Explore Cyclone® V GT FPGAs
Cyclone V GT FPGAs deliver a low-cost, low-power solution for applications requiring transceivers up to 6.144 Gbps, combining flexible logic, DSP resources, embedded memory, and hard IP. Built on 28 nm low-power process technology, they support high-bandwidth applications in wireline, broadcast and Pro AV, and test and measurement systems.
Key Features
| Internal memory blocks | M10K: 10-kilobits (Kb) memory blocks with soft error correction code (ECC). Memory logic array block (MLAB): 640-bit distributed LUTRAM where you can use up to 25% of the ALMs as MLAB memory. |
| General-purpose I/Os | 875 megabits per second (Mbps) low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receiver and 840 Mbps LVDS transmitter. 400 MHz/800 Mbps external memory interface. On-chip termination (OCT). 3.3 V support with up to 16 mA drive strength. |
| Embedded hard IP blocks | Embedded internal coefficient memory, and adder/subtractor for improved efficiency. Memory controller: DDR3, DDR2, and LPDDR2 with 16 and 32-bit ECC support. |
| Low-power serial transceivers | Cyclone V GT devices deliver low-power 6.144 Gbps transceivers at an estimated 88 mW maximum power consumption per channel. |

Common Questions
Choose Cyclone V GT when supported serial rates above Cyclone V GX's documented capability are required. Verify channel count and protocol support for the selected part.
Channel power covers part of the system. Total device power also includes logic, DSP, memory, I/O and operating activity.
Check buffering, clock-domain crossings, supply noise and channel margin. Compare controlled link tests with application traffic.
Use a supported controller when external-memory traffic and configuration fit the design. Budget arbitration and read/write bandwidth under peak load.
Supported CPRI configurations combine higher-rate serial connectivity with programmable processing. Confirm device grade, deterministic latency and synchronization requirements.
