With each model year, your automotive applications are expected to deliver increasingly sophisticated

With each model year, your automotive applications are expected to deliver increasingly sophisticated
and integrated functionality. From navigation to driver assistance, networking to infotainment, automotive
systems call for high-quality, highly reliable underlying technology, as well as design flexibility to
meet emerging needs. For more and more automotive electronics designers, that underlying technology
is programmable logic.
In response to rapid changes in consumer electronics as well as government mandates, turn to programmable
logic devices (PLDs) to get your unique products out the door faster. When you need to prototype
and demonstrate your designs to OEMs, count on PLDs to help you meet your timeline—and even
let you make last-minute modifications without changing your board. Without the design respins
common in ASIC development, PLDs can also present a cost and time advantage. What’s more, PLDs
enable a single “platform” design which can easily be modified to suit the needs of different vehicle
classes, from mass market to luxury models.
Altera is known and trusted for offering the market’s broadest range of high-quality, automotive-grade
PLDs and structured ASICs. Our commitment to the automotive industry is demonstrated not only by
our reliable devices but also the reference designs, intellectual property (IP), software tools, and
development kits that help you get off the ground fast.
