Altera FPGAs Address Design Challenges at DesignCon 2007


What:
High-end FPGAs, structured ASICs, design tools as well as protocol solutions from Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR) and its partners will beon exhibit at DesignCon 2007. Taking place Jan. 29 to Feb. 1 in Santa Clara, Calif., visitors to Altera's booth no. 503 will:

· Discover how the award-winning 65-nm Stratix® III FPGAs, HardCopy® II structured ASIC family and software design tools deliver the highest performance with the lowest power in the industry.

· Witness the industry's fastest production FPGA serial transceivers operating error free on 1 m of FR-4 backplane and 15 m of PCI Express cable.

· See the first demonstration showcasing the interoperability of Altera's Stratix II GX FPGA, running Sarance Technologies' Interlaken intellectual property (IP) core which includes five channels at 6.375 Gbps, with Cortina's CS3477, the market's highest-density, bandwidth-doubling 10 Gbps Ethernet MAC Aggregator IC.
