Learn all about system-level design online

Altium has produced an on-demand technical webcast that discusses a unique approach to system-level design.

Altium has produced an on-demand technical webcast that discusses a unique approach to system-level design.

Led by Nancy Eastman, President of Altium, the webcast discusses using low-cost, high-performance FPGAs as a production platform for processor-based system design, and highlights the significant productivity-enhancing benefits these devices offer to mainstream electronics engineers.

The webcast also features a live demonstration of Nexar, the only complete, FPGA vendor- and device-independent tool available that offers designers the ability to build complete embedded systems on FPGAs with the same ease as creating a discrete system on a PCB.

The webcast also gives viewers the chance to see "LiveDesign" - Altium's new interactive, real-time design and debug methodology - in action.

"There is no question, the next wave of change is going to be the 'system-on-FPGA revolution'", said Nick Martin, joint CEO and founder, Altium.

"As the price/density threshold continues to drop, the resulting time-to-market advantages and cost savings will make 'systems-on-FPGAs' too compelling to ignore".

Martin continued: "It is my personal belief that the key to unlocking the potential of this vast new market is the ability to provide mainstream engineers with tools that are 'FPGA-ready'".

"This is particularly important for board-level designers as they will increasingly need to come to terms with putting more of their circuitry on a 'programmable platform'".

"Altium intends to fully support this".

The on-demand webcast can be viewed now on Altium's website.

It lasts for 45 minutes and there is no charge or preregistration process required for viewing.

The webcast audio is in English, but there are translations of the transcript and PowerPoint slides available for download in both French and German.
