Description:

The Cyclone® V devices are designed to simultaneously accommodate the shrinking power consumption, cost, and time-to-market requirements; and the increasing bandwidth requirements for high-volume and cost-sensitive applications.

Cyclone V E are optimized for the lowest system cost and power requirement for a wide spectrum of general logic and DSP applications.
