5.1. PDN Design Guideline for Unused E-Tile

All E-Tile power rails (ending with _GXE) must be powered on PCB even if the E-Tile is not used in your board design. However, due to only small static or bypass current usage, the recommended decoupling capacitors in the Agilex™ 7 E-Tile Decoupling Capacitors Summary per Tile table for E-Tile power rails in this document are not required on PCB. You must still meet the voltage specification at package pin for the E-Tile power rails by selecting a proper voltage regulator (such as low ripple, DC setpoint, recommended VR bulk capacitors, etc.) and considering the static or bypass current.
