FPGAs Break Size And Power Barriers

Groomed for virtually all manner of portables, nano versions of the company’s IGLOO FPGAs take power consumption down to 2 ?W and package sizes to as small as 3 mm x 3 mm. With power consumption as low 2 ?W, the IGLOO nano FPGAs range in densities from 10k to 250k system gates. They support 1.2V to 1.5V core and I/O operation, ultra-low-power Flash Freeze mode with bus hold capability, and offer advanced I/O features such as hot swapping and Schmitt trigger inputs. IGLOO nano FPGAs come in a 3 mm x 3 mm package, reportedly the smallest package for any programmable logic device on the market. In high volume, pricing for the 10k-gate A3PN010 starts at $0.69 each in a QNG48 package and $0.49 each in known good die. ACTEL CORP., Mountain View, CA. (888) 992-2835.
