Altium has expanded its offering with the announcement of a new NanoBoard 3000 hosting the Altera Cyclone III FPGA. The new board continues to provide electronics designers with the same hardware, software, and ready-to-use, royalty-free IP of the NanoBoard 3000, but with the choice of Altera’s Cyclone III FPGA at its core.

Altium believes that with the NanoBoard 3000 electronics designers have everything they need to design and deploy sophisticated FPGA-based designs. Complete with hardware and software, the NanoBoard 3000 eliminates the need to search the web for drivers, peripherals or other software. It is a low-risk, low cost design alternative for electronics designers looking to move beyond the constraints of fixed hardware.

The new NanoBoard 3000AL and NanoBoard 3000XN (hosting the Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA) cost just US$395, including software, hardware and Altium’s royalty-free IP. Electronics designers can also exploit Altium’s range of learning materials and reference designs to get them up and running immediately.
