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.
Enhanced with integrated transceivers and hard memory controllers, the Cyclone V devices are suitable
for applications in the industrial, wireless and wireline, military, and automotive markets.
