Terasic

Terasic Technologies Co., Ltd., commonly known as Terasic, is a Taiwan-based designer and manufacturer of FPGA development boards and related hardware. Since its establishment in the early 2000s, Terasic has focused on creating development kits used by educators, researchers, and hobbyists to prototype and evaluate field-programmable gate arrays and system-on-chip devices.

Terasic's product line is best known for the DE-series development boards, which target Intel/Altera FPGAs and SoCs. Notable examples include DE1, DE2, DE3, DE0, and DE10-Nano. The DE10-Nano in particular has become prominent in the open-hardware and education communities and is widely used in projects such as the MiSTer FPGA retro-computing platform.

Beyond the DE-series, Terasic offers other boards including DE1-SoC and DE10-Lite, which vary in size, performance, and price. The company provides reference designs, tutorials, and sample projects, and supports common FPGA toolchains such as Intel Quartus Prime.

Terasic products are distributed worldwide through a network of distributors and partners, and are used in universities, research labs, and industry prototypes. The company maintains collaborations with semiconductor partners and participates in the broader FPGA ecosystem aimed at education and prototyping.
