Many of the Stratix
®
V devices and features are enabled in the Quartus
®
II software version 13.0. The
remaining devices and features will be enabled in future versions of the Quartus II software.
Altera’s 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 communications
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 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
Altera’s 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 Altera’s unique HardCopy ASIC capabilities. The Embedded HardCopy Block in Stratix V
FPGAs is used to harden IP instantiation of PCIe Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1.

The F1517 package contains 24 PLLs. The other packages with this device contain 20 PLLs.
LVDS counts are full duplex channels. Each full duplex channel is one transmitter (TX) pair plus one receiver
(RX) pair.
A superscript
H
after the number of transceivers indicates that this device is only available in a hybrid package.
Hybrid packages are slightly larger than conventional FBGAs. Refer to Altera’s packaging documentation for
more information.
Migration between select Stratix V GX devices and Stratix V GS devices is available. For more information,
