Altera’s Stratix III Devices Featured in Capacity ASIC Prototyping Board

Altera Corporation has announced The Dini Group selected the Stratix III EP3SL340 FPGA, featuring 340K logic elements (LEs), in its DN7020K10, the single-board FPGA-based prototyping engine. The DN7020K10 supports 20 EP3SL340 FPGAs in 1,760-pin packages providing 1,104 user I/Os per device and a capacity of more than 50 million equivalent ASIC gates. Customers designing custom ASICs, such as those used in wireless communications, networking and graphics-processing applications, can use this high-capacity prototyping board to verify their logic designs and run them at near real-time clock speeds. Altera’s Stratix III family of high-end FPGAs delivers the power consumption, performance and density 65-nm device. The Stratix III EP3SL340 features 340K LEs, supports DDR3 memory with interface speeds in excess of 1067 Mbps, and features Altera’s innovative Programmable Power Technology. The device’s density combined with 17 Mbits of embedded memory and 575 18x18 multipliers give designers an unparalleled level of functionality. The Stratix III FPGA-based boards are available now from The Dini Group.
