5AGXA1

AlteraArria VSoC

The 5AGXA1 is an Arria V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 28,302 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (75,000 logic elements (LEs)), 113,208 flip-flops, 7.8 Mb of block RAM and 240 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 416 user I/O pins and 9 XCVR transceivers at up to 6.5536 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.
