Altera's Cyclone III FPGA Development Kit combines the largest density low-cost, low-power FPGA available with a robust set of memories and user interfaces. The kit dramatically reduces the design and verification portion of your project, whether it’s for automotive, consumer, wireless communications, video processing or another high-volume, cost-sensitive application.
The low-cost Cyclone III FPGA family—the industry’s first family of low-cost, 60-nm devices—offers an unprecedented combination of low power, high functionality, and low cost. Cyclone III devices are ideal to complement or replace ASSPs or ASICs.
If you are an experienced FPGA designer checking out the Cyclone III architecture, you'll love building systems leveraging the 50 percent (on average) faster performance Cyclone III FPGAs offer over the competition.
