Profile: Altera Corporation specializes in supplying custom logic solutions to the electronics industry. Our Stratix™ V GT FPGA is optimized for applications with 28-Gbps transceivers requiring ultra-high bandwidth and performance, such as 40G/100G/400G applications. The Arria® GX FPGA family is our midrange FPGA family with transceivers. With transceiver speeds up to 3.125 Gbps, it can connect existing modules and devices supporting protocols such as PCI express, gigabit ethernet, serial RapidIO®, SDI and XAUI. This transceiver is based on the technology originally developed for our highly successful Stratix® II GX FPGA. Arria GX and Stratix II GX FPGAs are manufactured on a 90-nm process technology and use the same proven FPGA architecture and physical medium attachment (PMA) circuitry. The Arria GX FPGA also includes a subset of the physical coding sublayer (PCS) found on the Stratix II GX FPGA. Combined with flip chip packaging, these features contribute to best-in-class signal integrity for low-cost FPGAs with transceivers. The brands we provide include Altera™, Stratix™, Cyclone™, MAX™, HardCopy™, Nios™, Quartus™ and MegaCore™.
