6.4.1.3. Choosing Terminations on Agilex™ 7 M-Series FPGA Devices

To determine optimal on-chip termination (OCT) and on-die termination (ODT) values for best signal integrity, you should simulate your memory interface in HyperLynx or a similar tool, using a simulation model extracted from the PCB of your memory interface channel.

If the optimal OCT and ODT values as determined by simulation are not available in the list of available values in the parameter editor, select the closest available termination values for OCT and ODT.

For information about available ODT choices, refer to your memory vendor data sheet.
