Altium has announced a new daughterboard for its desktop NanoBoard reconfigurable hardware development platform.
This latest plug-in daughterboard targets Altera’s low-cost Cyclone III EP3C40 FPGA in a 780 BGA package. The daughterboard includes a range of onboard memories for application use and a 1-wire memory device used to store board identification and related information.
The Altera Cyclone III FPGA plug-in daughterboard offers an opportunity for electronics engineers to experiment with different programmable devices, particularly in mainstream electronics design. This means that designers do not need to commit to their final device too early in the design cycle. For example, they have the option of creating their design using one FPGA, and choosing another device for their final product. Designers can also observe the performance of an actual design running on the NanoBoard, and compare it with other devices simply by swapping daughter boards and rebooting in seconds.
When the desktop NanoBoard is combined with Altium’s unified electronics design solution, Altium Designer, designers have an ‘innovation station’ that lets them create prototypes rapidly, optimise product performance and overall cost in their designs, and create a competitive advantage embedded within the design.
Altium Designer’s unified design environment also lets designers lay out custom printed circuit boards once the design is final. It manages all the design documentation required to take the design through the complete design process – early concept development; multiple prototype creation on the desktop NanoBoard; custom 3D PCB design, including dynamic clearance checking between the PCB and its casing; and final output files for manufacturing. Every designer on a project accesses a single design data model, can see the changes in the design as they happen, and can update versions and associated documentation with a single command.
