Reinventing the Business in the Age of Information
Dr. Yankin Tanurhan, Senior Director, Embedded FPGA, Actel

With the advent of system-on-a-chip (SoC) design methodologies comes a corresponding increase in the level of time and complexity required to complete ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) designs. Actel recognized this as an opportunity for signifi- cant growth and launched a major initiative with FPGA (field programmable gate array) intellectual property innovators. A framework was developed to help create design methodologies, define standards, and provide solutions for the emerging embedded FPGA market. Learn how Actel invented its new identity, from an FPGA chip vendor to an "IP Core" provider
