Altera's Cyclone ® V FPGAs deliver optimal performance and the industry's lowest system cost and power to differentiate high-volume applications. It offers up to 40% lower total power consumption than previous generations, efficient logic integration capabilities, as well as SoC FPGA products with built-in transceiver products and ARM-based hard processor systems.
Cyclone V Family Type
The Cyclone V family consists of the following six products.
FPGA
- Cyclone VE (logic only)
- Cyclone V GX with 3.125 Gbps transceiver
SoC FPGAs
- Cyclone V SE SoC FPGA with ARM®-based Hard Processor System (HPS)
- Cyclone V SX SoC FPGA with ARM-based HPS and 3.125 Gbps transceiver
- Cyclone V ST SoC FPGA with ARM-based HPS and 6.144 Gbps transceiver
SoC FPGA – customizable ARM processor-based SoC
SoC FPGAs reduce system power consumption, system cost, and Provides board space reduction. The combination of HPS and Altera's 28nm low-power FPGA fabric offers application-class ARM processor ecosystem and performance with the flexibility, low power, and low cost of Cyclone V FPGAs.
業界をリードする低消費電力と低システム・コスト
Manufactured on TSMC's 28nm LP process, Cyclone V FPGAs deliver the performance demanded by cost-sensitive applications while reducing power and cost.
- Up to 40% lower total power consumption than Cyclone IV GX FPGAs
- Lowest power serial transceiver (88mW max power per channel for 5 Gbps transceiver)
- Over 4,000 MIPS (Dhrystones 2.1 benchmark) with less than 1.8 W power consumption (SoC FPGA)
- More hard IP (Intellectual Property) blocks for even lower power consumption
Cost savings also come from being able to operate with only two power regulator voltages and being offered in wire-bond packages, including small packages.
Abundant hard IP blocks
Cyclone V FPGAs include numerous hard IP blocks that allow you to differentiate your product while lowering overall system cost and power consumption, and shortening your design's time to market. The main hard IP blocks are:
- Hardened memory controller supporting Mobile DDR, LPDDR2 SDRAM, and 400 MHz DDR3 SDRAM with optional error correction code (ECC) support
- Multi-function compatible PCI Express® Gen2
- Variable precision digital signal processing (DSP) block
- HPS (SoC FPGAs only):
・Dual-core ARM Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ processor
・Embedded Peripherals (Ethernet, USB, Flash, etc.)
・High bandwidth HPS/FPGA interconnect exceeding 100 Gbps
Additionally, Cyclone V FPGAs offer the most comprehensive design protection available in an FPGA with features such as 256-bit AES with volatile and non-volatile keys to protect your valuable IP assets.
Suitable for cost-sensitive high-volume applications
Cyclone V FPGAs are ideal for high-volume applications such as protocol bridging, motor control drives, broadcast video converter/capture cards, and portable devices. Discover the benefits of Cyclone V FPGAs in various markets.
