A5E 013B
AlteraAgilex 5 E-SeriesThe A5E 013B is an Agilex 5 E-Series FPGA from Altera, built on the Intel 7 process. It provides 46,800 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (138,060 logic elements (LEs)), about 93,600 LUT4 equivalents, 187,200 flip-flops, 7 Mb of block RAM and 188 variable-precision DSP blocks. Versions with the optional hard processor system include four Arm Cortex-A76 + Cortex-A55 cores. The programmable logic offers up to 392 user I/O pins and 4 XCVR transceivers at up to 17 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen4 x4 blocks. It is available in 4 packages, from the M16A (16 × 16 mm) to the B32A (32 × 32 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
