TTP Controller IP in Altera's Low-Cost Cyclone FPGA Families for Aerospace Applications
Traditional TTP IP solutions, utilized in the past in ASICs for major aerospace programs, can be now also implemented using Altera’s low-cost Cyclone II and Cyclone III FPGAs or HardCopy® II structured ASICs. Altera’s Cyclone III FPGA family provides the highest performance and lowest power, compared to any competing low-cost FPGA. Cyclone III devices are available in up to three temperature grades to support varying operating environments with junction temperature support from -40 °C to +125 °C.

“Having the support of TTTech’s TTP controller chip IP provides an important component of Altera’s enhanced COTS strategy in the aerospace market. The support of reusable DO-254 compliant IP cores insures safety practices required by the aerospace industry and reduces program risk and cost,” says Karl-Heinz Gatterer, Military and Aerospace Marketing Manager Europe from Altera.
“Together with Altera’s Cyclone II, Cyclone III and NIOS® II embedded processors, we are able to address application requirements for a very compact design of distributed embedded systems and smart sensor / actuator modules, that otherwise would require several components – thus reducing system cost and increasing reliability,” says Guenter Motzet, Director Chip IP Design from TTTech, “With this wide application background, aerospace customers can immediately benefit from the success of TTP implementation.”
