Actel

Now, More than Ever, Power Matters.

Actel's low power FPGAs are optimized for logic, I/O count, and performance. Actel's low power FPGAs are secure, firm-error immune, live-at-power-up, reprogrammable devices, ideal for low power and low cost applications.

Actel - The leaders in Low Power FPGAs

Some of the key benefits of Actel's low power FPGAs include:

  • Optimized for low power operation across a range of temperatures and a variety of power modes
  • Ultra low power Flash*Freeze mode provides maximum system power savings instantly
  • Industry leading power consumption as low as 2 µW in sleep mode
  • Nonvolatile logic cell requires no bitstream loading
  • Power-optimizing design tools reduce dynamic power by as much as 30%
  • Wide voltage operating range and PLL enable dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
  • Flash logic cell leakage current much lower than conventional SRAM cell
  • No inrush or configuration current—no external configuration device required

Actel's low power FPGAs offer virtually unbreakable design security to meet your most demanding design requirements.

  • Protection Against
    • IP theft
    • Reverse engineering
    • Tampering
    • Cloning
    • Overbuilding
  • Secured Intellectual Property
    • FlashLock® disables reading of configuration
    • No bitstream communicated from external configuration device
    • Flash cell cannot be micro-probed (loses its charge)
  • Secured Manufacturing Flow
    • AES encryption of programming data (manufacturing contractor needs matching device for encrypted programming file)

Actel's low power FPGAs can help you design products for the consumer, industrial, medical, automotive or communications market. Which low power FPGA is right for you?
