Forging ahead in new applications
Due to their unprecedented combination of low power, high functionality, and low cost, you can use
Cyclone III FPGAs in an ever-expanding list of high-volume applications—many of which were previously exclusive
to ASICs and ASSPs. These are just a few of the many application areas where we can help you prosper.
Video and image
processing
Game, set, match point. You’ll
catch all the action clearly in both
standard-definition and high-
definition transmissions. Our
devices are a perfect fit for DSP,
video system I/O, video compression
encoding and decoding, and other
video and image processing tasks.
Drive these cost-sensitive applica-
tions and others with the parallel
processing capability of DSP-rich
and memory-rich Cyclone III FPGAs.
The ball keeps moving faster. With
us, you’ll stay a step ahead.
Displays
Picture perfect. That’s what you want
to achieve, whether it’s liquid crystal
displays, plasma display panels,
plasma low-profile, or liquid crystal
on silicon. Of course, you have to
reach your goals faster and cheaper
than the competition. And there’s a
lot of competition to beat. We help
you create a single platform that can
be used for multiple product lines
and image resolutions. You’ll be able
to deliver the latest feature set in no
time. Get to volume first using
display-optimized features to
seamlessly integrate designs, rapidly
update products, and lower costs in
your system so you’re crystal clear.
Wireless
Connecting on the go shapes our
world. People keep moving farther,
faster, in no time, and so does the
wireless technology that makes it
all possible. In areas such as digital
intermediate frequency (IF) and
baseband modems, you can achieve
high-bandwidth parallel processing.
Lower your cost and power con-
sumption with Cyclone III DSP-rich
and memory-rich FPGAs. Make the
world a better connected place.
