A5E 065A
AlteraAgilex 5 E-SeriesThe A5E 065A is an Agilex 5 E-Series FPGA from Altera, built on the Intel 7 process. It provides 222,400 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (656,080 logic elements (LEs)), about 444,800 LUT4 equivalents, 889,600 flip-flops, 31.5 Mb of block RAM and 846 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 504 user I/O pins and 24 XCVR transceivers at up to 28 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen4 x4 blocks. It is available in 2 packages, from the B23A (23 × 23 mm) to the B32A (32 × 32 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
