5SGXB6
AlteraStratix VThe 5SGXB6 is a Stratix V FPGA from Altera, built on a 28 nm process. It provides 225,400 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (597,000 logic elements (LEs)), 902,000 flip-flops, 52 Mb of block RAM and 399 variable-precision DSP blocks. It offers up to 600 user I/O pins and 66 GX transceivers at up to 14.1 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen3 blocks. It is available in 2 packages, from the F1517 (RF40) (40 × 40 mm) to the F1760 (RF43) (42.5 × 42.5 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
