Programmable Logic


New version of Libero IDE

15 October 2008 Programmable Logic

Actel has announced new power reduction and design creation enhancements to its Libero Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Giving designers additional power supply options and enabling even lower power consumption, the new Libero IDE 8.4 offers an FPGA core operating voltage range from 1,14 to 1,575 volts for its Flash-based Igloo, Igloo Plus and ProASIC3L field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Enhancements to the SmartPower analysis tools within Libero allow easy comparisons of multiple design scenarios and their resulting power consumption and battery life implications. For rapid and efficient design creation, version 8.4 also allows Actel-created or third-party intellectual property (IP) blocks, user-developed HDL modules, and glue logic functions to be easily combined in an accessible project area.
