Cyclone V SoC
Cyclone V SoC Qseven SOM is based on Altera’s Cyclone V SX SoC Dual Core ARM Cortex-A9 HPS with FPGA based
CPU which can operate up to 800 MHz speed/core. The Dual ARM Cortex A9 core with the FPGA allows greater
flexibility for the system designers and helps to lower the system cost and power consumption. This improved logic
integration with increased bandwidth capacity which is ideal for cost-sensitive high end applications. The Block
diagram of Cyclone V SoC from the Altera’s Cyclone V SoC datasheet is shown below for your reference.

Note: Please refer the latest Cyclone V SoC Datasheet & Handbook from Altera website for Electrical characteristics of
Cyclone V SoC which may be revised from time to time.
