MAX® 10 FPGAs

Altera MAX 10 FPGAs offer advanced processing capabilities in a low-cost, single-chip, small-form-factor programmable logic device

Image of Intel®'s MAX® 10 FPGAsAltera MAX 10 FPGAs are single-chip solutions that integrate advanced processing, non-volatile flash memory, RAM, DSP blocks, and ADCs, delivering high performance in a compact, low-power, and cost-effective design. Ideal for industrial automation, automotive, and consumer electronics, they simplify system architecture by reducing board space and component count while maintaining functionality. With fast on-chip flash enabling rapid configuration, dual image support for reliability, and a low-power sleep mode for energy efficiency, MAX 10 FPGAs offer unmatched flexibility. Their versatile GPIO options, high-speed LVDS support, and scalable logic densities make them the perfect choice for designers seeking powerful yet efficient solutions for modern embedded applications.

  • Instant-on, embedded dual image flash + extra user flash: integrated flash for self-configuring instant-on with dual image support to simplify the board design and save board space. Alternatively, the extra flash can be used to store infrequent data logging or processor program code
  • Single supply option: in addition to saving the expense and board area of extra regulators, the single-supply voltage operation makes this suitable for supervisory functions that need to be functional first before all the other system voltage rails have been enabled
  • Integrated dual analog to digital converter: up to two built-in analog-to-digital converters with multichannel selection are great for monitoring power supplies or analog sensors
  • Package options: MAX 10 FPGAs have a wide array of packages from tiny 3 mm x 3 mm2 chip-scale packages to BGAs with over 500 I/O, and devices are available in Quad-Flat Pack (QFP) if a package with pins is preferred
