Industry's Lowest Power FPGAs
Go Portable

Today's portable designers face the challenge of keeping up with standards and form-factors that continue to emerge and evolve.

Programmable logic is the obvious solution. Discover how Actel is opening the way for FPGAs in portable applications. Actel's 5 µW IGLOO™ FPGAs now offer up to a 1000 times reduction in power that is not only acceptable, but also preferable for use in portable applications. ARM processors, the industry standard for low-power portable electronics, are now optimized for FPGAs. In addition to taking power to new lows with IGLOO devices and offering the only Cortex-M1 implementation suitable for portable devices, Actel is going one step further, focusing initially on portable storage solutions.

Low-Cost System Manager

Intelligent, power-efficient system and power management implementations now start as low as $1.20. Actel's recently released reference design combines the award-winning, mixed-signal Fusion Programmable System Chip (PSC) with the optimized, configurable CoreABC microcontroller to provide a complete system management solution using a fraction of the Fusion part's logic tiles. As a result, the small and flexible, yet sophisticated, design eliminates the need for avariety of discrete components typically used in system management applications, while also offering additional chip real estate that can be custom-configured for the end application.
