AlteraAgilex 27

The A27F027 is an Agilex 27 FPGA from Altera. It provides 852,067 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (2,700,000 logic elements (LEs)), 128 Mb of block RAM plus 171 Mb of M80K and 3,284 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 715 user I/O pins and 48 GX transceivers at up to 128 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen6 x8 blocks. It is available in 3 packages, from the U17A (38 × 31 mm) to the N24A (46 × 46 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
