Actel offers new low-power IGLOO and ProASIC3 FPGAs for US$0.99
(Product News, 27 Feb 2008 )
Directly addressing design requirements for programmable solutions that meet ever-tightening power and cost budgets, Actel Corporation announced the addition of two new members to its award-winning IGLOO and successful ProASIC3 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) families starting at just US$0.99. Comparable in density to 128 macrocell complex programmable logic device (CPLD) offerings, the new 15,000-gate devices offer power consumption as low as 5 microwatts (5µW), 10 times less static power than more expensive CPLDs. The new IGLOO AGL015 and ProASIC3 A3P015 FPGAs provide a lower cost, lower power alternative to low-density FPGAs and CPLDs in consumer, medical, communications and industrial applications, such as portable media players, smart phones, memory card interfaces, system controllers, portable medical devices and wireless sensors.
