About Altera (Intel® PSG)

Altera, now part of Intel’s Programmable Solutions Group, pioneered high-value FPGA technology for over three decades. Their Cyclone® series established new benchmarks for power-efficient programmable logic in cost-sensitive applications, combining silicon innovation with Quartus® II design software.

Renowned for rigorous quality testing and long-term component reliability, Altera FPGAs serve mission-critical industries worldwide. PCX sources exclusively through authorized channels, guaranteeing authentic Altera silicon with full traceability.

About Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)

FPGAs provide hardware-reconfigurable digital circuits that can be programmed post-manufacturing. Unlike fixed-function ICs, they allow designers to implement custom logic, processors, or I/O interfaces through HDL programming, enabling rapid prototyping and field-upgradable systems.

These devices excel in parallel processing tasks where ASICs would be cost-prohibitive. Common FPGA applications include real-time signal processing, protocol bridging, motor control, and hardware acceleration. Their flexibility makes them indispensable for evolving electronic designs.

FAQ

Q: Is this FPGA suitable for new designs?
A: This part is obsolete per Altera. We recommend it only for legacy system repairs or existing designs.

Q: What development tools support this Cyclone® FPGA?
A: Use Altera’s Quartus® II software (v13.1 or earlier). Check Intel’s website for legacy tool support.

Q: Can PCX provide programming services?
A: Yes! We offer pre-programming for FPGAs using your configuration files. Contact support for details.

Q: What’s the difference between LABs and Logic Elements?
A: Logic Elements (LEs) are basic logic units. LABs (Logic Array Blocks) group multiple LEs for efficient routing. This device has 291 LABs containing 2910 total LEs.

Q: Does the industrial temperature range require heatsinking?
A: Thermal management depends on your application’s power dissipation. Refer to the datasheet’s thermal guidelines for specifics.

Q: Are pin-compatible upgrades available?
A: Later Cyclone generations (e.g., Cyclone IV/V) offer enhanced features but may require redesign. Our engineers can suggest alternatives.
