How do the ProASIC3/E devices differ from the ProASICPLUS devices?
The Actel ProASIC3/E devices are the industry’s lowest cost FPGA solutions, and offer enhanced performance over the ProASICPLUS family. ProASIC3 is the first family of FPGAs with on-chip user nonvolatile flash memory, offers more devices and higher densities – between 30 k and 3 million system gates. The ProASIC3 is based on an advanced 130 nm, 7-layer metal, flash-based LVCMOS process. ProASIC3/E devices also feature technology leading integrated secure ISP functionality (using AES decryption). The single-chip, live at power-up flash architecture also enables Actel to deliver the industry’s lowest total system costs.
