ALTERA
Altera is a pioneering brand in the field of programmable logic devices (PLDs), including FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices), and related development tools. Founded in 1983 in California, Altera quickly became a leader in programmable logic, offering engineers the flexibility to design custom digital circuits without fabricating dedicated silicon.
The company was known for its innovative FPGA architectures, high-performance logic devices, and comprehensive software development environment, which enabled rapid prototyping and deployment in applications ranging from telecommunications and industrial automation to consumer electronics.
In 2015, Altera was acquired by Intel Corporation, becoming a key part of Intel’s programmable solutions group. Today, Altera-branded products continue to deliver flexible, high-performance programmable logic solutions under Intel’s stewardship, trusted by engineers worldwide for designing cutting-edge digital systems.
