Joining the Programmable Logic Pioneers Intel and AMD are a number of companies that are also no longer in the this market space. This is either because they were successful and acquired by a larger company, or they were not able to profitably make a business for this technology. The FPGA market has had its share of new entrants and exits. Below are just a few worth noting. Silicon. Blue Technologies This company developed an extremely low power SRAM based FPGAs with optional integrated nonvolatile configuration memory. A few years after starting, they were acquired by Lattice in 2. Million in cash. Vantis A spin out of the AMD product division, this was another early entrant into the market. In April, 1. 99. 9 Lattice acquired Vantis from parent company AMD for 5. Million. Actel Long a dominant supplier to the military, defense and aerospace industry, Actel was recently acquired by Micro. Semi in October,  2. Million. QP Semiconductor They provided components for the military, aerospace and high reliability industries.
