Altera’s proprietary Programmable Power Technology enables the Stratix® III logic fabric to consume less core power than Virtex-5 when implementing the same design. In this 4-minute video, you’ll see a side-by-side comparison and how Stratix III FPGAs allow for the lowest possible power consumption without compromising performance.

Stratix® III FPGAs, with their proprietary built-in I/O circuitry, reduce the challenges of high-speed DDR3 memory design. Watch this 4-minute demo to see how easy it is to interface 1,067 Mbps DDR3 memories to Stratix III FPGAs while maintaining optimal signal integrity at very high data rates. Stratix III FPGAs feature robust DDR3 write-leveling for interfacing with high-speed DDR3 memory and provide I/O circuitry that is capable of high speeds and greater flexibility to support existing and emerging external memory standards.

With the introduction of cutting-edge touch screen products, the demand for multi-touch user-machine interfaces is growing.
