Actel Corporation is a supplier of innovative programmable logic solutions, including FPGAs, based on Antifuse and Flash technologies. To support customers developing products based on their FPGAs Actel offer high-performance intellectual property (IP) cores, integrated software development tools, programming tools, debug & demo boards, and design services. All ACTEL programmable devices offer the highest levels of design security and the lowest operating power. There are no bit streams to copy and programming the on chip security bit ensures the device fuse map can not be read back. In addition Actels patented Antifuse and Flash technologies reduce operating and standby power and provide Instant On operation making them ideal for portable and battery powered applications.
Flash FPGAs are nonvolatile, combining the advantages of ASICs with the benefits of re-programmability. Designers are able to create high density systems using existing ASIC or FPGA design flows and tools. ASIC migration is not necessary for any volume because Actel's Flash families offer cost effective reprogrammable solutions, making them ideal for applications in networking, telecom, computer and consumer markets.
Actel antifuse FPGAs combine the benefits of programmable logic and ASICs for a 'programmable ASIC solution'. They are single chip, nonvolatile and are live on power-up. They are ideal ASIC alternatives that offer significant cost savings while maintaining high performance and low power. In addition Actel Antifuse technology ensures design security and gets your design to market quicker than an ASIC alternative.
The Actel IGLOO™ family of reprogrammable, full-featured Flash FPGAs is designed to meet the demanding power and area requirements of today's portable electronics. Based on the Actel nonvolatile Flash technology and single-chip ProASIC3 FPGA architecture, the 1.2 V / 1.5 V operating voltage family offers the industry's lowest power consumption—as low as 5 µW. The IGLOO family supports up to 3 million system gates with up to 504 kbits of true dual-port SRAM, up to 6 embedded PLLs, and up to 616 user I/Os.
The Actel Fusion Programmable System Chip (PSC) is the world's first mixed-signal FPGA, integrating configurable analog, large Flash memory blocks, comprehensive clock generation and management circuitry, and high performance programmable logic in a monolithic device. The innovative Actel Fusion architecture can be used with Actel soft MCU cores and is the definitive Programmable System Chip platform.
ARM7 is the most widely used 32-bit RISC microprocessor. Actel's CoreMP7 is a soft IP version of the popular ARM7TDMI-S™ that has been optimized to maximize speed and minimize size in Actel's Flash-based FPGAs. With CoreMP7, Actel is bringing ARM7 to the masses with no upfront licensing fees and no royalties. CoreMP7 is available for use in M7 Flash family devices, which have been made ARM-ready for seamless use of the processor core.
