Actel Announces License Agreement with Motorola for DirectCore IP and FPGAs
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 11, 2004 - Actel Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTL) today announced it has licensed its DirectCore intellectual property (IP) for use in its ProASIC Plus field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to the Motorola, Inc. Broadband Communications Sector. Actel's secure IP encryption cores, the Core3DES and CoreAES128, support the high data rates of video-on-demand (VOD) applications and help reduce design costs and speed time to market. Actel's ProASIC Plus FPGAs are single-chip, live-at-power-up solutions that deliver the high security and low power consumption needed for cable head-end equipment and other broadband applications.
Yankin Tanurhan, senior director, IP solutions and applications at Actel, said, "Especially as new content and services are finding their way into the home via existing coaxial cable, video and data security is a critical issue facing the telecommunications industry. For years, system designers have leveraged the benefits of our IP encryption cores and highly reliable, single-chip FPGAs to secure their systems from potential hackers."
Actel's Core3DES IP decrypts and re-encrypts codes under Actel's CoreAES128 IP for integration with third-party Simulcrypt digital VOD applications.
