Introduction
IGLOO nano Starter Kit Description
Board Description
The IGLOO
nano family and prototype your design. The kit allows you to develop simple designs using switches and
LEDs; or by removing the jumpers to the switches and LEDs you can then use the board to integrate the
nano device into a full system, with all user I/Os available. In both modes you can then measure power to
the device and to each I/O bank to evaluate the power consumption of your design. When using the
board in conjunction with Actel’s Libero
will have a clear picture of application power consumption at each stage in your design. In addition, the
tool suite now includes power-driven layout (PDL), which can reduce the power consumption of designs
up to 30 percent. Since IGLOO nano devices are footprint-compatible with ProASIC
kit can also be used to prototype designs for ProASIC3 nano FPGAs.

conjunction with Actel’s power analysis tools, you will have a clear picture of application power
consumption at each stage in your design.
