Altera Corp. has announced that all development kits supporting its latest generation of FPGAs and CPLDs are now compliant with the European Union’s RoHS directive. Altera now offers 10 RoHS-compliant development kits that support the Stratix II, Stratix II GX and Cyclone II FPGA families, and MAX II CPLDs. Altera now offers more than 1,200 products in lead-free packages. The company has shipped more than 25 million programmable logic devices in lead-free packages since 2002.
“Altera’s comprehensive portfolio of RoHS-compliant programmable solutions offers customers a wide range of environmentally friendly products without compromising performance or quality,” says Danny Biran, VP of product and corporate marketing at Altera.
The development kits are designed to be a complete, high-quality design environment for engineers that help simplify the design process and reduce time-to-market. Altera RoHS-compliant development kits are available with complete board design files, including schematics, layout and bill of materials, allowing designers to use portions of the board design as a reference for their own designs.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
