"Military-Temperature Plastic FPGAs Provide Same Security, Performance and Reliability as Ceramic FPGAs at Half the Cost"

As reduced military budgets drive the trend towards COT, designs that could previously only be addressed with higher-cost, ceramic-packaged FPGAs can
now be implemented with lower-cost, plastic-packaged parts. Members of QuickLogic's pASIC 1 and pASIC 3 families of plastic-packaged 5.0 or 3.3 volt devices, have been qualified and tested to operate over the industry standard military temperature range of -55° C to +125° C and offer users the same performance, security and reliability as ceramic-packaged military components. Featuring standby current consumption as low as 500uA resulting in standby power consumption of just 1.65mW, the plastic-packaged devices operate reliably at the extreme 125° C hot temperature specified for the industry-standard military-temperature range.
