Companies join in rad-hard FPGA project
Officials from Actel Corp. and Synplicity, both of Sunnyvale, Calif., together are developing a logic synthesis methodology in Synplify 3.0c that will enable field programmable gate array (FPGA) designers to meet the tight single-event upset requirements of new military, deep-space, planetary, and communications spacecraft. Actel makes rad-hard FPGAs, and Synplicity makes logic synthesis tools. The new version of Synplify is designed to work with Actel`s RH1280 RadHard device, RP1280A and RP131
