Using External Memory Interfaces to Achieve Efficient High-Speed Memory Solutions
by Jim Turley
Because a fast and robust memory interface is crucial for many designers, Altera provides the fastest, most efficient, and lowest latency memory controllers, which allow designers to work with today’s higher speed memories quickly and easily. Designing with Arria V FPGAs not only helps to make designs successful but also ensures that implementation is fast and easy.

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR) today announced that its Stratix® V family of FPGAs is optimized to support Micron Technology's next-generation reduced-latency DRAM (RLDRAM® 3 memory). Stratix V FPGAs feature a new memory architecture that delivers the FPGA industry's highest system performance with low latency…

With high-speed 100-GbE communication network standards converging, switching functions play a key role in the smooth functioning of the Internet. The aggregated network traffic doubles every six months and grows in complexity as it is transported across multiple protocols, challenging the limits of current switch architectures. Because today’s single-chip-based architectures…
Altera's flash memory configuration controller provides an alternative configuration solution for high-density FPGA-based designs. With the flexibility to use a bigger flash memory to store more configuration data, designers can implement the flash memory controller in Altera's MAX® II, MAX 3000A, or MAX 7000 devices for use in Stratix series,…
