SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
What: High-end FPGAs, structured ASICs, design tools as well as
protocol solutions from Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR)
and its
partners will be on exhibit at DesignCon 2007. Taking place Jan. 29
to Feb. 1 in Santa Clara, Calif., visitors to Altera's booth no.
503 will:

- Discover how the award-winning 65-nm Stratix(R) III FPGAs,
HardCopy(R) II structured ASIC family and software design tools
deliver the highest performance with the lowest power in
the industry.

- Witness the industry's fastest production FPGA serial
transceivers operating error free on 1 m of FR-4 backplane and
15 m of PCI Express cable.

- See the first demonstration showcasing the interoperability of
Altera's Stratix II GX FPGA, running Sarance Technologies'
Interlaken intellectual property (IP) core which includes five
channels at 6.375 Gbps, with Cortina's CS3477, the market's
highest-density, bandwidth-doubling 10 Gbps Ethernet MAC
Aggregator IC.
