Regarding the Footprint creation of AGFB022R24C2E2V
Hi For the AGFB022R24C2E2V The package drawing specifies a solder resist opening of Ø0.50 ± 0.02 mm, but it does not specify the recommended PCB pad diameter. Could you please provide the recommended PCB land pattern, including the copper pad diameter and whether the pads should be solder mask defined (SMD) or non-solder mask defined (NSMD)? Addition please provide the Allegro footprint for AGFB022R24C2E2V10Views0likes1CommentDedicated Clock Pins for MAX 10
Hello Intel Community, I am currently designing a system using the Intel MAX 10 FPGA, specifically the 10M02SCM153C8G in the compact M153 micro-package. Due to the highly constrained pin resources and the presence of only a single hardware PLL (PLL1) on this device, I need to ensure that my clock network architecture conforms strictly to the hardware requirements to achieve optimal jitter performance and complete phase compensation. My Application Topology: Clock Input: An external reference clock enters the FPGA and drives the inclk0 port of the instantiated ALTPLL IP core. Phase Shift: Inside the ALTPLL, the clock waveform is inverted by 180 degrees. Clock Distribution: This 180-degree phase-shifted clock is split into two destinations: Internal: It drives an internal single-clock FIFO (scfifo) within the FPGA fabric. External: It is routed out through a physical I/O pin to drive an external MCU. My Questions for Intel Support: Dedicated Input Pins: For the M153 package of the 10M02 device, which physical pin numbers are the true Dedicated Clock Input Pins that are directly hardwired to the internal PLL1's inclk0 port, enabling full hardware-level phase compensation (Normal Mode) without introducing routing delays or Quartus compilation warnings? Dedicated Output Pins: To output the 180-degree inverted clock to the external MCU, does this device feature any Dedicated Clock Output Pins (such as PLL external clock outputs) that are physically bonded out in the M153 package? Or are we required to route this clock out via regular user I/O pins through the global clock network? ALTPLL Operation Mode Advice: Considering that this clock simultaneously drives an internal FIFO and an external MCU, which compensation mode (Normal Mode vs. Zero-Delay Buffer Mode) does Intel recommend for the ALTPLL IP core to minimize clock skew and ensure optimal timing closure? Are there any specific parameters (e.g., compensate_clock) that must be explicitly configured to align with the chosen dedicated pins? Any official documentation snippets, device handbook references, or design guidelines regarding the clock routing constraints for this specific micro-package would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your technical assistance! Best regards, Martin.Solved214Views0likes12CommentsLicence in Altera 2 Complete Design Suite version 13.0 SP1 For cyclone 1

Hallo, We used the Agilex5 device in AS configuration connect to external QSPI Flash. We apply Smart VID interface at the device demands. When we perform Cold power up at -40C the device is not configured, It seemed the device is not output from the POR, No traffic on the PMBus. Power sequence and voltage ramp time and levels are OK.

"Hello! I am currently facing an unusual issue when trying to use the Stratix III FPGA Development Kit. After installing Quartus II 13.1 Subscription Edition (the last version supporting the Stratix III family) along with the respective device files (.qdz) for Cyclone, Arria, and Stratix III, and properly configuring the license on Windows 11, the Stratix III family does not appear in the device selection wizard. Interestingly, the Quartus Device Installer states that the family is already installed, but it remains hidden inside the software. To isolate the issue, I have tested multiple operating systems and Quartus versions, but the problem persists: 1) Windows 11 & Windows 7 (Quartus II 13.1, 13.0, and 12.1 Subscription): Arria and Cyclone families work perfectly. Stratix III shows as installed in the device manager but is unavailable inside Quartus. 2) Windows 7 (Quartus II 9.0 Web Edition): The Stratix III family appears in the family selection menu in Quartus, but our specific device (EP3SL150F1152) is listed as unsupported. 3) Ubuntu 12.04 (Quartus II 13.1 Subscription): Same behavior as Windows; the installer claims it is there, but Quartus does not show it. Given these cross-platform results, I suspect the root cause might be: 1) A corrupted or flawed Stratix III device installer file (.qdz). 2) A licensing restriction, where our current license might need a specific feature enabled for the Stratix III family, even though the software allows the installation. Could you please guide me on how to get this Stratix III Development Kit operational (which features the EP3SL150F1152 device)?" Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance. Best regards!470Views0likes10CommentsURGENT SUPPORT FOR FMD DATA COLLECTION

Hello, I am using ModelSim-Intel FPGA Starter Edition included with Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1. When I press the Restart button in the ModelSim GUI after running RTL simulation, ModelSim exits with the following message: "ModelSim is exiting with code 211. Check the transcript file for more information on the fatal error." Environment: - Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1 - ModelSim-Intel FPGA Starter Edition 18.1 - Windows PC - ModelSim path: C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem 確認したこと: - Quartus / ModelSim は再インストールされました。 - 環境変数とPATH設定を確認しました。 - 同じプロジェクトが別のPCで正しく再起動できる場合。 - このPCではGUIの再起動ボタンを押すと問題が発生します。 - PCにはTrend Micro Apex Oneがインストールされています。 - リアルタイムスキャンからIntel FPGA / ModelSimフォルダを除外した後、ModelSimは正しく動作しました。 質問: GUIの再起動ボタンを使う場合、ModelSim-Intel FPGA Starter Edition 18.1で既知の問題として、終了コード211はありますか? また、この問題はウイルス対策ソフトやエンドポイントセキュリティソフトに関係している可能性はありますか? この問題に対するおすすめの設定や回避策はありますか? ありがとうございます。80Views0likes6CommentsError (209014): CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in device 1.
