CPLD on Aliexpress - why they erase Altera logo from pictures?
c64:
I was looking for Altera MAX CPLD on Aliexpress and lot of sellers erase Altera logo from pictures (not from the chips). Few pictures attached, but you can search yourself for example EPM3064ATC44 (https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=EPM3064ATC44)
I don't remember seeing anything like this before
wraper:
They hide manufacturer name from just about any parts.
MadTux:
Perhaps to get away with fake parts, IDK?
I'd be careful with parts from china, ebay is already bad but Aliexpress is probably much worse.
The XC9572XLs I got a while ago were fine though, but I got screwed a couple of times with fake TMS2532s, GAL16V8s and some power MOSFETs.
Anything of value or much below average price is likely fake.

Fake parts are a problem, however I have not heard of any fake FPGAs or CPLDs yet.
greenpossum:
They Altera'd them. :-DD
