"Last but certainly not least, there are some truly unique offerings out there, such as the GreenPAK family of one-time programmable micro-FPGAs from SILEGO Technology (www.silego.com). These are truly incredible little devices — only 2 x 2 mm in size with 8 pins (power, ground, and six general-purpose pins that can be configured as inputs or outputs). Boasting very low power consumption and costing only a few cents each when purchased in quantity, a GreenPAK chip can be used to replace up to 30+ standard “Jelly-Bean” logic and analog devices. This can have a major impact on the cost, size, and power consumption of the final product. Using an associated graphical user interface and low-cost development kit, designers can configure, program, and test a new device in just a few minutes. Once a design has been tested and approved, the design files can be e-mailed to SILEGO, who can move into mass production within a few hours."
