What is the difference between Nextreme VL and Nextreme SL?
A. Nextreme VL and Nextreme SL are identical 90nm NEW ASIC devices of the Nextreme family. The only difference is in the logic customization method. The Nextreme SL product, which uses Flash devices to load the bitsteam, is optimized for fast turnaround and flexibility allowing re-programmability of the logic cells, while Nextreme VL devices do not require any external configuration loading and therefore are instant on, eliminating inrush current and soft errors.
