Because they enable fast time-to-market and low-cost flexible solutions, Altera® programmable logic devices (PLDs) are being integrated into a growing array of industrial designs. From programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and I/O modules to servo drives and motion controllers, products based on PLDs can be quickly modified to support new functionalities or requirements. Since PLD designs are based on intellectual property (IP) and HDL, they can be migrated easily to different devices or even to new generations of PLDs. This flexibility, along with the longevity of PLD devices, means that you don’t have to worry about obsolescence.

In short, PLDs help you tackle your toughest challenges:

  • Adapting quickly to end market changes
  • Enabling cost-saving design reuse
  • Evolving with changing business requirements
  • Supporting multiple networking standards

Altera provides a powerful product portfolio to accelerate industrial application development—development tools, on-board memory, lots of I/O pins, and a wide range of IP, to name just a few components. For example, offerings such as our IP cores and our Nios® II 32-bit processor can be used to efficiently develop low-cost, integrated networking solutions. Dive deeper into this site to learn more about how Altera’s industrial-grade programmable solutions can be a key part of your success.
