Altera Ships Two New Intellectual Property Cores Targeting the Communications Market.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1999-- Altera Corporation (Nasdaq:ALTR) today announced that it is shipping two new intellectual property cores that were developed interna mobile and satellite communications, deep-spaceorted by both Altera's MAX+PLUS(R) II and Quartlysis, and device programming. "These two megafunctions, combined with our devices and software, contribute to providing our customers with a complete System-on-a-Programmable Chip(TM) solution unmatched by anyone in the industry," wo cores expand on the Altera promise of providing programmable solutions that deliver the high performance, easy customization, and fast time-to-market that communicatiover a communications channel Also called a "circuit" or "line," it is a pathway over which data are transferred between remote devices. It may refer to the entire physical medium, such as a telephone line, optical fiber, coaxial cable or twisted wire pair, or, it may refer to one of several carrier frequencies . Once the data hast vectors based on the parameters. The Reed-Solomon MegaCore function is delivered with a compiled VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; model for efficient simulation in the user's system. Symbol Interleaver/Deinterleaver Megafunction Interleaving interleaving - sector interleave is possible to easily choose simple settings such as symbol width, number of branches, and unit delay element. Together with the Reed-Solomon core, designers can efficiently build forward error correction A communications technique that can correct bad data on the receiving end. Before transmission, the data are processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits for error correction. If the transmitted message is received in error, the correction bits are used to repair it. functions as described, for exampleo third-party design tools, providing a highly integrated design solution. The MegaWizard Plug-In capability is available in both Altera's fourth-generation Quartus development environment and in the MAX+PLUS II development system. nterleaver/Deinterleaver MegaCores are shipping now. The Reed-Solomon Encoder/Decoder (ordering code: PLSM-RSCODEC) is priced at $5,995. The Symbol Interleaver/Deinterleaver (ordering code: PLSM-INLV) is priced at $3,995. Both products come complete with user guides. Customers can evaluate megafunctions for free prior to licensing via Altera's OpenCore(TM) feature, available at http://www.altera.com/Ipmegasto.
