The Actel IGLOO family of reprogrammable, full-featured flash FPGAs is designed to meet the demanding power, area, and cost requirements of today’s portable electronics. Based on Actel’s nonvolatile flash technology, the 1.2 V to 1.5 V operating voltage family offers the industry’s lowest power consumption – as low as 5 μW. The IGLOO family supports up to 3,000,000 system gates with up to 504 kbits of true dual-port SRAM, up to 6 embedded PLLs, and up to 620 user I/Os. Low-power applications that require 32-bit processing can use the ARM® Cortex-M1 processor without license fee or royalties in M1 IGLOO devices. Developed specifically for implementation in FPGAs, Cortex-M1 offers an optimal balance between performance and size to minimize power consumption.

Actel’s IGLOO nano products offer groundbreaking possibilities in power, size, leadtimes, operating temperature, and cost. Available in logic densities from 10,000 to 250,000 gates, the 1.2 V to 1.5 V IGLOO nano devices have been designed for high-volume applications where power and size are key decision criteria. IGLOO nano devices are perfect ASIC or ASSP replacements, yet retain the historical FPGA advantages of flexibility and quick time-to-market in low-power and small footprint profiles.
