This paper will enumerate the benefits of a platform-based system design approach. The original electronic design process built by linking tools together has remained largely unchanged for decades. Companies doing electronics design continue to design products by cobbling together a collection of tools to create what is commonly referred to as the “tool-chain”. Many of these tools … Read More → "Next Generation System Design – Platforms versus Tool-Chains"
To support the accelerating image format conversion to FPGAs, Altera has developed a 1080p video design framework, described in this white paper, that makes it easy for system designers to develop a custom image format conversion signal chain. The image format conversion reference design discussed can be used as a starting point and modified to develop custom video processing applications. … Read More → "Enabling Improved Image Format Conversion with FPGAs"
Designing video equipment for streaming multiple uncompressed video signals is a new challenge, especially with the demand for high-definition video streams. This white paper examines how a multichannel streaming PCIe … Read More → "Streaming Multichannel Uncompressed Video in the Broadcast Environment"
Traditionally, portable system designers have used ASICs and ASSPs to implement memory interfaces, I/O expansion, power-on sequencing, discrete logic functions, display, and other functions. Cost limitations, power and cooling restrictions, and board space requirements often limit the use of PLDs in these applications. Today, however, innovations in CPLDs in power reduction, cost optimization, and small form-factor packaging allow PLDs … Read More → "Reduce Total System Cost in Portable Applications Using MAX II CPLDs"
