Ah yes - I missed an extra acquisition! Microchip acquired Microsemi (who acquired Actel)!

They are gobbling up everything now. FWIW - I quite like the Actel/Microsemi/Microchip FPGAs. Their ProASICs and Igloos have been solid for me.

Microsemi is the company formerly known as Actel. Microchip is the company that makes (amongst other things) PICs and bought Atmel (AVRs etc)

edit: I see the article is the one in the wrong - it should have said Microsemi
