Altium extends range of FPGA support

Altium has extended its FPGA support to include the Altera Stratix III and LatticeXP2 families of programmable devices.

Electronics designers now have opportunities to harness the power of FPGAs and explore design concepts in real time, without having to make final decisions on device choice too early in the design process.

The Altera Stratix III and LatticeXP2 programmable devices form part of Altium's growing list of supported device families, continuing Altium's commitment to provide designers with a flexible, vendor-neutral unified electronics design solution.

Electronics designers working on embedded designs or looking to move more of what would have been previously hardwired into the soft domain, can now easily explore new design concepts.

And they can experiment with different devices to determine how best to execute their design in real time, all without major design rework.

Altium's unified electronics design environment provides pre-synthesized, ready-to-use 'soft' FPGA components that give designers the ability to program or change devices without the 'sticky' IP issues that inhibit innovation.

Because Altium pre-synthesizes components for all supported Xilinx, Altera, Lattice and Actel FPGA device families, the system will automatically extract the appropriate models for the target devices and employ them throughout the design.

This streamlines and speeds up the design process, allowing engineers to explore alternative devices without constraint.
