10-Gbit Test Chip—The most advanced FPGA transceiver technology showing 10-Gbit operation
- Demonstrates the robust performance margins and optimal signal integrity in Altera’s transceiver technologies
Review Conference Technical Papers Presented by Altera
Keynote Address
Tuesday, February 5
Noon- 12:30pm
Dr. Misha Burich
Senior vice president, R&D, Altera Corporation
Title: "Programmable Solutions: A Continued Evolution"
Now, more than ever before, there is a pressure in the electronics industry to shorten time-to-market, to lower development costs, and offer product variations and options. To satisfy these requirements, the semiconductor industry continues to innovate in providing programmable solutions that can be rapidly adapted and deployed by their customers to their end users.
Misha Burich, Altera’s senior vice president of research and development, will describe current and future promising technologies that satisfy these requirements, including the spectrum from fine-grained to coarse-grained multi-cores and rapidly customizable ASSP solutions.
Tech Forum
Monday, February 4
1:30pm – 4:30pm
Dr. Mike Li
Principal Architect, Altera Corporation
TF-MP3
Design and Verification for Jitter and High-Speed I/Os at Multiple Gbps
Dr. Mike Li, principal architect and distinguished engineer, Altera Corporation, will be at the TecForum to review the latest design and verification developments and technology advancements, with an emphasis on jitter and signal integrity of computer high-speed I/Os (e.g., PCI Express, Serial ATA) and network high-speed I/Os (e.g., GBE, OIF).
Business Forum Panel
Wednesday, February 6
3:45pm - 5:00pm
Laurie Hastings
Senior Manager of Training and Development, Altera Corporation
Title: "Designing a More Fulfilling Career"
Laurie Hastings, senior manager or training and development at Altera, is participating on a panel at DesignCon that will examine ways companies can and should help employees advance their professional development. The panel will be moderated by John Epperheimer, a partner at the St. Charles Consulting Group, and will also include representatives from Cadence Design Systems, LSI Logic and TSMC
