Altera® Featured Technology: Low-Cost Cyclone® III FPGAs

|
Overview
Today's display technology has found a great application with high-definition television (HDTV), but the challenge has been to achieve high resolution, which requires faster data rates. Accelerating data rates require special image processing algorithms to support faster moving video. The industry is confronted with a major problem: how do you implement these algorithms and get a product out to market first, and do it within a known power budget?
At the QuickCast, you’ll learn how low-cost Cyclone III FPGAs:
- Offer an unprecedented combination of power, functionality, and cost to enable you to design for new display applications such as
- SD to HD conversion
- Image enhancement
- Timing control
- Provide application-optimized features to lower your system and development costs including
- Up to 4 Mbit of embedded memory
- Up to 288 embedded 18 x 18 multipliers
- Dynamically reconfigurable phase-locked loops (PLLs) for changing refresh rates
- Dedicated external memory interfaces for DDR, DDR2 and QDRII at up to 400 Mbps
- Are supported by a complete design environment including
- Video and image processing intellectual property (IP) suite with nine common functions
- Low-cost development kits
- Free Quartus® II Web Edition design software
