Actel has announced that MARGI Systems has selected Actel's A54SX08A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device for the new Springboard module, the hardware module in its new 'Presenter-to-Go' product. MARGI Systems is a leading provider of multimedia products for mobile computing. The Presenter-to-Go product that enables business professionals to make PowerPoint presentations from a Handspring Visor without the use of a personal computer.
"We needed a logic integration device that offered hot-swap capabilities and low power consumption, and we needed it to be in a very small form-factor in order to meet the Springboard module design specifications," said Greg Springer, COO, MARGI Systems. "Actel's A54SX08A met these needs perfectly and provided a tremendous technology advantage for our design."
"Increasingly, e-Appliances are leveraging the benefits of FPGAs due to the tremendous gain in performance and reduction in cost over the past several years," said Ken O'Neill, Director of Product Marketing at Actel. "Actel's SX-A family of devices is ideal for many e-Appliance and portable applications, such as MARGI System's Presenter-to-Go, due to the hot-swap compliant I/Os and the low-power features of the architecture."
Hot-swapping is a capability important to many portable, consumer and networking applications that allows system boards to be exchanged while systems are running.
