5SGSD3

AlteraStratix V

The 5SGSD3 is a Stratix V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 89,000 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (236,000 logic elements (LEs)), 356,000 flip-flops, 13.4 Mb of block RAM and 600 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 432 user I/O pins and 24 GX transceivers at up to 14.1 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen3 blocks. It is available in 2 packages, from the H780 (EH29) (33 × 33 mm) to the F1152 (HF35) (35 × 35 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
