Devices covered by the agreement include select MAX 7000 CPLDs and FLEX, APEX and Stratix GX FPGAs. These devices are widely used in military/aerospace, transportation, medical, industrial and communications applications, all of which are characterised by long installed product lifetimes and the need for extended availability of component parts. Users of these FPGAs and CPLDs will have continued access to a secure and reliable source of parts for maintenance and replacement purposes. With this deal, Rochester is also able to support demand of small quantities from customers.
Chris Gerrish, President, Rochester Electronics, said: “We are pleased to expand our partnership with Altera to include selective members of its mature parts. By entering into this agreement, we are able to enrich our product catalogue and further support our customers’ supply requirements.”
