Lower Power and Boost System Bandwidth on 28nm FPGAs

It’s a challenging balancing act to meet growing bandwidth demands without increasing cost or power consumption. And it’s probably a challenge you know well if you’re designing high-end systems in areas such as communications, broadcast, military, and computer/storage. Achieve the right balance with Altera’s Stratix® V FPGAs, which deliver breakthrough bandwidth, reduced cost, and the lowest total power.

Watch this 40-minute webcast to get more details about innovations in Stratix V FPGAs that address bandwidth and power challenges.

You’ll learn about:

  • 28-nm process and architectural innovations that lower static power by 44 percent
  • 28-nm power-efficient transceivers that run at data rates up to 28 Gbps and deliver 50 percent lower power per channel
  • Embedded HardCopy® Blocks and various intellectual property (IP) blocks that enable higher integration for lower power and cost
  • Easier board design at lower power and lower cost
  • Software power optimization, including clock gating algorithms, for 18 percent lower dynamic power

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

GaN for Humanoid Robots
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
