Low-Power Serial Transceivers
Low-Power Serial Transceivers
Arria V devices deliver the industry’s lowest power 10-Gbps transceivers at less than
140 mW and 6-Gbps transceivers at less than 100 mW power consumption per
channel. Arria V transceivers are designed to be standard compliant for a wide range
of protocols and data rates.
The transceivers are positioned on the left and right outer edges of the device, as
shown in Figure 1–1.

Notes to Figure 1–1:
(1) This figure represents an Arria V device with transceivers. Other Arria V devices may have a different floor plan than the one shown here.
(2) This figure is a graphical representation of a top view of the silicon die, which corresponds to a reverse view for flip chip packages.
