 PROFILE
Businesses seem to like snacking on Altera's chips. The company's high-density programmable logic devices (PLDs) incorporate integrated circuits and embedded software that more than 13,000 manufacturers use to make communications, computer, and industrial equipment. Altera makes three types of PLDs to address different markets, including products for system-on-a-chip applications. It also provides the software used to program the chips. PLDs are gaining popularity over custom logic chips because they help manufacturers cut development costs and time to market. About 95% of Altera's sales are through distributors. US customers account for nearly half of the acquisitive company's sales.
