Founded in 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1997, Altera Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets (1) high-performance, high-density programmable logic devices, or PLDs; (2) pre-defined design building blocks known as intellectual property, or IP, cores; and (3) associated development tools. Our PLDs, which consist of field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs, and complex programmable logic devices, or CPLDs, are semiconductor integrated circuits that are manufactured as standard chips that our customers program to perform desired logic functions within their electronic systems. Our customers can license IP cores from us for implementation of standard functions in their PLD designs. Customers develop, compile, verify, and program their PLD designs using our proprietary development software, which operates on personal computers and engineering workstations. We were one of the first suppliers of complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, PLDs and are currently a global leader in this market. Today, we offer a broad range of PLDs that offer unique features as well as differing densities and performance specifications. Our products serve a wide range of markets, including telecommunications, data communications, computing and storage, consumer, and industrial applications. Some of our major products are more fully described below. Our headquarters facility is located at 101 Innovation Drive, San Jose, California 95134, and our website is www.altera.com. Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "ALTR." | |
