Solutions for Embedded and Industrial Applications

Expanding Processor Capabilities using FPGAs with High-Speed Transceivers

Processor I/O expansion is a common application for FPGAs; however, the addition of PCI Express interfaces in both FPGAs and high-end embedded processors enables an unprecedented low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance connection between the devices. In this presentation, we will introduce PCI express, it’s implementation in Altera devices, and how it has been used to interface an an Intel^® Atom^TM embedded processor to create a prototyping system targeted at the design of custom I/O hub solutions.

Developing Industrial Systems with Altera Solutions

A growing array of industrial designs that require fast time-to-market and low-cost flexible solutions now use Altera FPGAs and CPLDs. From plant-wide automation, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and I/O modules to servo drives and motion controllers, you can quickly modify products based on programmable logic devices (PLDs) to support new functionalities while maintaining platform interoperability. In this seminar, you will learn how to build typical industrial platforms with Altera industrial solutions.

Enhance Your Productivity with New Features in Quartus II v9.1 and SOPC Builder

In the 40-nm era and beyond, designers are faced with increasing design complexity challenges, which require tools with greater capabilities and flexibility. In this technical seminar, you will learn about the new Quartus II software version 9.1 feature enhancements to SOPC Builder, DSP Builder, intellectual property cores, and more that improve time-to-market and system design productivity.

Transceiver Portfolio Workshop

Transceiver Architecture Basics, Jitter, Signal Integrity and Lab

In this technical session, you will be introduced to Altera’s robust transceiver architecture, the breakdown of jitter and its impact on your system. There will also be a hands-on lab to help you understand how to use equalization transmit data over a lossy/long channel and still meet your bit error rate (BER) target.

PCI Express Solutions for FPGAs with Demonstration

PCI Express has become a ubiquitous protocol for high-speed serial designs in both chip-to-chip and backplane applications. Learn how Altera’s transceiver-based FPGAs with integrated PCI Express hard IP cores can lower your cost and design time while also reducing overall system complexity.

Early Power Estimation, Power Delivery Network (PDN) Design and Lab

Power consumption and power delivery to the FPGAs are two of the most important topics being discussed with respect to transceiver applications. Learn about Altera’s tools for estimating power consumption and the impact of power delivery networks and decoupling strategies in FPGA transceiver designs.
