Overview
The Altera’s DK-DEV-3SL150NDK-DEV-3SL150N Stratix III Development Kit, which includes a full-featured field-programmable gate array (FPGA) development board, hardware and software development tools, documentation, and accessories needed to begin FPGA development. The Stratix III FPGA Development Kit delivers a complete environment for the development and testing of designs requiring high-performance and high-density devices. Altera Stratix III FPGAs combine the world's highest performance and highest density with the lowest possible power consumption.
You'll find Stratix III FPGAs provide the high-performance and high-integration capabilities needed for next-generation base stations, network infrastructure, and advanced imaging equipment. Stratix III FPGAs lower power consumption through Altera’s innovative Programmable Power Technology, which also provides the ability to turn on the performance where needed and turn down the power consumption for blocks not in use. Selectable Core Voltage and the latest in silicon process optimizations are also employed to deliver the industry’s lowest power, high-performance FPGAs.
The Stratix III FPGA Development Kit provides an integrated control environment that includes a USB command controller, a multi-port SRAM/DDR SDRAM/flash memory controller, Ethernet, an on-board meter, and example designs with demonstration circuitry specified in Verilog HDL code to help you get started quickly with your own designs. The development board also includes an Altera Stratix III FPGA configured with a hardware reference design stored in flash memory. You can use the development board, along with example designs included in the kit, as a platform to prototype complex embedded systems.
