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.
