Next-generation ProASICPLUS programmer is portable
21 May 2003Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Actel is offering its portable, low-cost FlashPro Lite programmer for use with the company's flash-based ProASICPLUS family of FPGAs. Actel says the next-generation programmer has been size-optimised to create a very compact product that allows customers to program devices using a laptop computer at any location. The new FlashPro Lite enables designers to explore the in-system programmability (ISP) and FlashLock on-chip security system features of the company's reprogrammable ProASICPLUS FPGAs.
FlashPro Lite supports the Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL), making the device independent of any specific programming algorithms. The algorithm is embedded into the programming file, independent of the FlashPro software, enabling the same programming file to be used with other STAPL-compliant programmers. Also, the programmer draws power from the target board rather than an external power brick, making for a very compact and portable device.
