Cyclone® V FPGA Family

Altera Cyclone V FPGA and SoC family is designed to deliver a balance of high functionality, flexibility, and power efficiency. Built on a low-power fab process, it features an enhanced FPGA fabric with up to 301K logic elements, integrated high-speed transceivers, and variable-precision DSP blocks. With a broad mix of features, Cyclone V supports applications requiring robust processing capabilities, flexible I/O configurations, and high-speed data transfer. The SoC variants integrate an Arm®-based hard processor system (HPS) with dedicated memory controllers and high-bandwidth interconnects, offering seamless communication between the processor and FPGA fabric. With robust support for PCIe 2.0, DDR3 memory, and a variety of I/O standards, Cyclone V enables high-performance yet cost-effective solutions across industrial automation, automotive, video processing, and communications sectors.
