Cyclone V Features Summary
Cyclone V Features Summary
Some of the key features of the Cyclone V devices include:
■
Built-in hard IP blocks
■
Support for all mainstream single-ended and differential I/O standards including
3.3 V at up to 16 mA drive strengths
■
■
■
HPS for the Cyclone V SE, SX, and ST variants
Comprehensive design protection features to protect your valuable IP investments
Lowest system cost advantage—requires only two core voltages to operate, are
available in low-cost wirebond packaging, and includes innovative cost saving
features such as Configuration via Protocol (CvP) and partial reconfiguration
Table 1–1 lists a summary of the Cyclone V features.
