Actel said that its CoreMP7, soft ARM7 microprocessor core for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), has been named to EDN magazine’s Hot 100 Products of 2005 list and has been selected as 'Product of the Year' by Electronic Products magazine. Actel's Fusion Programmable System Chip (PSC), mixed-signal FPGA, was also named to the Hot 100 Products list.
Jim Harrison, digital IC editor at Electronic Products magazine, stated, "With an implementation cost as low as $2.75, Actel's CoreMP7 stood out among thousands of new products this year for its promise to bring the ARM7 technology to an even wider range of applications and volume points, including markets that could not previously afford individual access to this valuable technology."
Maury Wright, editor in chief of EDN, said, "Over the course of a year, EDN covers an incredible number of products spread across the breadth of the electronics industry. We choose the 100 we think will prove most significant and useful to the design engineer."
Dennis Kish, vice president of marketing at Actel, added, "The announcements of CoreMP7 and Fusion PSC represented significant advancements for the design industry in 2005. These new products will unleash designer creativity in unprecedented ways, and we are honored to receive this recognition from both EDN and Electronic Products magazines for our achievements."
