Altera’s 2008 launch of the Stratix IV and HardCopy IV device families marked the introduction of the world’s first 40-nm FPGAs and the industry’s only risk-free path to 40-nm ASICs. The event culminated over three years of exhaustive planning and development to deliver custom logic devices exhibiting uncompromised product leadership. Altera’s subsequent announcement in 2009 of Arria II GX and Stratix IV GT FPGA families results in the industry’s most comprehensive transceiver-product portfolio.
