"I have been designing FPGAs and ASICs since 1989, with experience using products from several programmable logic vendors. In 1999, I was tasked to move my digital signal processing intellectual properties from standard cell ASICs to FPGAs. I chose Altera as the superior solution because of their parallel processing speed capability and the ease with which I could implement mathematical algorithms such as parallel multipliers and dividers using MegaWizards within their development environment.  Based on the capabilities of Altera product families and the support I received from them, I decided to start my own company focused on providing DSP-oriented telemetry products.

I am currently using Quartus II and DSP Builder with Stratix devices to take my company to the next level of capability.  Quartus II provides even better synthesis and place-and-route capabilities than MAX+PLUS^® II, and Altera's DSP Builder is a very solid and capable tool for quickly implementing DSP functions.  Further, the SignalTap^® function in Quartus II is 'magic' for me, allowing me to do an unprecedented amount of in-circuit debugging of my circuit designs.  These design environment advances combined with the innovative DSP blocks in the Stratix family have taken Ulyssix’s designs to a much higher level than its competition, which is still using mixed analog/digital solutions.

I have now completed three different telemetry application products within 6 months using the combination of the Matlab, DSP Builder and Quartus II, all on the same PC board. The ability to reconfigure the same PC board for very different applications is enabling Ulyssix Technologies, Inc. to become a leader in PCI solutions for the telemetry marketplace."
