The DE5-Net leverages the Stratix® V GX FPGA's integrated transceivers, which operate up to 12.5 Gbps, to achieve full PCI Express 3.0 compliance. This enables ultra low-latency, direct connections to four external 10G SFP+ modules without relying on an external PHY, accelerating the development of high-speed connectivity applications. For designs that demand high capacity and speed for memory and storage, the DE5-Net delivers with two independent banks of DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM, four independent banks of Cypress QDRII+ SRAM, high-speed parallel flash memory, and four SATA ports.
