Altera’s 28-nm FPGAs Optimized for Broadcast Video Applications

by Jim Turley

Increasing industry demand to deliver HD video channels requires studio equipment providers to deliver integrated products that provide the required bandwidth and processing power, while minimizing cost and power. This paper describes how Altera’s 40-nm and 28-nm FPGAs are tailored to help deliver highly-integrated, HD studio equipment products. The paper provides an analysis of the performance requirements, resource utilization, and power consumption characteristics for the format conversion of multiple video channels.

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.
