Online seminar explains
PCI Express package
Texas Instruments and Altera Corp are holding a free online seminar entitled: 'Delivering low-cost PCI Express x1 solutions for your needs'
The seminar will be broadcast on Tuesday 11th April 2006 at 1700 BST. It will provide a benefit overview of x1 low-cost PCI Express and offer ideas for overcoming challenges in high-speed PCI Express system development. System architects, embedded systems designers, FPGA developers, and engineering and technical managers will hear experts Jawaid Ahmad of TI and Stephen Lim of Altera discuss: challenges in implementing and designing high-speed PCI Express solutions; how the joint TI and Altera x1 PCI Express solution effectively addresses these challenges; XIO1100, the third-generation PCI Express spec 1.1 compliant x1 PHY from TI; the PCI Express intellectual property (IP) core from Altera to meet their systems' requirements; and the lowest-cost FPGA family, Cyclone II from Altera.
