Actel has announced that its high-performance, nonvolatile Axcelerator family of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices has been qualified to military specifications. The Axcelerator devices are the first FPGA family, with flexible soft IP implementing 66 MHz PCI and 1 Gbps Fibre Channel designs, to meet performance specifications over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, says the company.
The single-chip AX2000, AX1000, AX500, and AX250 devices are offered in three new packaging and screening options - military-temperature plastic (MTP), military-temperature hermetic (MTH), and hermetic packaging fully screened to MIL-STD 883 class B (883B) - offering densities up to 2-million system gates and up to 288 Kbits memory.
The Axcelerator family's high performance, low-power, design security and firm-error immunity make these new devices suitable for an array of military and avionics applications requiring high bandwidth, such as radar, communications and weapons systems. The Axcelerator devices feature up to 684 I/Os and are supported by a broad portfolio of IP, including 66 MHz PCI and 1 Gbps Fibre Channel. Through internal benchmarks using these high-performance IP cores, Actel says it has verified that the Axcelerator devices can deliver the industry's highest-performance for military-grade FPGAs.
