit integer to the fixed almost empty
value of the read FIFO. This value determines when the almost empty flag
output from the read FIFO becomes active; it represents the number of 16-bit
ADC conversion result words that are left to be read before the read FIFO will
be empty.
USE_RDFIFO_AEVAL
Note: This is only used if USE_RDFIFO = 1.
USE_RDFIFO_AFVAL
0 to 255
Read FIFO Almost Full Value: Set this 8-bit integer to the fixed almost full value
of the read FIFO. This value determines when the almost full flag output from
the read FIFO becomes active; it represents the number of 16-bit ADC
conversion result words that are left to be written before the read FIFO will be
full.
Note: This is only used if USE_RDFIFO = 1.
FIXED_VAREFSEL
0 or 1
Set this to 1 if the VAREFSEL input pin of the AB macro is to be fixed, or to 0 to
allow register-controlled VAREFSEL setting (saves some logic tiles for a fixed
system). The default value of 0 does not have a fixed VAREFSEL setting.
FIXED_VAREFSEL_VAL
0 or 1
Fixed VAREFSEL Value: Set this to a 1-bit constant value (set in higher-level
wrapper). Set to 1 to select external VAREF as input, 0 to select internal VAREF
as output.
Note: This is only used if FIXED_VAREFSEL = 1.
FIXED_MODE
FIXED_MODE_VAL
FIXED_TVC
FIXED_TVC_VAL
0 or 1
Set this to 1 if the MODE[3:0] pins of the AB macro are a fixed constant, or to
0 to allow register-controlled MODE[3:0] setting (saves some logic tiles for a
fixed system). The default of 0 does not have a fixed MODE[3:0] setting.
0 to 2,
4 to 6,
8 to 10,
12 to 14*
Fixed MODE Value: Set this to the integer value of the 4-bit fixed constant
connected to the MODE[3:0] input pins of the AB macro (controls ADC
resolution, etc.).
0 or 1
Set this to 1 if the TVC[7:0] pins of the AB macro are a fixed constant, or to 0
to allow register-controlled TVC[7:0] setting (saves some logic tiles for a fixed
system). The default value of 0 does not have a fixed TVC[7:0] setting.
0 to 255
Fixed TVC Value: Set this to the integer value of the 8-bit fixed constant
connected to the TVC[7:0] inputs of the AB macro.
Note: This is only used if FIXED_MODE = 1.
Note: This is only used if FIXED_TVC = 1.
FIXED_STC
0 or 1
Set this to 1 if the STC[7:0] pins of the AB macro are a fixed constant, or to 0
to allow register-controlled STC[7:0] setting (saves some logic tiles for a fixed
system). The default value of 0 does not have a fixed STC[7:0] setting.
Note: *Invalid values are 3, 7, 11, and 15 (refer to the Fusion datasheet).

Note: This is only used if FIXED_STC = 1.
DISABLE_TMSTBINT
0 or 1
Disable Internal Temperature Monitor Strobe: Set this 1-bit integer to disable
the internal temperature monitor strobes. If this bit is set to 1, the TMSTBINT
input is disabled; if it is set to 0, the TMSTBINT input is register-controlled. The
default value of 0 allows the internal temperature monitor strobe to be
controlled via register settings.

CFG_AV0
0 to 1,023
Configure AVx Inputs: Set each of these 10-bit integers to configure the AV9
through AV0 inputs that are connected to the AB macro. The lower 8 bits of
each of these 10-bit integers are reserved for generating firmware settings for
the target processor used with CoreAI and are ignored by the CoreAI
hardware. The upper 2 bits are used to create the settings for each AVx input,
shown in Table 5 on page 9.
For example, if CFG_AV5 is set to the binary value 0000000000 (decimal 0),
the AV5 input will be used as an analog voltage monitor input. If CFG_AV5 is
set to the binary value 0100000000 (decimal 256), the AV5 input will be used
as a digital input, and the buffered DAVOUT5 output would be connected to
the user’s own logic. If CFG_AV5 is set to the binary value 1100000000
(decimal 768), the AV5 input will be disabled; in this case, the CoreAI AV5
input will not be used and the AV5 input of the AB macro will be hardwired to
logic 0 within CoreAI.

Configure ACx Inputs: Set each of these 10-bit integers to configure the AC9
through AC0 inputs that are connected to the AB macro. The lower 8 bits of
each of these 10-bit integers are reserved for generating firmware settings for
the target processor used with CoreAI and are ignored by the CoreAI
hardware. The upper 2 bits are used to create the settings for each ACx input,
shown in Table 6 on page 9.
For example, if CFG_AC7 is set to the binary value 0000000000 (decimal 0),
the AC7 input will be used as an analog current monitor input. If CFG_AC7 is
set to the binary value 0100000000 (decimal 256), the AC7 input will be used
as a digital input, and the buffered DACOUT7 output would be connected to
the user’s own logic. If CFG_AC7 is set to the binary value 1000000000
(decimal 512), the AC7 input will be used as an analog voltage monitor input.
If CFG_AC7 is set to the binary value 1100000000 (decimal 768), the AC7
input will be disabled; in this case, the CoreAI AC7 input will not be used and
the AC7 input of the AB macro will be hardwired to logic 0 within CoreAI.

Configure ATx Inputs: Set each of these 10-bit integers to configure the AT9

each of these 10-bit integers are reserved for generating firmware settings for
the target processor used with CoreAI and are ignored by the CoreAI

shown in Table 7 on page 10.
For example, if CFG_AT2 is set to the binary value 0000000000 (decimal 0),
the AT2 input will be used as an analog temperature monitor input. If
CFG_AT2 is set to the binary value 0100000000 (decimal 256), the AT2 input
will be used as a digital input, and the buffered DATOUT2 output would be
connected to the user’s own logic. If CFG_AT2 is set to the binary value

monitor input. If CFG_AT2 is set to the binary value 1100000000 (decimal

Configure Gate Drivers: Set each of these 10-bit integers to configure the

are reserved for generating firmware settings for the target processor used
with CoreAI and are ignored by the CoreAI hardware. The upper 2 bits are
used to create the settings shown in Table 8 on page 10.
For example, if CFG_GD1 is set to the binary value 0000000000 (decimal 0),
the AG1 gate-driver output will be controlled by a software-controlled register
within CoreAI (ADC Control Register 5). If CFG_GD1 is set to the binary value
0100000000 (decimal 256), the DDGDON1 input (connected to the user’s
own logic) will be used to directly control the AG1 gate-driver output. If
CFG_GD1 is set to the binary value 1100000000 (decimal 768), the AG1
output will be disabled; in this case, the CoreAI AG1 output will not be used
and the GDON1 input of the AB macro will be hardwired to logic 0 within
CoreAI.

Internal CoreAI Registers
The internal register address map and reset values of
each APB-accessible register for CoreAI are shown in
Table 9 on page 11. In the case of 8-bit APB reads and
writes (APB_16BIT_DATA = 0), each PADDR[4:0] address is
significant and contains the byte listed in the far right
column; however, when 16-bit APB reads and writes are
used (APB_16BIT_DATA = 1), PADDR[4:1] addresses
contain one 16-bit word, where each two adjacent rows
in Table 9 on page 11 contain the low-order and highorder bytes, consecutively (PADDR[0] is unused in this
case).
Table 10 on page 12 through Table 31 on page 17
describe the various APB-accessible registers within
CoreAI. Unless otherwise stated, each register can be
read from or written to by an internal or external
microprocessor/microcontroller. All registers are listed
assuming 8-bit APB reads and writes; if 16-bit APB reads
and writes are used, add 8 to each item in the "Bits"
column for high-order bytes (Table 11 on page 12,
Table 15 on page 13, Table 17 on page 13, Table 19 on
page 14, Table 21 on page 14, Table 23 on page 14,
Table 25 on page 15, Table 29 on page 16, and Table 31
on page 17).

When reading from register bits that are write-only or
unused (reserved), a logic 0 will be returned. When
writing to register bits that are read-only or unused
(reserved), no action takes place.
The INTERRUPT output is generated as the logical OR of
the interrupt enable bits (INTEN[14:0]) ANDed with the
interrupt status bits (INT[14:0]), as shown in Figure 4.

Note that after an APB read of the interrupt status registers has been performed, each INT[14:0] bit will be cleared if
its condition is no longer valid. If an APB read of the interrupt status registers has just occurred coincident with a
pending interrupt condition, the interrupt condition will have priority in order to prevent a missed
interrupt.

Read FIFO Data Output
If CoreAI is used in 8-bit APB read/write mode, the read FIFO must be read twice to retrieve one
ADC sample of result data (two bytes); in this case, the low-order byte would be read first and the
high-order byte second. Note also that in 8-bit APB read/write mode, the read FIFO will not become
empty until the last high-order byte has been read from the FIFO, i.e., an even number of reads
must occur. If CoreAI is used in 16-bit APB read/write mode, the read FIFO will be read as one 16-bit
word at once (with only the lower 12 bits being significant, since the ADC result has 12 bits of
resolution); in this case, DOUT[15:0] will appear on the PRDATA[15:0] output port, rather than
DOUT[7:0] appearing on PRDATA[7:0] as in 8-bit mode.

ACM Interface
The internal address map of the ACM is shown in
Table 32.
The ACM interface is used to configure the analog quads
and RTC within the AB macro. Various features of the
analog quads need to be set prior to correct operation of
the ADC, including the pre-scaler circuits in each of the
AV, AC, and AT analog input ports that will be accessed
in the user’s design. The SmartGen software, included
with Libero IDE, can be used to configure the various
pre-scaler settings for each quad, as well as the functions
used (voltage monitor, current monitor, temperature
monitor, gate-driver output driver strengths, etc.).
Consult the Fusion datasheet for details on how each
pre-scaler should be set, relative to the design-specific
voltage, current, or temperature ranges used.
Note that the ACM must operate with a clock frequency
that is less than or equal to 10 MHz; to achieve this
requirement, the user must set the clock-divider
appropriately via the ACM_CLK_DIV parameter/generic.
For example, if the system clock frequency (PCLK) is
50 MHz, ACM_CLK_DIV can be set to 3, which would
generate an ACM clock frequency of 50/(23) = 6.25 MHz.
ACM reads and writes are synchronized to the internally
generated ACM clock. Since the ACM clock is operating
at a lower frequency than the system clock (PCLK) used
by CoreAI, various status and interrupt status registers
have been implemented to indicate when ACM read and
write accesses are busy or completed (see Table 10 on
page 12 and Table 30 on page 17).

RTC Operation
ACM interface address map listed in Table 32 on page 18.
Control of the RTC is primarily accomplished via writes to
the RTC CTRL_STAT (Control/Status) register at ACM
address 0x58 (88), which is listed in Table 33. Status
information is primarily obtained by reading the same
register.
For detailed data on the connection and operation of
the 40-bit real-time counter block within the AB macro,
refer to the Fusion datasheet.
The SmartGen software can be used to configure the
RTC. The internal registers of the RTC are accessed via the
Table 33 • RTC Control/Status Register
Bits
Name
Function
7
rtc_rst
RTC Reset: Writing logic 1 to this bit causes an RTC reset.1 Writing logic 0 to this bit will allow
synchronous removal of reset after two ACM_CLK cycles if VCC33UP = 1.2
6
cntr_en
Counter Enable: Writing logic 1 to this bit will enable the counter if the RTC is not in reset. After
reset is removed and cntr_en = 1, 64 RTCCLK positive edges (one-half of the pre-scaler division
factor) will elapse before the counter is incremented.3 A logic 0 in this bit resets the pre-scaler and
therefore suspends incrementing the counter, but the counter is not reset. Before writing to the
COUNTER registers, the counter must be disabled.
5
vr_en_mat
Voltage Regulator Enable on Match: Writing logic 1 to this bit will allow the RTCMATCH output
port to transition to logic 1 when a match occurs between the 40-bit counter and the 40-bit match
register. Logic 0 forces RTCMATCH to logic 0 to prevent enabling the voltage regulator from the
RTC.
4:3
xt_mode[1:0]
Crystal Oscillator Mode: These bits control the RTCXTLMODE[1:0] output ports that are connected
to the RTCMODE[1:0] input pins of the crystal oscillator pad. For 32 kHz crystal operation, this
should be set to "01".
2
rst_cnt_omat
Reset Counter on Match: Writing logic 1 to this bit allows the counter to clear itself when a match
occurs. In this situation, the 40-bit counter clears on the next rising edge of the pre-scaled clock,
approximately 4 ms after the match occurs (the pre-scaled clock toggles at a rate of 256 Hz, given
a 32.768 kHz external crystal). Writing logic 0 to this bit allows the counter to increment
indefinitely while still allowing match events to occur.
1
rstb_cnt
Counter Reset: Writing logic 0 to this bit resets the 40-bit counter value to 0. Writing logic 1 allows
the counter to count.
0
xtal_en
Crystal Oscillator Enable: This bit controls the RTCXTLSEL output port that is connected to the
SELMODE input pin of the crystal oscillator. If a logic 0 is written to this bit, only the FPGA fabric
can be used to control the crystal oscillator EN and MODE[1:0] inputs. If a logic 1 is written to this
bit, only the RTC can be used to control the RTCXTLSEL and RTCMODE[1:0] inputs of the crystal
oscillator. This bit must be set to 1 to allow the RTC counter to function if the 1.5 V supply is off.
Notes:
1. Reset of all RTC states (except this Control/Status register) occurs asynchronously if VCC33UP = 0 or CTRL_STAT bit 7 (rtc_rst) is
written to 1.
2. Reset is removed synchronously after 2 rising edges of the ACM_CLK, following both VCC33UP = 1 and rtc_rst = 0.
3. Counter will first increment on the 64th rising edge of RTCCLK after all of the following are true: reset is removed, the rstb_cnt bit
is set to 1, and the cntr_en bit is set to 1; it will then increment every 128 RTCCLK cycles.

CoreAI
ADC Operation
(internal or external), mode selection
resolution), and clock divider settings.
Control of the ADC within the AB macro in CoreAI is
accomplished by APB reads and writes. After a power-up
reset condition, the ADC will come out of its reset state
and commence with its internal calibration sequence.
When this calibration sequence has finished, the ADC
will be ready to use for conversions. Read the INT[1:0]
register bits to obtain status information relevant to the
ADC calibration.
The user must configure the analog quads
appropriately via the ACM interface to match the
required design-specific voltage, current, and
temperature ranges prior to performing ADC
conversions; failure to do so may result in damage to
the Fusion device. The SmartGen software can be used to
configure the analog quads and RTC.
ADC Control
A typical analog-to-digital conversion is shown starting
in Figure 7 and ending in Figure 8 on page 23. The steps
for performing an ADC conversion are as follows:
1. Read the ADC Status register to ensure that the ADC
is not busy calibrating or performing a conversion.
2. Write the desired ADC settings to ADC Control
register 1, including the voltage reference selection
3. Write the desired ADC settings to ADC Control
register 2, including the sample time control and
channel number to sample (1 of 32).
4. Set the Start Conversion bit to begin the
conversion process.
5. If a current or temperature monitor operation is
used on a corresponding AC or AT input pin, a write
must be done to set the corresponding current or
temperature monitor strobe high in ADC Control
register 3 or ADC Control register 4, respectively.
Refer to the Fusion datasheet for details on
external component connection requirements for
current and temperature monitoring.
6. Keep reading the high-order ADC Status register
until the ADC is not busy performing a conversion.
7. If a current or temperature monitor operation has
completed using a corresponding AC or AT input
pin, a write must be done to set the corresponding
current or temperature monitor strobe low in ADC
Control register 3 or ADC Control register 4,
respectively.
8. Read the low-order ADC Status register to obtain
the lower 8 bits of the resulting ADC conversion
data (the upper 4 bits of conversion data have
already been read from the high-order ADC Status
register).

ADC Result Read FIFO
Note that although the ADC conversion results are
stored as one 16-bit word, the four upper bits of this 16bit word are reserved for possible future use. Since there
is no channel information associated with each ADC
conversion word, it is up to the user to maintain
temporal coherency between conversions and resulting
data.
An optional read FIFO, capable of holding up to 256
analog-to-digital conversions, is instantiated in CoreAI
when the USE_RDFIFO parameter/generic is set to 1. The
controlling element that is connected to CoreAI (internal
or external microprocessor or microcontroller, or custom
FPGA logic) can read resulting ADC conversions from this
FIFO when desired. Resulting ADC conversion data is
always written into the FIFO 12 bits at once, regardless of
the ADC resolution (8-, 10-, or 12-bit), and is MSBjustified so that the resulting values are always of the
same order of magnitude. The steps for reading resulting
ADC conversion data from the read FIFO are as follows:
Interrupt Logic
Although polling operations have been described to
control the ACM and ADC, wherein status registers are
periodically read (polled), the INTERRUPT output may be
connected to a microprocessor or microcontroller to
indicate similar events (e.g., ACM reads and writes
completing, ADC calibration events, read FIFO events,
etc.). In this case, interrupt service routines may be
written in software to determine what actions, if any,
should be taken for each of the interrupt events. Any or
all interrupt events can be disabled by writing logic 0
values to the INTEN[14:0] register bits to mask the effect
of each of the interrupt sources; it is the responsibility of
the microprocessor/microcontroller software developer
to determine what should or should not be masked.
1. Read the Read FIFO Status register to check if
there is data in the FIFO (not empty).
2. If the APB_16BIT_DATA parameter/generic is set to
0 (8-bit mode), read the Read FIFO Data Output
register twice in a row to retrieve the lower 8 bits
then the upper 4 bits of ADC conversion data. If
the APB_16BIT_DATA parameter/generic is set to 1
(16-bit mode), read the Read FIFO Data Output
register once to retrieve all 12 bits of ADC
conversion data.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the Read FIFO is empty.
