Toshiba Corporation selected the RoHS-compliant version of Altera's MAX II CPLD family for their newest line of gigabeat portable media players. Altera® MAX II devices enabled Toshiba designers to reduce development time by several months and introduce the gigabeat V30T in time to be the first portable digital audio/video player supporting Japan’s one-segment TV and radio broadcasting services.
Toshiba is using MAX II CPLDs to perform critical broadcast receiver processing, including filtering the one-segment broadcast tuner output and recovering the system time clock.
“The design flexibility provided by MAX II devices enabled us to meet a very rigid development schedule. Additionally, after evaluating several CPLDs and FPGAs, we determined that the low power consumption and low cost of the MAX II devices made them the best choice for our gigabeat V30T portable digital audio player.”
