A3C 065
AlteraAgilex 3The A3C 065 is an Agilex 3 FPGA from Altera, built on the Intel 7 process. It provides 22,200 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (65,490 logic elements (LEs)), about 44,400 LUT4 equivalents, 88,800 flip-flops, 3.3 Mb of block RAM and 88 variable-precision DSP blocks. Versions with the optional hard processor system include two Arm Cortex-A55 cores. The programmable logic offers up to 256 user I/O pins. It is available in 3 packages, from the M12A (12 × 12 mm) to the B18B (18 × 18 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
