Altera Wins Two 2014 DesignVision Awards for its 14 nm Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs and ARM DS-5 Altera Edition Toolkit for SoCs

Customers Can Jumpstart Development of JESD204B Serial Interfaces by Leveraging Altera’s Online Resource Center

In the early days of FPGAs, we did our work with schematics. FPGAs were small, and you could stitch together a little gate-level schematic pretty easily. Then, it was just a matter of running the FPGA tool flow, and a few seconds later you had a bitstream ready to program your cute little programmable logic device.

Xilinx absolutely believes in the future of 3D ICs. We use 3D technology to deliver “More than Moore” because our best customers always want more. At Xilinx, the commercialization of 3D IC technology started with the company’s 7 series all programmable devices and with the Virtex-7 2000T 3D IC. We created this device so that we could deliver the largest all programmable device in the industry.

San Jose, Calif., January 6, 2014–Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced it has been honored by ZTE with its Best Technical Support award. ZTE, a leading telecommunications company, presented Altera with the award at a recent supplier day event in Shenzhen, China.

Presentation and demonstrations highlight innovative customer and ecosystem products built on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC

Xilinx has announced the availability of its 20nm All Programmable UltraScale portfolio with product documentation and Vivado Design Suite support. The new product portfolio extends Xilinx’s Kintex and Virtex FPGA and 3D IC families, with the superior gate density of TSMC’s 20SoC process.

Virtex UltraScale extends device density lead from 2x at 28nm to 4x at 20nm, using advanced 3D IC technology to deliver an extra node worth of customer value

The ZYBO (Zynq Board) from Diligent offers a low-cost alternative to the ZedBoard for designers who don’t require the FMC connector’s high-density I/O, but still want to leverage the processing power and extensibility of Xilinx’s Zynq All Programmable System-On-Chip (AP SoC) architecture.
