Actel has announced that Magna Electronics is designing automotive vision systems using Actel’s ProASIC3 field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
The low-power, single-chip ProASIC3 FPGAs satisfy the needs of applications with extreme space constraints and limited ventilation. In addition, the highly integrated solution allows advanced driver assistance systems to be developed more cost effectively.
"As we deliver the driver assistance technologies that consumers are demanding, we need reliable components with sophisticated functionality in a very small form factor," said François Truc, vice president and general manager for Magna Electronics. "The small size and proximity of these systems also require devices with endurance and extremely low power. The ProASIC3 FPGA provides the small footprint, low power and reliability we need to create our innovative driver assistance systems."
"Space-constrained systems have thermal reliability design challenges that can be overcome by using fewer components with very low power dissipation," said Martin Mason, senior director, silicon product marketing for Actel. "Because quality and reliability are paramount, our ProASIC3 FPGAs, with their firm-error immunity, low power and small form factor, remove the barriers to FPGA adoption in safety-critical automotive applications."
ProASIC3 devices use true Flash memory for logic configuration, enabling them to provide critical firm-error immunity - a technical impossibility for SRAM-based FPGAs and hybrid Flash with SRAM-based CPLDs, according to Actel.
