High Performance FPGA based SOC/ASIC/IP Prototype Board
StarFire-V340
StarFire-V340 is based on a piece of device of Altera® Stratix III 340 that is equivalent to up to 3.4 Million AISC gates to be prototyped. With highly flexible power, clock, memory and peripheral configurations on board and many daughter boards extendable as well, StarFire-V340 is a powerful tool for the software/hardware co-development, enables users to greatly shorten the time to market on their design projects.
StarFire-V340 prototype board supports SOC/ASIC and IP design verification on Digital TV, STB, PMP, mobile multi-media, and any other Video/Audio related designs.
