Altera ships Cyclone V FPGAs

30 May 2012 Programmable Logic

Altera has started shipping its 28-nm Cyclone V FPGAs. Integrating a combination of high functionality with low system cost and low power, the family is well suited for applications in the industrial, wireless, wireline, military and automotive markets.

The Cyclone V family is developed on TSMC’s 28-nm Low Power (28LP) process, and delivers up to 40% lower total power and up to 30% lower static power than the previous generation. They offer low-power serial transceivers with 88 mW power consumption per channel at 5 Gbps and over 4000 MIPS processing performance for under 1,8 W.

Additionally, the family integrates an abundance of hard intellectual property blocks, such as hard memory controllers supporting 400 MHz DDR3 and PCI Express Gen2 hard IP blocks with multifunction support. To protect valuable IP investments, the family also includes comprehensive design protection with features such as a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with volatile and non-volatile keys.
