Automotive Top Ten – Ten Points to Consider When Using Logic in Your Next Automotive Design

Automotive electronics designers have been turning more frequently to programmable logic solutions to meet the needs of their next generation designs. FPGAs offer time-to-market benefits along with simplified qualification and greater flexibility in comparison to historic ASIC-based solutions.

Actel is a leading supplier of FPGAs to the automotive industry. Actel parts are being used in the most demanding mission-critical systems, such as powertrain and safety subsystems, in addition to infotainment and body electronics designs.

Actel FPGAs are found in automotive applications as diverse as engine control modules (ECM), blind spot vehicle detection, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control (ACC), rearview back-up assistance vision systems, power steering control, personnel occupancy detection systems (PODS), and video and on-screen text display multiplexing. A combination of firm-error immunity, ultra-low power, extended temperature range, single-chip, and live-at-power-up operation all make Actel the high-reliability choice for under-the-hood, safety, and telematics applications.

Offering a broad range of products with junction temperatures up to 135ºC (AEC-Q100 grade 1), densities up to 1 M system gates, and low-cost, single-chip, flash-based technology, Actel has the programmable logic solution for your next design. With Actel, you work with a partner, not a supplier. Actel is committed to supporting your most demanding designs, providing Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, and access to a dedicated team of support engineers.
