Lowering the TCO in industrial applications
Approximately one-third of embedded designers surveyed on the adoption and use of FPGAs for embedded applications responded that they perceived FPGAs as too expensive to use in their designs. However, a look at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) at the system level reveals that Altera FPGAs offer competitive and flexible alternatives to discrete MCU/DSP/ASSP products.
Facing never-ending global competitive and economic pressures that continue to threaten their business models and bottom line profitability, industrial automation and process-control manufacturers are constantly grappling with cost challenges, including:
- Profitability versus R&D investments;
- Time-to-market pressures to adapt to changing economic conditions;
- Effective use of limited resources to update existing products, replace existing products, or launch new products; and
- Managing the product life cycle.
This whitepaper uses a design example to help designers - system, hardware and software engineers - understand how they can take advantage of Altera Cyclone and MAX 10 FPGAs to realise a lower TCO as measured by development, enhancement, replacement, and maintenance costs over the lifetime of the system.
