Actel nonvolatile FPGA solutions, based on flash or antifuse technologies, offer cost savings by eliminating support devices required by volatile SRAM-based FPGAs. The extra parts required by an SRAM FPGA can increase the bill-of-materials (BOM) cost of an SRAM FPGA by over 70%.
Starting at $0.99 Actel low-power FPGAs provide exceptional features and capabilities in unrivaled cost.
By eliminating unnecessary parts from the BOM, Actel nonvolatile FPGAs
save more than just cost. Fewer parts means increased reliability, lower
total system power consumption, reduced cooling requirements, reduced board
space requirements, and fewer electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues. Reduced design
time and simplified material management combined with the benefits of nonvolatile
FPGAs add up to big savings on your next design.
Advantages to the designer extend beyond low-unit cost, performance, and
ease of use. Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs, Actel's nonvolatile devices allow
for all functionality to be live at power-up and no external boot PROM
is required.
