Altera Corporation

Altera Corporation (www.altera.com) is the world's pioneer of system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) solutions. With annual revenues in CY 2004 of $1.02 billion, Altera combines the reprogrammable logic technology originally invented in 1983 with software tools, intellectual property (IP), and design services to provide high-value programmable solutions to approximately 14,000 customers worldwide. Altera is headquartered in San Jose, California, and employs approximately 2,200 people in 19 countries.

Committed to helping customers achieve their business goals, Altera aggressively invests in research and development efforts despite global economic pressures. Altera's FPGAs are uniquely positioned to displace costly, high-risk solutions such as ASICs and ASSPs, and offer a viable, more flexible alternative to digital signal processors—delivering value to a much broader market than was previously addressed by programmable logic.

By partnering even more closely with our customers, Altera continues to develop new products and tools. Altera’s portfolio of industry-leading FPGAs, structured ASIC, and CPLD products have been overwhelmingly accepted in traditional markets and have quickly been incorporated into many new applications. Building on the award-winning Stratix® device family, Stratix II FPGAs offer twice the performance and 40 percent lower cost than their predecessor for high-density, general-purpose applications. Cyclone™ II FPGAs continue the low-cost FPGA leadership Altera established with the first-generation Cyclone family and delivers a flexible, low-risk, and low-cost solution that makes it a highly attractive alternative to low- and mid-density ASICs. HardCopy® II devices give volume-driven applications designers the ability to seamlessly migrate their design from an FPGA to a low-cost structured ASIC solution. MAX® II CPLDs set new CPLD standards and extend Altera’s sixteen years of market leadership. A library of IP cores for differentiation, including the Nios® II processor, gives customers a competitive edge. The Quartus® II design software supports all Altera products and is the easiest to use and most powerful design software available today for FPGA, structured ASIC, and CPLD designs. It offers customers full, risk-free design flexibility with maximum return on investment.
