Because power matters, Actel Corporation is attacking power consumption at both the chip and the system levels with its innovative low-power and mixed-signal FPGA solutions. As the leading nonvolatile FPGA supplier, Actel leverages its silicon, tools, power-smart IP, and packaging technologies to offer comprehensive differentiated solutions that consistently provide designers with the lowest power, smallest footprint, maximum security, and reliability. From portable and automotive systems to medical instrumentation, satellite orbit control, networking line cards, and telecom switches and routers, Actel broadly impacts global electronics with its innovative ultra-low power programmable solutions.
"The company has cleverly kept their messaging centered on the most significant of those differentiators, putting all their energy into energy. Very low static power is a compelling advantage for many applications, particularly those where you're running on batteries. While focusing so much marketing effort in reminding us that "Power Matters" (probably something we already knew), Actel is really pointing out that their flash-based devices maintain a significant margin of victory on the coulomb-counting front. If Actel's efforts were nothing more than marketing, we wouldn't be all that interested. However, they continue to attack low-power programmability on the engineering front, and that's something we should talk about." …"
