Altera® MAX® 10 SoC FPGA

The non-volatile integration landscape has been revolutionized by the Altera® MAX® 10 FPGA, which represents a significant leap forward in this field. This impressive chip is housed in a compact form factor programmable logic device that is both cost-effective and low-power, yet boasts advanced processing capabilities. The use of TSMC's 55 nm embedded NOR flash technology is one of the key benefits of the Altera® MAX® 10 FPGA, as it allows for instant-on functionality. Moreover, this chip is equipped with built-in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and dual configuration flash, enabling the storage and dynamic switching between two images on a single chip. Unlike CPLDs, the Altera® MAX® 10 FPGA offers a comprehensive suite of FPGA capabilities, including support for Nios® II soft-core embedded processors, digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, and soft DDR3 memory controllers.
