TI has integrated Altera devices, including HardCopy structured ASICs, Cyclone FPGAs, and Stratix FPGAs, into its 720p and 1080p Digital Light Processing (DLP) TV chipsets. TI provides its DLP components to television manufacturers, enabling them to bring the highest quality visual experience to consumers.

TI initially chose Cyclone devices for their 720p DLP product. Cyclone devices met TI’s performance goals with the lowest speed grade device, resulting in the maximum cost/performance benefit. Cyclone devices were also readily available in high-volume quantities, a critical requirement for the consumer markets in which DLP technology is being enthusiastically received. Following the success of their 720p DLP product, TI adopted Stratix devices and HardCopy structured ASICs for their 1080p DLP product. The high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities of Altera’s devices bolster the advanced video processing required to deliver the finest full HDTV picture quality at 1920 x 1080 pixel resolutions.

“Altera solutions provide us with the flexibility to respond rapidly to changing market demands while maintaining the cost-effectiveness to address customer needs. By enabling TI to quickly deliver leading-edge display features, Altera’s FPGAs and HardCopy structured ASICs provide us with a critical time-to-market advantage, allowing our customers to offer the latest advances in television technology.”
