Altera shipping full line of 65nm Cyclone III FPGAs

Altera Corp. has announced that all eight members of its low-power, low-cost Cyclone III family of 65nm FPGAs are now shipping in production quantities. Since its March 2007 introduction, the Cyclone III family quickly has been adopted into numerous customer systems in the wireless, military, display, automotive and industrial markets.

Cyclone III devices consume 75 percent less power than competing FPGAs while delivering 5K to 120K logic elements (LEs), up to 4Mb of memory and up to 288 digital signal processing (DSP) multipliers. Built on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s (TSMC's) 65nm low-power (LP) process, the Cyclone III family includes devices that are qualified for commercial, industrial and extended temperatures.
