FPGAs cut both static and dynamic power
Flash-based FPGA family combines dramatically reduced power consumption with up to 350MHz operation.
The ProASIC3L family of FPGAs from Actel Corporation is aimed at designers of high-performance power-conscious systems Featuring 40% lower dynamic power and 90% lower static power than its previous-generation ProASIC3 FPGAs, the new Flash-based family combines dramatically reduced power consumption with up to 350MHz operation

First flash-based industrial-grade FPGAs
Actel is shipping the industry's first flash-based "live-at-power-up" FPGA devices qualified to industrial specifications.
Largest-yet claim for flash-based FPGAs
Actel is sampling the A500K180 and A500K270 flash-based ProASIC 500K gate FPGAs with 369,000 and 473,000 system gates, respectively.
As a result, designers in high-performance market segments, such as industrial, medical and scientific, now have access to flexible, feature-rich solutions that offer speed, low power and low cost.
The ProASIC3L family also supports the free implementation of an FPGA-optimised 32bit ARM Cortex-M1 processor, allowing system designers to select the Actel Flash-based FPGA solution that best meets their speed and power design requirements regardless of application or volume.
