Actel Slashes Prices for Flash FPGAs in Military Temperature Plastic Packages

Targeting Avionics Applications, Actel Lowers Prices By As Much as 50 Percent for ProASICPLUS Devices.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 02, 2005 — Actel Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTL) today announced it has dramatically reduced prices by up to 50 percent for its ProASICPLUS field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in military-temperature plastic (MTP) packages. Made possible by refining Actel's manufacturing process, the new lower cost pricing structure especially benefits designers of avionics applications, who require extreme temperature-grade FPGAs but do not need the more expensive hermetic or 883B-flow military-grade packages to meet design requirements.
