What Are Customers Saying About Cyclone II FPGAs
AMX Corporation
"Cyclone™ FPGAs deliver low-cost video processing and graphics generation in our Modero Viewpoint Touch Panels, helping to keep our costs to a minimum. With Cyclone II FPGAs, we can further reduce our costs and increase functionality at the same time."

Vice President of Engineering
Huge Systems, a Ciprico Company
“Altera’s Cylone II FPGA was the key enabling tool that allowed us to develop our latest SATA-based RAID 6 storage array, the MediaVault 4212. The high density and high speed attributes of Cyclone II FPGAs allowed us to design a single chip RAID 6 controller that doubled the performance and reliability of the MediaVault 4212, affording up to two disk failures with full data recovery. This critical requirement is an absolute must-have in high-availability applications, making the MediaVault 4212 the new benchmark in high-performance, high-availability storage.”

“Altera has an impressive record of delivering its Cyclone devices on time and in production quantities, which we have taken advantage of in the manufacture of our plasma display panel products. We fully expect Altera's Cyclone II FPGA family to continue this record of excellence."

"When we were designing our ProTools HD product, we evaluated several hardware implementation options including custom ASICs, standard cells devices, and low-cost FPGAs. With zero non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs, minimal risk, fastest time-to-market, and piece-pricing the ASIC guys can’t touch in our volumes, Altera's Cyclone family of ultra low-cost FPGAs made our decision a no-brainer. No other low-cost FPGA comes close to offering the feature/cost advantages of the Cyclone family, and with the Cyclone II family, Altera will be extending their low-cost leadership even further."

"Cyclone FPGAs and the Nios® processor play a crucial role in our Hybrid Car-TV receiver that combines analog and digital video broadcast reception capability. Cyclone FPGAs provide us with an affordable solution for implementing the digital signal processing (DSP) functions required for TV reception, and the availability of multipliers in Cyclone II makes Altera's low-cost FPGAs even more attractive for signal processing applications. The Nios processor enabled us to avoid using an off-the-shelf processor, which saves us development cost, board space, and engineering time. Furthermore, Altera's SOPC Builder enabled us to easily construct the exact Nios processor we needed to perform antenna control functions, and with the Nios II processor, we look forward to achieving even greater performance and improved resource efficiency."

KoolSpan, Inc.
"Our SecurEdge products require a high degree of performance to transparently deliver 256-bit AES security and authentication for our customers' Wi-Fi networks. After evaluating several hardware options, including off-the-shelf processors and ASSPs, we determined that an Altera Cyclone FPGA hosting a Nios processor was the best fit for our needs. The high performance of Cyclone FPGAs allows us to use the slowest speed grade device to meet our current product needs. For future products, we have several options to upgrade our performance, including higher speed grade Cyclone devices, and the Nios II processor. Also, we look forward to the Cyclone II family, which will enable us to implement greater functionality with unparalleled product programmability while still meeting our aggressive cost goals."

Lumagen
"We chose the Cyclone family of FPGAs because they provided the performance and value we needed for our line of video processors. As a bonus, we found Altera's tools easier to use and more robust than competitive products. The Cyclone family delivered as promised, and we are even more excited about the Cyclone II family. The increased gate counts, hardwired multipliers, and reduced cost-per-gate extend Altera's low-cost FPGA leadership. The Cyclone II family is sure to play a central role in our future designs."
Jim Peterson
President
Pleora Technologies
“Cyclone II FPGAs deliver the capacity Pleora needs to meet growing demand for advanced features in high-performance Gigabit Ethernet connectivity products. The lower cost per logic element (LE) will help us expand our market footprint in Gigabit Ethernet cameras by continuing to deliver new functionality cost-effectively.”
Alain Rivard
Vice President, Engineering
Toolrama
"The combination of Cyclone devices and the Nios processor has been a great fit for our automotive diagnostic products. In our Predator product, the industry-leading low cost and flexibility of the Altera solution enabled us to replace an off-the-shelf processor, add features, and increase performance. Based on our successful experience with Cyclone devices, we will be adopting the Cyclone II family for all of our new product development, which will enable us to deliver even greater functionality at lower cost."
