One of the most technologically sophisticated, high-performance, low-power FPGAs on the market is offered by the Stratix III family. Through Altera's ground-breaking Programmable Power Technology, which enables the ability to turn on performance when needed and reduce power consumption for blocks that are not in use, Stratix III FPGAs utilize less power. To produce the industry's lowest power, high-performance FPGAs, the latest silicon process optimizations and selectable core voltage are also used. The Stratix III FPGA family offers two variations that are specifically developed for simplicity of use and quick system integration and are geared to fulfill various application needs: For common applications, the Stratix III L family offers balanced logic, memory, and multiplier ratios, while the Stratix III E family is rich in memory and multipliers for data-centric applications.
