Altera Power/Cost-Optimized FPGAs

Altera Power/Cost-Optimized FPGAs are designed to provide balanced performance, power efficiency, small form factor, simplicity, and low cost for users' FPGA designs. Selected MAX® and Cyclone® families combined with the Agilex™ 3 FPGA family deliver exceptional value for various applications. Suppose a customer's design does not require the biggest, fastest, or most feature-rich FPGAs available. In that case, these Altera Power/Cost-Optimized FPGAs are the recommended products to choose from if FPGA advantages are still needed: flexibility with performance.

Features

  • High integration - With integrated features and high I/O density, Altera FPGAs reduce the need for additional components, simplifying the design process and reducing costs.
    • The MAX 10 FPGAs are non-volatile devices that also include ADC and AI-capable DSP blocks and offer a single-power supply solution for enhanced integration.
    • The Cyclone V and Agilex 3 families offer options including embedded ARM processors and high-speed transceivers, providing more flexibility and computing power within the same FPGA.
  • Cost optimization - these Altera devices are designed to provide the best performance per dollar and are ideal for cost-sensitive applications.
  • Power efficiency - Altera FPGAs are optimized for low total power consumption, helping to create energy-efficient designs.
  • Advanced no-cost tools - Altera Quartus Prime design software offers a comprehensive design environment with advanced features typically found in expensive tools, all at no cost for these devices.
