I'm considering these parts for a new design, and the low static power and small footprint, instant-on features seem nice. In terms of performance or density, this app is not demanding at all, but we want more headroom than a CPLD gives.
I haven't used Actel parts or SW for over 10 years - how have design/supply/support experiences been on ProAsic3E?? How decent are the Actel tools for HDL based designs? I'm very familiar with the Xilinx IDE. I'd be in the 30K device to start with.
If you want to keep your #$%! answers more private, you can mail me directly. I can sum up for the group later.
Thanks in advance!
