5SGSD4
AlteraStratix VThe 5SGSD4 is a Stratix V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 135,840 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (360,000 logic elements (LEs)), 543,000 flip-flops, 18.7 Mb of block RAM and 1,044 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 696 user I/O pins and 36 GX transceivers at up to 14.1 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen3 blocks. It is available in 3 packages, from the H780 (EH29) (33 × 33 mm) to the F1517 (KF40) (40 × 40 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
