2.5.1. Guidelines: Group Pin Placement

Follow these guidelines to place the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP group pins.
  1. All groups in a PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP must be placed across a contiguous set of lanes. The number of lanes depends on the number of pins used by the group. Refer to the Intel® Agilex™ Input DQS Clock Tree for more information about the number lanes used per pin width.
  2. A PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP must fit within one I/O sub-bank and must not span across multiple I/O sub-banks. One I/O sub-bank can support only one IP instance.
  3. Two groups within a PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP cannot share an I/O lane.
  4. When there are multiple groups within an IP instance, the pins must be set to either bidirectional or unidirectional (can be a mix of input and output groups). Do not mix bidirectional and unidirectional pin types in the same IP instance.
  5. If an input group uses ×36 DQS/strobe tree, another group must be set as an output group to utilize the remainder I/O lane in the same I/O sub-bank.
  6. If a group is set to bidirectional pin type and uses the ×36 DQS/strobe tree, no other groups are allowed to be in the same IP.
  7. Control signals are shared across all groups within an IP instance.
  8. Pins that are not used in an I/O sub-bank cannot be used as GPIO pins.
  9. You must calibrate the I/Os within the same I/O lane using the same OCT calibration block. You can associate the terminated pins of the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP instance with an RZQ pin through the RZQ_GROUP assignment.
  10. You can place the data pin locations either automatically or manually in the Pin Placement tab. You must enter your desired Physical Sub-Bank ID. Refer to diagrams in the Intel® Agilex™ I/O Sub-bank Interconnects topic for the physical sub-bank ID for pin placement.
  11. The PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP must be placed at the Quartus-IP Generation stage because the pin placements are not available using QSF Assignments.
Table 20.  Pin Index Mapping
I/O Bank Pin Index I/O Sub-bank Pin Index Lane Sub-bank Location
0-11 0-11 (pins 4 and 5 are reserved for strobes) 0 Bottom
12-23 12-23 (pins 16 and 17 are reserved for strobes) 1
24-35 24-35 (pins 28 and 29 are reserved for strobes) 2
36-47 36-47 (pins 40 and 41 are reserved for strobes) 3
48-59 0-11 (pins 4 and 5 are reserved for strobes) 0 Top
60-71 12-23 (pins 16 and 17 are reserved for strobes) 1
72-83 24-35 (pins 28 and 29 are reserved for strobes) 2
84-95 36-47 (pins 40 and 41 are reserved for strobes) 3

For more information about strobe and clock pin indexes, refer to the device pin-out files.

Automatic and Manual Pin Placement

Follow these guidelines for automatic and manual pin placements:

  1. Go to the Pin Placement tab.
  2. To identify the sub-bank:
    • Default value = 0.
    • Use only bonded sub-banks. The bonded sub-banks are unshaded in the Example of Pin Placement for a Single Group diagram.
    • This example uses sub-bank ID =1 that is located at Bank 3A.
    Figure 19. Example of Pin Placement for a Single Group

    This example uses the Intel® Agilex™ AGF022 and AGF027 devices, package R25A.

  3. Each sub-bank has 48 pins.
  4. In automatic mode, by default, all pins inside a group are placed in a tightly packed manner.
  5. In manual mode, you can customize the pin placement within the sub-bank according to your requirement.
    • By default, all data pins are contiguous in sequential order.
    • For example, for a pin width of 8, data pins are assigned to Pin 0, 1, 2, and 3 in Lane 1 and Lane 2.
    • You can choose to specify the placements manually, by providing a comma-separated list of pin locations, one for each data pin in Pin Placement Settings.
    • The comma-separated list of pin locations is based on the index within an I/O sub-bank. Refer to the Pin Index Mapping table.
