Alteras 28-nm Stratix V FPGAs include innovations such as an enhanced core architecture, integrated
transceivers up to 28.05 gigabits per second (Gbps), and a unique array of integrated hard intellectual
property (IP) blocks.
With these innovations, Stratix V FPGAs deliver a new class of application-targeted devices optimized for:
Bandwidth-centric applications and protocols, including PCI Express (PCIe ) Gen3
Data-intensive applications for 40G/100G and beyond
High-performance, high-precision digital signal processing (DSP) applications
Stratix V devices are available in four variants (GT, GX, GS, and E), each targeted for a different set of
applications. For higher volume production, you can prototype with Stratix V FPGAs and use the low-
risk, low-cost path to HardCopy V ASICs.

Stratix V Family Variants
The Stratix V device family contains the GT, GX, GS, and E variants.
Stratix V GT devices, with both 28.05-Gbps and 12.5-Gbps transceivers, are optimized for applications
that require ultra-high bandwidth and performance in areas such as 40G/100G/400G optical communica
tions systems and optical test systems. 28.05-Gbps and 12.5-Gbps transceivers are also known as GT and
GX channels, respectively.
Stratix V GX devices offer up to 66 integrated transceivers with 14.1-Gbps data rate capability. These
transceivers also support backplane and optical interface applications. These devices are optimized for
high-performance, high-bandwidth applications such as 40G/100G optical transport, packet processing,
and traffic management found in wireline, military communications, and network test equipment
markets.
Stratix V GS devices have an abundance of variable precision DSP blocks, supporting up to 3,926 18x18
or 1,963 27x27 multipliers. In addition, Stratix V GS devices offer integrated transceivers with 14.1-Gbps
data rate capability. These transceivers also support backplane and optical interface applications. These
devices are optimized for transceiver-based DSP-centric applications found in wireline, military,
broadcast, and high-performance computing markets.

Stratix V Features Summary
2015.10.01
Stratix V E devices offer the highest logic density within the Stratix V family with nearly one million logic
elements (LEs) in the largest device. These devices are optimized for applications such as ASIC and system
emulation, diagnostic imaging, and instrumentation.
Common to all Stratix V family variants are a rich set of high-performance building blocks, including a
redesigned adaptive logic module (ALM), 20 Kbit (M20K) embedded memory blocks, variable precision
DSP blocks, and fractional phase-locked loops (PLLs). All of these building blocks are interconnected by
Alteras superior multi-track routing architecture and comprehensive fabric clocking network.
Also common to Stratix V devices is the new Embedded HardCopy Block, which is a customizable hard
IP block that leverages Alteras unique HardCopy ASIC capabilities. The Embedded HardCopy Block in
Stratix V FPGAs is used to harden IP instantiation of PCIe Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1.
