ALTERA DEVELOPMENT TOOLSB r o u g h t t o y o u b y A r r o w E l e c t r o n i c s

Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Arrow Electronics Development Tools brochure. In a global and collaborative effort, we have teamed up once again with Altera and Linear Technology, as well as Samtec, Micron, and Silicon Labs. Since 2009, through our development tool brochures, we’ve delivered, verified, and optimized power and analog solutions for a wide range of programmable devices.

We are excited about the addition of the new 28-nm devices to the brochure. As system performance, power, and cost requirements continue to expand and conflict, you'll be able to find the devices that meet your new levels of performance, integration, and power consumption.

Linear Technology has worked closely with Altera and their strategic partners to provide you with approved and tested solutions for your FPGA and CPLD-based systems. This brochure gives you the means to evaluate their powerful development tools and tap into technology leadership. Arrow’s experts will help you select the right tools for your new design.

Arrow will help guide you at every step of your product’s development. Our factory-certified FAEs support Altera and Linear Technology while also designing and working across a broad range of applications. Arrow's world-class design services, training, and tools keep your project on track and minimize your time to market.

The Stratix FPGA series enables you to deliver high-performance, state-of-the-art products to market faster with lower risk and higher productivity. With its high density, high performance, and rich feature set, you can integrate more functions and maximize performance. Using the Quartus II design software suite, along with a broad portfolio of IP, you can gain the highest level of productivity for large and complex team-based designs. Also contributing to the total solution are HardCopy ASICs, which provide a seamless migration path to low-cost volume production. Backed by Altera’s track record as a reliable and high-quality supplier, the Stratix FPGA series delivers the technology resources you need to design with confidence.Key features

• Industry’sbiggestandfastestFPGAs• Lowestpowerhigh-endFPGAs• OnlyFPGAswithintegrated11.3Gbpstransceivers• Flexibleandhigh-performanceI/Opins• HighestDSPandmemorycapabilities• Pathtolow-cost,lowestriskHardCopyASICs,includingtransceiveroption• Volatileandnon-volatiledesignsecurity• QuartusIIdesignsoftwareforhighestperformanceandproductivity

Arria series FPGAs optimize power, performance, and cost for applications requiring 3G transceivers. This series is ideal for a wide range of applications using mainstream protocols such as PCIe, CPRI, SDI, GbE, and more. With the integrated Quartus II design environment, IP, reference designs, design examples, and development kits, you’ll get your design up and running in no time.Key features

• Optimizedpower,performance,andcostfor3Gapplications• Proventransceiverarchitecturewithbest-in-classsignalintegrity• Highlyproductive,easy-to-usecommondesignenvironment• Ready-to-usereferencedesigns,designexamples,andIP

For your cost-sensitive, high-volume applications, Altera offers the Cyclone FPGA series—the industry’s only FPGAs designed from the ground up for low cost. Each family member is individually optimized for cost, and delivers a high-volume solution that’s competitive with ASICs and ASSPs. This series of FPGAs—including the 60-nm Cyclone IV, 65-nm Cyclone III, 90-nm Cyclone II, and 130-nm Cyclone families—delivers a customer-defined feature set, industry-leading performance, and the lowest power consumption.Key features

Altera’s market-leading MAX series of CPLDs are world-class, low-cost devices designed for virtually any digital and some analog control functions. As non-volatile, single-chip solutions, MAX CPLDs are easy to incorporate into your system. With the devices, you can solve board-level issues such as insufficient I/O pins on a processor; manage analog I/Os for light, sound, and motion; apply level-shifting signals or buses between components; and inexpensively convert incompatible interfaces (a.k.a. “glue logic”). Designed to be hassle-free with intuitive device behavior and software, MAX CPLDs give you the freedom to focus on your more complex design challenges.Key features

INTERCONNECT STACKING SOLUTIONS

The HSMC connectors defined by the specification are based on the 0.5mm pitch Q Strip® (QSH/QTH Series) high speed board-to-board connectors from Samtec. Many Altera development kits feature host boards with the HSMC connectors. The host board connector is Samtec part number ASP-122953-01 (a modified QSH Series). The mezzanine card connector is Samtec part number ASP-122952-01 (a modified QTH Series).

These host boards are used by FPGA designers to prototype hardware

High Speed Mezzanine Card Connectors & Altera Development Kitsdesigns. The benefit to customers is two-fold. First, a variety of mezzanine cards are being created by Altera and other hardware providers. Second, customers can create their own HSMC solutions and then interface those custom mezzanine cards to several different FPGA host boards. For a complete listing of Altera daughter cards to expand the functionality of other development platforms (including those utilizing the HSMC Specification) go to: www.altera.com/products/devkits/kit-daughter_boards.jsp

the way mezzanine cards communicate and connect to host boards. By taking advantage of the high-performance I/O features in today’s FPGAs, manufacturers can build a single mezzanine card that interfaces to multiple host boards. They can also build a host board that can leverage many different, pre-built, mezzanine cards.
