AGRW039

AlteraAgilex 9 Direct RF

The AGRW039 is an Agilex 9 Direct RF SoC FPGA from Altera, built on the Intel 7 process. It provides 1,305,600 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (3,851,520 logic elements (LEs)), 5,222,400 flip-flops, 370 Mb of block RAM and 12,300 variable-precision DSP blocks. Its processing system includes four Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at up to 1.41 GHz. The programmable logic offers up to 768 user I/O pins and 32 XCVR transceivers at up to 58 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen4 x16 blocks. It comes in a single package, the 3184F (56 × 45 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
