Actel Corporation (nasdaq|ACTL) is a manufacturer of single-chip FPGA solutions. Actel is most well known for their anti-fuse and flash based FPGAs. It is headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in New Jersey, France, Ireland and Germany.

Technologies

Actel develops FPGAs that are used in various commercial, industrial, military and space applications. The products families are either anti-fuse (SX-A and Axcelerator families) based or flash based (Fusion and ProASIC families), making them programmable yet non-volatile.

Actel is the main supplier of FPGAs for use in military and space applications. Several Actel FPGA families are radiation hardened and support triple module redundancy (TMR) either directly in hardware or via special EDAC firmware.

A limited 1-year freeware version of their EDA software called 'Libero' is available for use with some of their non high performance chips. They are the second FPGA vendor to distribute a native Linux freeware synthesis toolchain.

Competitors

Competitors to Actel include Altera, Lattice Semiconductor, QuickLogic, and Xilinx.
