Hi all
I am evaluating the Actel ProAsic Flash-based FPGAs and am wondering if anyone has experience using them. The claim from Actel is that they have new products in 0.13u that are smaller in area than comparative Xilinx/Altera products (Spartan/Cyclone) and offer better performance. They claim this is because instead of using 6 SRAM transistors for the configuration memory, the Actel Pro-Asic 3s use 1 Flash transistor. This reduces die are for the same number of logic elements/gates and increases performance due to shorter wires in the die.
Any experiences with the Pro-Asic line ? Even better, has anyone used the new 0.13u FPGAs (engineering samples or something or maybe just using tools) ?
Thanks Sumit
