LEO/MEO satellites have simplified worldwide internet access and enabled real-time Earth observation, but power management is a huge obstacle.
Altera’s Enpirion EN6362QI power system on a chip (PowerSoC) DC-DC step-down converter.
Doubling the life of NAND flash, Altera has developed a storage reference design, based on its Arria 10 SoCs, that can also increase the number of program-erase cycles by up to 7x compared to current NAND flash implementations.
Altera has announced that its Arria 10 FPGAs have been chosen by Silkan, a provider of real-time data transmission, for its new deterministic real-time high-speed Ethernet interconnection technology. The Silkan CETRAC switch is a plug-and-play solution, using an Ethernet cable to connect critical systems in aerospace and defense (A&D) and instrumentations and controls (I&C) markets.
Altera has announced that Mitsubishi Electric selected its Cyclone V SoCs to power its next-generation of C controller for use in smart factory automation equipment. Cyclone V SoCs provide the C controller greater flexibility while delivering higher performance, increased functionality and enhanced network connectivity when compared to the previous generation’s microcontroller-based systems.
Altera has announced the availability of the latest version of its Industrial Functional Safety Data Package (Ver. 3) for systems designers using Altera field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The safety pack provides TÜV Rheinland-certified toolflows, IP and devices including Cyclone V FPGAs, enabling faster time for market for industrial safety solutions to IEC 61508 up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3).
Altera has unveiled its Spectra-Q engine, a new technology at the heart of the company’s proven Quartus II software, to accelerate design productivity and time-to-market for next-generation programmable devices.
