Gleichmann Research Announces 2-FPGA-Board with Partitioning Software
Gleichmann Research offers a complete concerted development platform with innovative high quality FPGA development boards and a set of software tools to developers. The times are gone where the developer has to evaluate a different set of tools for each FPGA family, which costs time and money and still these are not perfect. Based on the ALTERA® EP2S180 in a 1508 pin package, Gleichmann Research offers a 2-FPGA-module for the Hpe®_midi systems.
Lattice Semiconductor Unveils 3 Wireless IP Cores, Reference Designs
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) announced the availability of three new Intellectual Property (IP) core and reference design products targeting the wireless communications market. The products include RF/IF processing functionality, as well as upgraded support for industry-standard base station connectivity protocols. The designs are optimized to run on the LatticeECP2M[tm] FPGA family in order to provide complete, low cost wireless base station solutions.
Aldec ALINT 2008.06 Features Clock Domain Crossing Rule Sets
Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-language simulation and verification for ASIC and FPGA devices, announced ALINT 2008.06. The software compares Verilog source code against 195 design rules based on STARC® 2006. ALINT gives engineers instant feedback on structural, coding and consistency problems early in the design verification cycle. New enhancements to ALINT 2008.06 include the addition of 15 new STARC rules, a new GUI including an advanced violation viewer, configuration manager and dedicated Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) rule-sets.
Mistral Announces Curtiss Wright Products for Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs
Mistral Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a leading provider of complete technology solutions and professional services in the embedded space has made available new rugged board level products supporting the new Xilinx Virtex®-5 FXT FPGA from Curtiss Wright. The Xilinx Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs enable the integration of high-performance GTX serial transceivers and features large numbers of DSP48E slices, and embedded PowerPC® 440 processor on a single FPGA, ideal for the high performance and low-power requirements of rugged defense and aerospace multi-computing applications.
Thales Selects RF Engines for FFT Design on Altera Cyclone II FPGA
RF Engines (RFEL), the specialists in digital signal processing for FPGA, have been awarded a further contract by Thales' Land & Joint Systems Division for the rapid supply of a complex FFT-based design on a single Altera Cyclone II FPGA. The design is a key requirement for a new digital receiver design. The contract is for a complete chip design comprising a bespoke 32,768-point FFT and associated functions and controls, including implementation of specialist algorithms, some proprietary Altera IP, conversion to floating-point magnitude format, and the serialisation of the buffered output data.
Small Form Factor SIG Gains Advanced Knowledge Associates
Advanced Knowledge Associates (AKA), the leader in miniaturized, reconfigurable, and highly integrated system-on-module solutions, has joined the Small Form Factor Special Interest Group (SFF-SIG), a new, non-profit industry group that develops, promotes, and supports small form factor circuit board specifications and related technologies. AKA's PRISMs (Prepackaged Reconfigurable Integrated System-on-Modules) are increasingly being used by developers who want a small, rugged, flexible and high-performance platform for their latest systems designs. PRISMs also simplify the design process and enable designers to make full benefit of high-performance FPGA and processor platforms.
