About Altera

Altera, a pioneer in programmable logic solutions, drives innovation in high-performance embedded systems. Renowned for their FPGA and CPLD technologies, Altera devices deliver industry-leading power efficiency and computational density across aerospace, telecom, and industrial sectors.

With rigorous quality control and extended product lifecycles, Altera components ensure long-term design stability. Their MAX® V series exemplifies this commitment, offering hardened IP blocks and error-correcting memory for mission-critical deployments. PCX partners directly with Altera to provide certified components.

About CPLDs

Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) bridge the gap between discrete logic ICs and high-capacity FPGAs. They consolidate multiple PALs and GALs into a single chip, enabling customizable digital functions like state machines, address decoding, and data routing without ASIC development costs.

CPLDs excel in low-latency applications requiring deterministic timing, such as power-on sequencing or real-time I/O expansion. Their non-volatile configuration retains programming during power cycles, simplifying system initialization. The Altera MAX® V series further enhances this with integrated flash memory and 40% lower power than previous generations.
