Īltera offered soft processor cores on the Nios II embedded processor, the Freescale ColdFire v1 core (free for Cyclone III FPGA), and the ARM Cortex-M1 processor as well as a hard IP processor core on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor.Īll of Altera's devices were supported by a common design environment, Quartus II design software. In 2000, Altera acquired Designpro, a provider of IP cores. IP cores eliminate some of the time-consuming tasks of creating every block in a design from scratch. Semiconductor intellectual property cores Īltera and its partners offered an array of semiconductor intellectual property cores that served as building blocks that design engineers can drop into their system designs to perform specific functions. In 2007, Altera’s Nios II FPGA soft processor core became available for standard cell ASIC designs. Altera's HardCopy Design Center managed test insertion.

Design engineers were able to employ a single RTL, set of intellectual property (IP) cores, and Quartus II design software for both FPGA and ASIC implementations. The flow was benchmarked to deliver systems to market 9 to 12 months faster, on average, than with standard-cell solutions. The unique design flow made hardware/software co-design and co-verification possible.

Design engineers could prototype their designs in Stratix series FPGAs, and then migrate these designs to HardCopy ASICs when they were ready for volume production. This design flow reduced design security risks as well as costs for higher volume production. Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) Īltera offered a publicly available ASIC design flow based on HardCopy ASICs, which transitioned an FPGA design, once finalized, to a form which is not alterable.

Unlike converters made from discrete components, Enpirion DC-DC converters were simulated, characterized, validated and production qualified at delivery. In May 2013, Altera acquired embedded power chipmaker Enpirion for approximately $140 million in cash, providing Altera with power system on a chip DC-DC converters that enabled greater power densities and lower noise performance compared with their discrete equivalent.

These devices integrated FPGAs with full hard processor systems based around ARM architecture onto a single device. System on a chip FPGAs īeginning in December 2012, the company produced system on a chip FPGA devices using a fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) chip manufacturing process. In May 2013, Altera made available SDK for OpenCL, enabling software programmers to access the high-performance capabilities of programmable logic devices. In September 2000, the company acquired Northwest Logic to expand its design services for delivery of complete system-on-chip solutions.

The Stratix series FPGAs were the company's largest, highest bandwidth devices, with up to 1.1 million logic elements, integrated transceivers at up to 28 Gbit/s, up to 1.6 Tbit/s of serial switching capability, up to 1,840 GMACs of signal-processing performance, and up to 7 x72 DDR3 memory interfaces at 800 MHz. On December 28, 2015, the company was acquired by Intel.įPGA Developer-board with Altera Cyclone V SE FPGA In 1994, Altera acquired the PLD business of Intel for $50 million. In 1984, the company formed a long-running design partnership with Intel, and 1988, became a public company via an initial public offering. The name of the company was a play on "alterable", the type of chips the company created. The company was founded in 1983 by semiconductor veterans Rodney Smith, Robert Hartmann, James Sansbury, and Paul Newhagen with $500,000 in seed money. The main product lines from Altera were the Stratix, mid-range Arria, and lower-cost Cyclone series system on a chip field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) the MAX series complex programmable logic device and non-volatile FPGAs Intel Quartus Prime design software and Enpirion PowerSoC DC-DC power solutions. It was founded in 1983 and acquired by Intel in 2015. Altera Corporation was a manufacturer of programmable logic devices (PLDs) headquartered in San Jose, California.
