AlteraAgilex 27

The A27F018 is an Agilex 27 FPGA from Altera. It provides 602,784 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (1,800,000 logic elements (LEs)), 86 Mb of block RAM plus 115 Mb of M80K and 2,208 AI Tensor DSP blocks. Versions with the optional hard processor system include four Arm Cortex-A720 + Cortex-A520 cores running at up to 2.3 GHz. The programmable logic offers up to 325 user I/O pins and 32 GX/GS transceivers at up to 128 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen6 x8 blocks. It is available in 4 packages, from the U10A (27 × 27 mm) to the N24A (46 × 46 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
