One Size Does Not Fit AllWhat do you do when system performance demands threaten to increase power consumption and cost? What happens if you’ve got the power you need but not the performance?

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to sacrifice one benefit to gain another?

That’s the thinking behind the Altera® 28 nm device portfolio. Whether you need the highest performance, the lowest cost, or something in between, our process strategy is tailored to your design needs. So you’ll get just what you need to differentiate your products without any tradeoffs.

The portfolio includes:

•Cyclone® V FPGAs: The industry’s lowest system cost and power, along with performance levels ideal for differentiating high-volume applications

•Arria® V FPGAs: The optimal balance of power, performance, and system cost for midrange applications

•Stratix® V FPGAs: The highest bandwidth, density, and performance at the lowest total power for high-end designs

•CycloneVandArriaVSoCFPGAs: The performance, power, and cost savings of hard logic with the flexibility and time-to-market benefits of programmable logic

•HardCopy®VASICs: The path to lower unit cost, low power, and high-volume production

In our newest devices, you get abundant hard intellectual property (IP) blocks. You’ll be able to reduce design time, related soft costs, and power, while getting the performance you need. What’s more, you also get a broad set of soft and hard embedded processor cores from Altera (Nios® II processor), and partners (such as Freescale’s V1 ColdFire), all using a common design flow.

Low-Cost CPLD FamilyIn addition to 28 nm FPGAs, Altera’s MAX® V CPLDs provide the industry’s best value with their mix of low price, low power, and robust features for general-purpose and portable applications. You’ll get:

•Anon-volatilearchitectureforfastperformanceof“bootloader”functions

•Upto50percentlowertotalpowerversuscompetingCPLDs,withstaticpoweraslowas45µW

•Packagesassmallas20mm2

Why Process MattersAltera’s 28 nm devices were developed on two different processes from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC). Because each process is optimized for a specific set of advantages, the portfolio of devices is capable of meeting a wide range of design requirements.

•TSMC’s28nmLowPower(28LP)processisoptimizedforlowestpowerandcost,deliveringupto50percentlowerdynamicpowerversusthepreviousgeneration.CycloneVandArriaVFPGAs are manufactured on the 28LP process.

•TSMC’s28nmHighPerformance(28HP)processisoptimizedforhighestbandwidthwithoutexceedingyourpowerbudget,yielding35percentfasterdevicesversusthe28LPprocess.StratixVandFPGAsaremanufacturedonthe28HPprocess.

Our latest programmable devices are supported by rich design resources and meet your unique needs.
