      MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Actel Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTL) today announced that embedded designers can now take advantage of a broad portfolio of Actel intellectual property (IP) cores available for SmartFusion™ intelligent mixed signal FPGAs. SmartFusion mixed signal FPGAs are the only device that combines an FPGA, ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor and programmable analog on a single chip. In addition to the multiple peripherals hard coded into the device, Actel enables full customization by offering an extensive library of soft peripherals that can be placed in the low power flash FPGA fabric.  

      Actel's IP cores enable customers to easily incorporate robust functionality, take complete advantage of the newly introduced SmartFusion devices and build a solution that meets the exact needs of their design.

      A large library of Actel IP cores are included in the Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE) IP bundle, with obfuscated-RTL version included with the FREE Libero Gold license, and RTL-source version included with the $2,500 Libero Platinum license.
