Altera Corporation is the world's pioneer of system-on-a- programmable-chip (SOPC) solutions. With annual revenues in CY 2003 of $827.2 million, Altera combines the reprogrammable logic technology originally invented in 1983 with software tools, intellectual property (IP), and design services to provide high-value programmable solutions to approximately 14,000 customers worldwide. Altera is headquartered in San Jose, California, and employs approximately 2,000 people in 14 countries.
Committed to helping customers achieve their business goals, Altera aggressively invests in research and development efforts despite global economic pressures. Altera's FPGAs are uniquely positioned to displace costly, high-risk solutions such as ASICs and ASSPs, and offer a viable, more flexible alternative to digital signal processors-delivering value to a much broader market than was previously addressed by programmable logic.
