System Designers Can Test Drive IP Cores Today for Industry's Only 0.13-micron Production-Grade FPGAs
Altera Corporation announced the immediate availability of more than 240 intellectual property (IP) cores optimized for its StratixTM and CycloneTM FPGAs, the only 0.13-micron production-grade FPGAs available today. All of these IP cores are part of Altera's OpenCore® and/or OpenCore Plus evaluation programs-free and easy ways for system designers to evaluate IP cores before purchase. Altera's IP cores are used by system designers around the world as a way to customize their system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs for a broad range of applications.
Extending the OpenCore evaluation process, the OpenCore Plus program provides customers with the ability to test their designs in hardware prior to purchase. During the last six months alone, system designers have conducted more than 10,000 IP core evaluations through the OpenCore and OpenCore Plus programs.
Designers can also target their designs at two more production-qualified devices, the Stratix EP1S60 and the Cyclone EP1C12 devices, which begin shipping to customers this week. This brings to 10 the number of production qualified FPGAs built on TSMC's state-of-the-art 0.13-micron, all-layer copper process technology that Altera is now shipping.
