In the short span of three decades, electronics have not only proliferated in our world, but have also gotten smaller and more portable. The march of Moore’s Law has brought portability to the consumer, industrial, military, medical and other markets. 

As this demand within end markets has exploded, so too has the pressure for low-power subsystems and ICs to power them. And, as the world is getting more excited about the increasing opportunity that electronics integration and mobility brings, so is the feverish demand for new products and new features to appear on store shelves “now.” This has radically altered electronics design choices and decisions upstream. Expensive ASICs or custom ICs simply do not work in markets where cost is a factor, but the ability to hit tight market windows and adapt to changing technology standards is paramount.

This paradigm shift puts the design imperative on Actel’s flash-based FPGAs, which offer both low-power capability and system-design flexibility to meet time-to-market demands and changing user requirements and standards.

Actel FPGAs offer several benefits and solutions to enable next-generation handheld portable applications that include low power, small footprint packages, design security, live at power-up operation, integration and low cost. Read the white paper to learn more.
