What do the ProASIC3/E devices bring to the industry?
ProASIC3/E devices are the world’s lowest cost FPGA solutions, offering seven devices for under $10. The devices, which meet the 64-bit 66 MHz PCI benchmark, offer equal or better performance than competitive mainstream SRAM-based FPGAs. With its low price, large number of system gates, high performance and ASIC-like design flow and methodology, the Actel ProASIC3/E devices offer solutions for a broad range of applications including those traditionally served by ASICs. In fact, for the first time, designers have a reprogrammable solution that combines the low-cost, single-chip, nonvolatile and power-friendly features of an ASIC with the fast time-to-market and lack of NREs typically associated with FPGAs.
