Altera Agilex™ 5 FPGAs & SoCs
Altera Agilex™ 5 FPGAs and SoCs serve a broad range of applications that require high performance, lower power, smaller form factors, and lower logic densities. The Agilex 5 devices feature enhanced DSP with an AI tensor block that delivers high-efficiency Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) functionality. An asymmetric applications processor system, consisting of dual Arm® Cortex-A76 cores and dual Cortex-A55 cores, enables performance and power efficiency optimization of workloads.
Built using Intel 7 technology, the Altera Intel Agilex 5 FPGAs offer advanced features such as a second-generation Intel® Hyperflex™ FPGA architecture, high-speed transceivers supporting up to 28.1Gbps, and PCIe 4.0 x8, DDR memory interface up to DDR5 at 4000Mbps, and general-purpose I/O from 1.05V to 3.3V. These characteristics make the devices ideal for midrange FPGA applications across the edge and core, including wireless/wireline communications, video/broadcast equipment, industrial applications, test/measurement products, medical electronics, data centers, and defense applications.
