How does ProASICPLUS fit into the Actel product offering?
Actel offers products in two non-volatile technologies, antifuse and flash. ProASICPLUS standard FPGAs are based upon Actel’s flash technology. ProASICPLUS is single chip, nonvolatile, live at power-up and supports high design security similar to antifuse but is also reprogrammable. ProASICPLUS is an enhanced performance family that also extends the density range of the existing ProASIC flash product offering. It offers a fine-grained architecture that is ASIC-like in design methodology and allows you to use your existing ASIC design tools and flow to quickly get your design into production. During development the reprogrammable feature reduces the costs of time and materials in a redesign. With a 1 million system gates it is Actel’s largest FPGA and the world’s largest flash FPGA that is targeted at the ASIC replacement market.
