ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY LOCATION
Altera plans to add Shinko’s assembly location in Arai, Japan to its qualified list. Shinko
has been selected because of their excellent assembly performance and their ability to
accommodate Altera’s high-volume capacity requirements. Shinko will manufacture
BGA and FineLine BGA packages for Altera. Existing products are not affected by this
factory introduction. Shinko is being used to expand Altera’s product offerings in the
BGA and FineLine BGA packages.
Initial product offerings from Shinko will be the EP20K200EF484, EP20K200EF672,
and EP20K300EF672.
Shinko-assembled products have the country of origin, “Japan”, marked on the topside of
the device. Shinko-assembled units are scheduled to begin shipping after May 15, 2000.
For more information, please contact your local Altera sales representative.
Qualification information will be available May 2000. Please contact Altera’s Customer Quality
