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 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 14.1-Gbps transceivers supporting backplanes and optical modules. 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 14.1-Gbps transceivers, which support backplanes and optical modules.

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.
