Altera Company and PLDASAS claim to continue expanding cooperation, offers the flexible solution for market of specialized audio frequency / video broadcasting. This cooperation has put out the new intellectual property right (IP) at first Kernel series, and the audio frequency samples the converter (SRC) ,And offer cost-free IP to the authentication customers of AlteraStratix and CycloneFPGA product series to permit.
It is said that the roof beam of director of Altera market is optimistic: "In order to serve the market of audio frequency / video broadcasting better, we have chosen to cooperate with PLDA, because they have offered the high-quality solution for market for over ten years. The high-quality IP supplier with PLDA cooperates closely, we can offer the overall solution to customer, including FPGA, developing the kit, key task IP kernel and some design services. "
PLDA business development executive vice president CallanCarpenter says: "The programmable logic solution of Altera is very successful in broadcasting the market, and lie in offering IP kernel of high quality ' a whole set of products ' for the fact that FPGA designs the field in the famous of PLDA. The integrated SRC function has avoided adopting a plurality of ASSP, has reduced the system cost, has saved the area of the circuit board in FPGA. "
SRC kernel
SRC kernel has very strong disposition ability, can deal with 8 pairs of stereoscopic acoustic signals, change and synchronous the majority between 32kHz and 96kHz and make the sampling rate up. The import and export that edition can support 192kHz sampling rate after upgrading is sampled, plans to put out in October of 2007. Users can also choose between AES-EBU and I2S interface. SRC has specialized characteristics, in the whole operating range, THD +N greater than 120dB.
About StratixFPGA
The AlteraStratixFPGA series device leaves lower risk and more high efficiency on the designer to offer the newest high-performance products for market rapidly. Series StratixFPGA have combined high performance and high density, and have abundant characteristics, support the integration of multifunction, have further improved system performance. This line of includes 5 high-performance device types - -65 - nmStratixIII, 90 - nmStratixII, StratixIIGX, 130 - nmStratix and StratixGXFPGA. Altera offers strong support for series StratixFPGA as the reliable high-quality supplier, his various tools help the customer to design with confidence.
About CycloneFPGA
As to the responsive application in enormous quantities of the price, Altera offers series CycloneFPGA - -Industry only FPGA that designed to the low cost fundamentally. Every type is optimized to the cost separately, the solution in enormous quantities can compete with ASIC and ASSP. This series FPGA include 65 - nmCycloneIII, 90 - nmCycloneII and 130 - nmCyclone, the customer customizes characteristic and the lowest power consumption with first-class function, industry.
