Actel’s new Fusion programmable system chip (PSC), the industrys first mixed-signal field-programmable gate array (FPGA), was named the winner in the Digital IC and Programmable Logic category at EDN’s 2005 Innovation of The Year competition.
The Fusion PSC offers the unprecedented integration of mixed-signal analog, embedded flash memory and FPGA fabric in a single chip, enabling designers to quickly move from concept to completed design and deliver feature-rich systems to market.
The awards, which honour outstanding engineering products in the electronics industry, are the result of online voting by EDN's worldwide readership.
"This prestigious award is extremely valuable to Actel because EDNs readers are our customers," said John East, president and CEO, Actel. "This clearly reflects a widespread appreciation for our commitment to deliver truly innovative products with unique features that meet the real-world requirements of our customers and ultimately, enhance end-product value."
The Fusion programmable system chip
The Actel Fusion family integrates programmable analog, up to 8 Mbits of high-performance flash memory, and up to 1,5 million system gates of in-system programmable (ISP) FPGA fabric in a monolithic PSC. Extending the core benefits of the company's single-chip flash FPGA technology (live at power-up, low power consumption, design security, practical firm-error immunity and low total system cost), the Fusion devices provide an exceptional alternative to costly and space- and time-consuming mixed-signal ASIC design.
With the integration of core analog blocks, the Actel Fusion PSCs are well suited for applications in the industrial, medical, military/aerospace, communications, consumer and automotive markets.
