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. Microelectronics designed for environments with high levels of ionizing radiation have special design challenges. ... In computing, triple modular redundancy (TMR) is a fault tolerant form of N-modular redundancy, in which three systems perform a process and that result is processed by a voting system to produce a single output. ... It has been suggested that Error-correcting code be merged into this article or section. ...
