Audio Power Management in Portable Multimedia Designs
Peter Frith, CTO, and Angus Jackson, design group leader at Wolfson Electronics, look at the issues driving audio design in today’s portable appliances and outline the chip architectures and detailed design strategies that keep the industry moving forwards.
Power Consumption in 65 nm FPGAs
With the introduction of the Xilinx-5 family, Xilinx is once again leading the charge to deliver new technologies and capabilities to FPGA customers.
The IntelliRate Architecture
Agere's revolutionary architecture technique to low-power network equipment addresses the exploding demand for next-generation broadband data applications. This architecture called IntelliRate offers users a unique set of advantages over other techniques and will deliver significant savings in power dissipation.
Achieving Low Power in 65-nm Cyclone III FPGAs
Increased features and greater performance have traditionally dominated industry expectations for next generation FPGAs. No more. Today designers must integrate these compelling features with even greater spatial constraints. Altera's Cyclone III devices help engineers deliver solutions in highly cost sensitive high volume applications.
Redpine Differentiates with Ultra-Low-Power Design
With a product range aimed squarely at the wireless convergence market, Redpine Signals' expertise is centered on ultra-low-power design. Synopsys was chosen to provide a robust and accurate low-power design flow that also supports their future low-power plans. The results optimized Redpine's design flow, resulting in drastic power savings.
