5AGXB1

AlteraArria VSoC

The 5AGXB1 is an Arria V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 113,208 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (300,000 logic elements (LEs)), 452,832 flip-flops, 14.8 Mb of block RAM and 920 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 704 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 F896 (31 × 31 mm) to the F1517 (40 × 40 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
