Low-Power Flash Device Handbooks Introduction
Low-Power Flash Device Handbooks Introduction
Device Handbooks contain all the information available to help designers understand and use
Actel's devices. Handbook chapters are grouped into sections on the website to simplify
navigation. Each chapter of the handbook can be viewed as an individual PDF file.
At the top of the handbook web page, you will see a zip file for each product family. This file
contains the complete device handbook. Please register for product updates to be notified when a
section of the handbook changes.
Versions
Device handbook chapters may have different version numbers. Actel’s goal is to provide customers
with the latest information in a timely matter. As a result, the handbook chapters will be updated
independently of the handbook.
Categories
In order to provide the latest information to designers, some datasheets are published before data
has been fully characterized. Datasheets are designated as “Product Brief,” “Advanced,” and
“Production”. The definition of these categories are as follows:
Product Brief
The product brief is a summarized version of a datasheet (advanced or production) and contains
general product information. This document gives an overview of specific device and family
information.
Advanced
This version contains initial estimated information based on simulation, other products, devices, or
speed grades. This information can be used as estimates, but not for production. This label only
applies to the DC and Switching Characteristics chapter of the datasheet and will only be used
when the data has not been fully characterized.
Unmarked (production)
This version contains information that is considered to be final.
Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
The products described in this document are subject to the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR). They could require an approved export license prior to export from the United States. An
export includes release of product or disclosure of technology to a foreign national inside or
outside the United States.
