Altera Introduces New Version of DSP Builder Tool
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Altera has announced its DSP Builder tool version 8.0, featuring
second-generation model-based synthesis technology.
According to company officials, the technology allows DSP designers to
automatically generate timing-optimized RTL code based on high-level
Simulink design descriptions.
"DSP Builder's second-generation model-based synthesis technology
allows customers to use Simulink as the modeling, simulation and
implementation environment of choice for high-performance DSP designs,"
said Ken Karnofsky, marketing director for signal processing and
communications at The MathWorks. "This technology allows designers to
vastly improve their productivity as they implement DSP functionality
on Altera's FPGAs."
Altera also said that the DSP Builder tool automatically adds pipelined
stages and registers, and implements time division multiplexing to
generate highly optimized designs for functions such as digital
upconversion (DUC), downcoversion (DDC), crest factor reduction (CFR)
and digital pre distortion (DPD).
"Altera continues to set the standard for FPGA design productivity,
including high-performance DSP designs," said Chris Balough, marketing
director for software, embedded, and DSP at Altera. "The innovative
synthesis technology included in DSP Builder version 8.0 delivers a
timing-driven FPGA implementation environment that allows designers to
get the system performance they require with the push of a
button--enabling an order-of-magnitude productivity gain."
Altera creates programmable solutions for system and semiconductor
companies.
