What is Altera?

Altera, now part of Intel, was a company that designed and manufactured field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), and associated design software. These devices are commonly used for a wide range of applications, including digital signal processing, image processing, high-performance computing, and embedded systems, where flexibility and customizability are required. Altera's products allow hardware to be reconfigured after manufacturing, enabling designers to adapt to changing requirements and implement custom logic functions.
