5AGZE1

AlteraArria VSoC

The 5AGZE1 is an Arria V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 83,020 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (220,000 logic elements (LEs)), 332,080 flip-flops, 11.4 Mb of block RAM and 800 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 414 user I/O pins and 24 XCVR transceivers at up to 12.5 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen3 x8 blocks. It is available in 2 packages, from the H780 (29 × 29 mm) to the F1152 (35 × 35 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
