Altera, a leading supplier of programmable logic devices (PLDs), has announced that it has sold 50 million units of its industry-leading MAX 7128 device. The total quantity of units sold includes EPM7128, EPM-7128A, EPM7128S, and EPM7128B devices. Delivery of the actual 50 millionth unit was made to Cisco Systems. Altera said that the success of the MAX 7128 device type has been driven by the Internet revolution, from the earliest Ethernet switches to the most popular Internet routers and next generation optical networking systems. Approximately 70% of the MAX 7128 devices shipped were designed into communications systems.
The MAX 7128 architecture has been extremely popular since its original introduction in 1991. Of the various MAX 7000 product generations, the MAX 7000A family represents the fastest growing product-term architecture ever with currently 3000 customers and cumulative sales of over $170m, says the company. This 3,3 V family has been popular in DSL, VOIP, 3G wireless, high-speed routers, optical switches, and mass storage applications. In its nine-year history, the MAX 7128 device type has accounted for sales of over $750m to more than 10,000 customers. The recently introduced MAX 7000B devices are exceeding expectations, says Altera, and offer a unique position in the industry as the only 2,5 V, ISP-based devices currently available.
