Agilex - Fabric Speed

Hello,

I am looking to find the fabric speed of Agilex FPGA.

OPN: AGFA012R24C2E1V

Can you help to answer the following questions?

1) Is LVDS serdes a part of FPGA Fabric?

2) How do I find the Fabric speed of the above mentioned FPGA?

Looking at the data sheet, I got the following info. But I am not sure if it is the fabric speed.

Thanks

    What do you mean by "fabric speed"? Do you mean how fast a design can run in the device? That depends on the design and the device. You may see that devices can "run up to" a certain speed.

      Hello Aqid,

      I am still not clear on the following two questions. Can you kindly answer this?

      OPN: AGFA012R24C2E1V

      1) Is LVDS serdes a part of FPGA Fabric?

      2) How do I find the Fabric speed of the above mentioned FPGA?. I mean how fast can I run the state machines?

    Hi,


    The Intel® Agilex™ I/O system includes three types of I/O interfaces which includes GPIO interface.


    GPIO interface has a feature where it supports LVDS serializer/deserializer (SERDES) through the True Differential Signaling I/Os in the GPIO banks. It can support the SERDES interfaces up to 1.6 Gbps.


    You can implement your high-speed LVDS I/O design using the LVDS SERDES Intel® FPGA IP in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. The software contains tools for you to create and compile your design, and configure your device.

    The Intel® Quartus® Prime software allows you to prepare for device migration, set pin assignments, define placement restrictions, setup timing constraints, and customize the LVDS SERDES IP.


    Regards,

    Aqid
