“With the availability of the second-generation Cyclone family, we can reduce the amount of system components in our product by integrating multiple components into a single Cyclone II FPGA, which extends our product’s lifetime.  In addition, we use the Nios II processor along with the embedded multipliers in the Cyclone II device to provide DSP processor functionality.  Altera’s cost-effective, flexible, system-on-a-programmable chip approach enabled us to avoid the risks and high costs of developing an ASIC.”

Bruno Pfiffner
Project Leader, ASIC Design
