Low-power, Low-Cost ForgeFPGA
The ForgeFPGA™ family fulfills the design need for relatively small amounts of programmable logic that can be quickly and efficiently designed into cost-sensitive applications. ForgeFPGA devices provide dramatic cost savings versus other alternatives, including non-FPGA designs.
The new FPGAs use the same business model and infrastructure as the popular GreenPAK line: free, easy-to-use software with no license fees, and available worldwide applications support.
Lowest power consumption
- Half the power of FPGAs on the market
- Target standby current of <20uA, the lowest on the market
- Low power allows for use in wide range of applications previously closed to FPGAs
Easy, free software
- License-free software
- Software is free to download
- Software is easy to use
- Two development modes
- “HDL Mode” for experienced FPGA
- “Macro-cell Mode” uses schematic-capture-based development flow
- Users can freely switch modes on-the-fly
- Fast and easy sample ordering
Competitive price point
- Lower device cost than competition
- High level of integration lowers overall system price
- Allows for use of an FPGA in more targeted applications previously gated by cost
- Allows for using FPGAs in high-volume consumer applications previously inaccessible to FPGAs due to cost
