Varicore EPGA available through VCX tradefloor

24 October 2001 News

Actel is joining the Virtual Component Exchange (VCX). Actel will use the VCX intellectual property (IP) supply chain software solution to market its VariCore embedded programmable gate array (EPGA) star-IP cores. Actel's VariCore EPGAs will enhance VCX's component listing, which passed the 100 mark earlier this year, according to the company.

The VCX TradeFloor tools link the engineering, procurement and legal functions of buyers and sellers with a common toolset and language via the Internet. Using industry standards, alignment of data evaluation, access and contracting protocols between buyers and sellers, it is claimed to accelerate the speed of semiconductor IP (SIP) transactions, helping to deliver more products to market in less time.

VariCore EPGAs are SRAM-based IP cores used in ASIC and application specific standard product (ASSP) system-on-a-chip devices to help speed these products to market and increase the life of those products once in the market. Actels's VariCore is a complete front-to-back-end embedded 'soft hardware' reprogrammable core family.
