IO - Max Frequency

[SiddharthPoduval]

Hi ,Am trying to get the following information.

1)What is the most advanced Intel FPGA offering

2)What is the frequency of operation of the IO's for this top of the line FPGA .

3)Documentation that describes the signaling voltage, protocol(HSTL,LVDS...etc) and max freq of the IO's for this FPGA it will be helpful. We are looking for 800Mhz FPGA IO pins that can interface to the GPIO's of our test chip.

4)The usable maximum pins available for this product

The above four points will help us decide.

Thanks,Siddharth

Hello Siddarth,

1)What is the most advanced Intel FPGA offering

We have variety of choices of FPGA: Agilex, Stratix, Arria, Cyclone and Max Series.

You can find more information about this lineup from this link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/programmable/fpga.html

Agilex is our newest and more advanced FPGA.

2)What is the frequency of operation of the IO's for this top of the line FPGA .

This specification is limited by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum achievable I/O frequency is different for each I/O standard and is dependent on design and system specific factors. 

The maximum input clock frequency for I/O PLL Specification is 1,100 Mhz

More information can be found on this document on page 22: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/agilex/ag_datasheet.pdf
