Five Ways to Build Flexibility into Industrial Applications with FPGAs

by Bryon Moyer

November 17, 2009

As industrial system complexity increases, FPGAs offer the ability to integrate an entire system on a chip (SoC), at a lower cost compared to discrete MCU, DSP, ASSP, or ASIC solutions. This document describes using an Altera industrial-grade FPGA as a coprocessor or SoC to bring flexibility to industrial applications. Providing a single, highly integrated platform for multiple industrial products, Altera FPGAs can substantially reduce development time and risk.

The Power Management IC for the Intel® Atom^TM Processor E6xx Series and Intel® Platform Controller Hub EG20T

by Amelia Dalton

November 17, 2009

Time to market, cost, board size constraints, reliability and design capabilities are among the motivating factors in choosing Power Management IC versus a discrete solution. However, a discrete solution allows design optimization, offers higher power efficiency, flexibility and is easy to debug. Often, it is not possible to determine which choice will be better without understanding the details of design requirement.

This paper aims to discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of using Power … Read More → "The Power Management IC for the Intel® Atom^TM Processor E6xx Series and Intel® Platform Controller Hub EG20T"

Hardware Accelerated H.264 Video Encoding using VAAPI on the Intel® Atom™ Processor E6xx Series

by Amelia Dalton

November 17, 2009

The Intel® Atom™ Processor E6xx Series for the embedded devices market includes the POWERVR* VXE core that provides video encoding capabilities, allowing to encode high definition video streams in the highly compressed H.264 format with a very low main CPU utilization, releasing the general purpose processor for other parallel workloads. This processor feature is available to application developers by means of the open Video Acceleration API (VAAPI [1]).
