5AGXA5

AlteraArria VSoC

The 5AGXA5 is an Arria V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 71,698 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (190,000 logic elements (LEs)), 286,792 flip-flops, 11.5 Mb of block RAM and 600 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 544 user I/O pins and 24 XCVR transceivers at up to 6.5536 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen2 x4 blocks. It is available in 3 packages, from the F672 (27 × 27 mm) to the F1152 (35 × 35 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
