Note: (*) This configuration is only available in devices with the suffix R2 or R3 in their OPN number. For additional details on OPN decoding, refer to the Intel® Agilex™ FPGAs and SoCs Device Overview.
Note: The application clock frequency range is divided into steppings of 25 MHz, selectable in the IP Parameter Editor.

The following table shows the typical resource utilization information for selected configurations.

The resource usage is based on the Avalon® streaming IP core top-level entity (intel_rtile_pcie_ast) that includes IP core soft logic implemented in the FPGA fabric.
