Proprietary design leverages performance and design security benefits of nonvolatile flash FPGAs

22 May 2002 Programmable Logic

Silicon Recognition, a supplier of ultra-fast devices for pattern recognition, has chosen to implement a version of its zero instruction set computing (ZISC) solution within Actel's A500K050 and A500K130 flash-based FPGA devices. Silicon Recognition's ZISC solution, a proprietary ASIC, is designed to provide the ultra-fast pattern recognition, information classification and matching performance required for next-generation, realtime smart devices, such as security cameras and health-monitoring equipment.

"The performance and security features of Actel's ProASIC FPGAs enable us to safely and easily embed our intellectual property into their A500K050 and A500K130 solutions. This benefit translates well to our customers, who are developing smart and efficient systems for image, sound or signal processing on the smallest form factor possible," said Guy Paillet, chairman and founder at Silicon Recognition.
