Web resource centre for ASIC and FPGA design engineers expanded

16 July 2003 News Residential Estate (Industry)

Actel has expanded its Actel Resource Center to include comprehensive information on power consumption, 'green' packaging and neutron-induced firm errors. The web-based resource centre provides customers, design engineers and managers with information on issues that directly affect users of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

Launched in September of last year to provide information on design security issues and increase the awareness of design theft, the website includes technology tutorials, FAQs, market overviews, application notes, white papers, extensive glossaries of industry terms, and links to other relevant articles and third-party resources. Additional topics and issues will be added as appropriate.

"With the addition of the new materials, we believe that the Actel Resource Center will serve as a comprehensive and technical one-stop site for designers who need the latest information on issues relevant to the industry," said Barry Marsh, vice president, product marketing at Actel.

Design security, power consumption issues, neutron-induced firm errors, and green packaging were selected as the four key subject areas of the site due to their increasing importance in the industry, said Actel.
