5AGTC3
AlteraArria VSoCThe 5AGTC3 is an Arria V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 58,900 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (156,000 logic elements (LEs)), 235,600 flip-flops, 10.3 Mb of block RAM and 396 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 416 user I/O pins and 7 XCVR/XCVR transceivers at up to 10.3125 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen2 x4 blocks. It is available in 2 packages, from the F672 (27 × 27 mm) to the F896 (31 × 31 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
