Renesas Enters FPGA Market (at the CPLD end)

Info is sparse, but it covers what some others call CPLDs
The ForgeFPGA Family will serve applications that require less than 5,000 gates of logic, with initial device sizes of 1K and 2K Look Up Tables (LUTs).
still early release
ForgeFPGA engineering samples are available now, along with beta design software and a prototype development kit. The first ForgeFPGA device, the 1K LUT offering, is expected to be available in production quantities in Q2 2022.
No mention of supply voltages ?
This is coming from their SiLego originated division, which originally made OTP small package and low cost specific path SPLDs, with some simple analog.
A couple of their SiLego specific path SPLDs, reprogrammable versions, with wide Vcc

Mouser have those in stock in tqfn and tssop20 at ~ 50c/1k

Just take a look at topic 5 IO PINS (page 28 of 171):

I was meaning supply voltages on the new ForgeFPGA parts. Be nice if they were the same wide Vcc, but I suspect not...
Some vendors do the small FPGA/CPLD parts as single supply, usually 3v3, and some have a lower core voltage.
eg ICE40LP384-SG32 is a 1.2V core operating part, and LCMXO2-256HC-4SG32C is a 3v3 part (regulator included).
My bad... Sorry!
I got confused, moreover due the fact Dialog's "Go Configure™Software Hub" is common to all devices, either GreenPAK, or ForgeFPGA™-ones.
In the future, I'll pay more attention...
