Semiconductor Vendor with ARM Processor RTL license from ARM

Product Description

Altera produces low-cost to high-end programmable logic devices matched by a structured ASIC capability and supported with a package of development software and IP.

Cyclone® Series FPGAs: A wide range of density, memory, embedded multiplier, and packaging options. Newer families include integrated transceiver options (at data rates up to 5G). Cyclone series FPGAs are an optimal solution for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications. Cyclone V SoC FPGAs offer an ARM-based hard processor system (HPS) for higher integration and power savings.

Arria® Series FPGAs: Ideal for cost- and power-sensitive, transceiver-based, and embedded applications. Its memory, logic, and DSP blocks combine with superior signal integrity of up to 10.3125-Gbps transceivers to integrate more functions and maximize system bandwidth. Arria V SoC FPGAs offer an ARM-based hard processor system (HPS) for higher integration and power savings.

Stratix® Series FPGAs: The industry's highest-bandwidth, highest-density FPGAs, ideal for high-end applications. Newer families come with integrated transceiver options (at data rates up to 28G). They simplify the challenges of signal integrity by providing transceivers with best-in-class jitter characteristics. Stratix FPGAs provide the high performance and high-integration capabilities needed for next-generation basestations, network infrastructure, and advanced imaging equipment.

Max® Series CPLDs: Lowest power, lowest cost CPLDsfeature a unique, non-volatile architecture, ideal for general-purpose and portable designs in a wide variety of market segments. MAX II CPLDs are instant-on, non-volatile devices that target general-purpose, low-density logic and portable applications.

HardCopy® Structured ASICs: Pin-for-pin compatible with Stratix FPGAs, HardCopy ASICs provide a seamless migration path from fast time-to-market FPGA implementation to lower cost volume production.

A common, productivity-enhancing design environment lets you quickly turn concepts into revenue-generating applications:
• Quartus® II design software provides the fastest path to convert your concept into reality. Its Qsys system integration tool saves significant time and effort in the FPGA design process by automatically generating interconnect logic to connect IP functions and subsystems.
• Embedded processors for efficient implementation of software-oriented features. Our multi-vendor, multi-CPU architecture system-on-a-chip platform includes ARM and Nios® II processor options.
• Soft IP functions for quick and easy implementation of hardware functions
