Extending its portfolio of low-power programmable solutions, Actel has introduced the ProASIC3L family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for designers of high-performance, power-conscious systems. Featuring 40% lower dynamic power and 90% lower static power than its previous-generation ProASIC3 FPGAs, the new Flash-based family combines dramatically reduced power consumption with up to 350 MHz operation.
As a result, designers in high-performance market segments, such as industrial, medical and scientific, now have access to flexible, feature-rich solutions that offer speed, low power and low cost. The ProASIC3L family also supports the free implementation of an FPGA-optimised 32-bit ARM Cortex-M1 processor.
Dynamic power is critical in applications where clocks are constantly switching and providing input to an FPGA, such as high-speed data pipelines for portable video and medical appliances. The ProASIC3L devices support a 1,2 V core voltage and Actel's innovative Flash*Freeze technology. Flash*Freeze enables designers to quickly switch the device from dynamic operation to static without switching off clocks or power supplies.
The ProASIC3L family is comprised of four family members ranging from 250 000 to 3 000 000 gates: the A3P250L, A3P600L, A3P1000L and A3PE3000L. Offered in both commercial and industrial temperature grades, the devices feature embedded SRAM memory, high I/O counts, phase-locked loops (PLLs) and non-volatile memory.
