Altera has started to sample Agilex® 5 D-Series FPGA devices to customers, expanding the Agilex 5 family for customers building higher-performance midrange systems. This adds a second Agilex 5 path alongside Agilex 5 E-Series FPGAs, which are already in full production.
Agilex 5 E-Series remains the production-ready choice for power- optimized midrange designs. It is a strong fit when customers need production availability, efficient power, and right-sized capability for applications such as industrial control, edge compute, physical AI, and embedded systems.
Agilex 5 D-Series extends the family for designs that need more system performance headroom. It is intended for applications that place heavier demands on signal processing, embedded memory, memory bandwidth, and fabric performance, including broadcast, wireless, video, AI-enabled embedded systems, and higher-performance applications that benefit from memory interfaces such as DDR5 and LPDDR5 capability.
One Agilex 5 family, two design paths
Agilex 5 E-Series | Agilex 5 D-Series |
In full production | Engineering samples available |
Power-optimized midrange designs | Higher-performance midrange designs |
Right-sized logic and efficient power | More DSP, embedded memory, EMIF bandwidth, and higher DDR and LPDDR bandwidth |
Industrial control, edge compute, physical AI and embedded systems | Data Center, Communications, Broadcast, video, and AI-enabled embedded systems |
Together, Agilex 5 E-Series and D-Series enable customers a clearer way to choose the right midrange FPGA path: production deployment today with E-Series, or higher-performance design evaluation with D-Series.
Customers evaluating Agilex 5 D-Series can begin real-silicon design work with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition 26.1.1 support. To order Agilex 5 D-Series engineering samples, please contact your Altera representative.
