Texas Memory Systems (TMS) has used multiple Altera Cyclone FPGAs to enable the breakthrough performance of its RamSan-320 data storage appliance.
Altera has led the CPLD market for more than 15 years and is further strengthening its leadership position with its new MAX II family.
"MAX II devices enable us to achieve new levels of integration and cost efficiency that are not possible with CPLDs from other suppliers", said Scott Baxter, General Manager of Research and Development for TTE.
"By enabling us to maximise the value of our DLP TVs and respond quickly to customer demands, Altera's low-cost devices help us deliver the features that consumers want at affordable price points".
"MAX CPLDs are being used by designers across all end markets", said George Papa, Altera's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales.
"This milestone reinforces our position as the CPLD industry leader".
"Furthermore, the rollout of the MAX II family demonstrates Altera's continued ability to deliver programmable technologies that meet the rigorous low-power and low-cost requirements of today's high-performance systems".
The MAX II family is half the cost and consumes one-tenth the power of previous MAX generations, while maintaining the same single-chip, nonvolatile, and ease-of-use characteristics of the original MAX series.
Due to its density and cost characteristics, the MAX II family can be used to replace less flexible and more expensive ASSPs, ASICs and discrete devices.
