3.1.3 Analog Design

The MSS configurator provides graphical configuration for current, voltage and temperature monitors, sample sequencing setup and post-processing configuration, as well as DAC output.

The MSS configurator creates a bridge between the FPGA fabric and embedded designers so device configuration can be easily shared between multiple developers.

The MSS configurator includes the following:

  • A simple configurator for the embedded designer to control the MSS peripherals and I/Os
  • A method to import and view a hardware configuration from the FPGA flow into the embedded flow containing the memory map
  • Automatic generation of drivers for any peripherals or soft IP used in the system configuration
  • Comprehensive analog configuration for the programmable analog components
  • Creation of a standard MSS block to be used in SmartDesign for connection of FPGA fabric designs and IP
