6. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design

The Board Developer Center provides on-line access to many board design resources in a step-by-step manner. It includes Design Considerations, Learning Resources, Getting Started, Developer Resources, and PCB Manufacturing Resources.

In addition to the Board Developer Center, a guided journey is also available for designing printed circuit boards for applications which employ Agilex™ 7 devices. It surfaces relevant key resources in an easy-to-use step-by-step approach. Refer to the Agilex™ 7 Board Design Guided Journey.

There are several key documents to review prior to starting a board design that are introduced next.

The AN 886: Agilex™ 7 Device Design Guidelines is another key document to review prior to the start of the board design. It contains a dedicated section on Board Design considerations and migration information. Topics covered include Early System and Board Planning, SmartVID, Voltage sensing, Power-Up, Powering, Configuration, Board Design Guidelines for SoC FPGAs, Pin connection considerations, Quartus® Prime Pro settings, and signal-integrity considerations. It may be used to generate a system requirements document which is usually a prerequisite to board design.

The AN 958: Board Design Guidelines provides you with board design-related resources for Intel devices. Its goal is to help you implement successful high-speed PCBs that integrate device(s) and other elements.

The High-Speed Serial Interface Signal Integrity Design Guidelines provides detailed information on channel loss, PCB Materials, and Stack-up, and also PCB design recommendations by Tile (E-Tile, F-Tile, P-Tile, and R-Tile).
